I think Teslas shouldn't speak for all EVs.

the company has demonstrated a very high tolerance for risk. In execution, but also they don't seem to care about reputational risk. Other manufacturers with a larger business at stake, I would expect to handle recalls, safety in a different manner (one of the reasons they are lagging in the EV space)

So.. EVs have significantly less fires than combustion engines

But EVs fires are more severe

Tesla is a mess.

EV chemistry is getting better and safer over time.

Combustion engines are largely at their limit.
