It's not unique problem to Teslas. People burn to death in their cars every single day. Most of these cases simply aren't newsworthy enough to write articles about where as Tesla on the other hand is under constant scrutiny which skews the image of how safe or reliable they actually are.
Assuming we're talking about a car crash in which the vehicle doesn't catch on fire, Teslas are among the safest vehicles you can buy according to both IIHS and Euro NCAP
Fair point! I def hear it about Tesla more because of the hype.
