Exaggeration, perhaps, but the majority of collisions occur on local roads rather than on highways, and as you say, the Tesla is more likely to be used locally than on long highway trips, hence more exposed to drunks running stop signs and so forth.
- SeanLuke 13y agoNone of which has anything to do with vehicle fires, which is the topic at hand.
- blisterpeanuts 13y agoVehicle fires are a potential result of collisions, no? They don't just occur spontaneously.
- SeanLuke 13y agoSure they do. Vehicle fires occur spontaneously, due to sabotage (the most common reason), due to various acts of god, due to road debris, and due to collisions. Anyway, two of the three Tesla fires were on freeways, not local roads. The third was under somewhat mysterious circumstances (Mexico).
