Tesla's ignite far more than their contemporary ICE counterparts.

There are many on those charts with greater frequency of fires than teslas.
And to reiterate: ALL of this is negligible. A ram pickup is more than 2x more likely to catch on fire than a Tesla model X (according to your source). And I’m not afraid of driving a ram.

Adding onto this: this only counts non-crash fires (a tiny, cherry-picked subset of vehicle fires).

A RAM pickup is a small subset of FIAT models while 2 of 2 tesla vehicles that were eligible for this report are substantially higher than ICE to catch on fire.
Your claim that ICE catch on fire more often is total bullshit, tesla's are firebombs compared to aggregated ICE vehicles.

Can you explain your link? I’m looking at the ‘highest claim frequencies’ and the model S isn’t even on the list, and the X is behind the Jeep Renegade and just above the Jeep Cherokee and wrangler? (jfc I think Jeeps are the true firebombs here lol)

Just search for tesla, you'll find them. And yes, don't buy a jeep (or tesla)
