      Or any vehicle with an internal combustion engine, because those burn way more often.

      But their fires aren’t reported on as much because it doesn’t cause as much ragebait engagement.

        It ain’t just ragebait, Lithium battery fires burn much hotter and are way harder to deal with. All it takes is one cell to be damaged to cause a chain reaction. We gotta have better types of batteries first, and we’re getting there. New batteries exist, they are cheaper, and safer but they are bulkier.

      Teslas are especially unsafe, and often lock people inside when they fail. This is because Tesla is run by one of the dumbest men who ever lived.
