Employees & I were just talking about this fire an hour ago. One of my employees saw this on their way to work before FD got there. Apparently a small kid in the car but everyone got out safely.

Number 4 Bolding mine

The national average is one fire per 19 million miles driven.​

(Inside EVs)

Currently, the national average is one fire per 19 million miles driven; however, some car models hold up better than others, so you might want to do extra research before purchasing something new. For instance, Tesla has released data spanning from 2012 to 2020 that reveals its cars have a fire every 205 million miles, proving that they are more than 10 times less likely to catch fire than the average vehicle.

Wow. If Tesla says so....

I have to believe that because, if Ford, GM, Chrysler, BMW, VW, AMC and Datsun taught me one thing... It's that a company selling it's product would NEVER misrepresent the quality, reliability and safety of it's product.

Sure did. I don't know that they ever got hot enough to catch on fire. Buddy who bought a 1986 or 87 GM pickup with a transmission problem got one as a loaner for a month.ki Man did we have fun busting his cookies. Damn, spare tire was mounted on top of the engine which tells you exactly how much heat that generated

My Subaru BRAT had the tire over the engine too, but it was such a small twin-opposed 4 it didn't generate any heat. Actually had trouble keeping warm in the winter.
