@lawprofblawg there is the issue of causality though. Did the fire cause the deaths or would the people have died anyway? And let's see how often gas engine cars explode after a major crash - I believe I read it is substantially more than Teslas. But I don't have a citation for it.
PS. I'm not a Tesla owner or fanboy, just interested in statistics.
