Get fucked, Elon lol
EVs are not more likely to catch on fire than gasoline/diesel vehicles.

And think about it. In a gasoline car, you literally have a tank filled with highly flammable and explosive liquid. The exploding EVs myth is a marketing ploy by oil companies to discourage EV adoption.
idk about EVs but Teslas have put on some dazzing displays of molten lithium
From the MotorTrend article:
According to MSB data, there are nearly 611,000 EVs and hybrids in Sweden as of 2022. With an average of 16 EV and hybrid fires per year, there’s a 1 in 38,000 chance of fire. There are a total of roughly 4.4 million gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles in Sweden, with an average of 3,384 fires per year, for a 1 in 1,300 chance of fire. That means gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles are 29 times more likely to catch fire than EVs and hybrids.
Tesla, being the largest EV brand, is included in this statistic.
that may be true but most vehicles don’t turn into volcanos when they do fail, Teslas do
