Nope. Not BS. Sorry, you don't like it, but it is true. More Tesla's have caught fire than any other brand of vehicle in this Texas community.
Google Fire Tesla Texas. Enjoy!

Well that doesn't actually turn up any results, except for that one incident that made the news, with the drivers in the backseat. And this article debunking the fire claims: https://cleantechnica.com/2021/12/08/its-extremely-rare-for-...

How do you have accurate stats of every vehicle fire in your town by make and model? I doubt you do, which is why your statement sounds dishonest

>In fact the rank best in class in pretty much ever safety rating in pretty much every country.
That's not true. No NCAP ratings have Tesla at the best as far as I can see. There's even a Chinese/Israeli company releasing their very first car ever that beats Tesla in EuroNCAP ratings? It's not even in top ten as far as I can see. Strangely it seem to get better ratings in all tests in the US compared to elsewhere. Of it is corruption or a car made to beat a test instead of for real life safety I don't know but something stinks.
I have been following Tesla for a long time and every single 'Tesla catches on fire for no reason' story turned out to be non-sense.
A Tesla catching on fire 'spontaneously' would have made some news and 3 would for sure. Please show sources where and when this happened.
And there are plenty of incidents where parked gas cars catch fire, there have been recalls about that.
