      How many?

      Also, the bigger issue is not being able to escape the fire because you can’t find the manual releases. Pretty horrible death. Probably done that way to save a little bit of extra money to line Musk’s pockets.

        Probably every vehicle has some number of stupid deaths. I assume you don’t fly because Boeing fucked up. That’s way more than 83 people if just one plane crashes.

        It’s just way cooler to shit on Tesla though. Very trendy. Very cool.

        0.052% (232 / 443,956) fire rate.

        Comparison to Industry Average: For context, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports an average fire rate of 1.5 crashes per million miles for all vehicles. Tesla’s fire rate of 0.052% (based on the reported 232 fires) is significantly lower than this industry average.

        But it’s not very cool to do research that way shrug
