It's easy enough for things not to catch flame when they're being used properly; the real test is how things behave when other things are going wrong.
That's not to say that this means all Tesla cars are fiery death-traps of doom. Just that the sample size really is the number of crashed cars.
That's ridiculous.
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after take-off in January
1986. Subsequent investigation determined that the cause was failure of
the O-ring seals used to isolate the fuel supply from burning gases.....
NASA staff had analysed the data on the relation between ambient
temperature and number of O-ring failures (out of 6), but they had
excluded observations where no O-rings failed, believing that they were
uninformative. Unfortunately, those observations had occurred when the
launch temperature was relatively warm (65-80 degF).
http://www.datavis.ca/gallery/missed.phpLet's look at this question "how bad will that fire be for persons and property involved?"
You look at your 12 crashes where fire occurs, so (e.g.) 6 crashes. Of 6 crashes 3 were accompanied with injuries. All 3 crashes that were accompanied by electrical fires and injuries occurred was when the car's speed was between (e.g.) 40mph and 50mph. Does that mean when the speed is not between 40mph and 50mph, people won't be injured when there's a crash and a fire? It means nothing like that but it's too easy to make a wrong conclusion; you're skipping all the other data where injuries and/or fires happen independently of crashes.
