      Scale? There have been a lot of tesla cars driving for years. Last I heard, electric cars in general, and also teslas specifically, are a lot less likely to burn.

      Without some usable numbers the counts above seem worthless to me.

        Truth is the Ford Pinto was kind of hard targeted. They were roughly on par with similar vehicles at the time, certainly not the worst offender. Very similar to how tesla is being targeted.

        ^bet anyone that downvotes won’t even do a bare minimum Wikipedia read of the Pinto issue^
