Electric cars have a way lower amount of deaths from fire than petrol cars. So why would there be outrage about Tesla fire safety?

The Comparison in the image also completely ignores number of cars on the street, time period, miles driven. All car models will have fire deaths.

The outrage about the Ford Pinto was because it was a known specific defect which was covered up (fuel tank rupturing when rear ended), more than the number of deaths in itself. As far as I can tell, the number of fire deaths were actually not extraordinarily high for the Pinto. Hence comparing this not especially high number to Tesla for outrage purposes is meaningless.
