Model S fires could be compared to Nissan Leaf fires, as they're both electric cars. Although Leaf is sold massively more than the Model S (Leaf is the most produced electric car in history).

The leaf sold 6375 during the same period (us only).
I think Teslas number was global sales. But still Leaf out sold teslas the last quarter in the US.
