Sort of like gas tanks?
Petrol is way safer. The tanks are protected behind the second axle, and the fuel lines are either hardened or flexible, and in any event also well protected. That is why data show only 2% of fires are caus by problems relating to the fuel system. Tesla would need to have 200 more fires that did not involve the LiIon to become safer (on an apples to apples comparison). Something tells me that proving that case wouldn't do them any good.

Yes, but with petrol cars, we're benefitting from over 100 years of experience and engineering -- with many, many horrific fatalities included in the "experience." Considering how recently the Tesla engineers started off, I'd say they're doing a stellar job. (For heavens sakes, the system tells you what's up and warns you to pull over and get out!)
