Went to check the numbers and this site says the total number of Tesla deaths is higher(although not specifically from fires)

I think the takeaway from that site is that the self driving deaths really aren't that far behind the deaths from Tesla fires.
You are all getting portable incineration in car free of charge and you complain?! Some people are impossible to please!
It's more like ~3 pintos
Then Elon and Tesla dismiss any valid complaints and criticisms as "far left gay communist propaganda" just 'cause he thinks everything's politically motivated, 'cause he thinks everyone should agree everything he does and those who don't are the enemy just like fascists and (also) actual communists.
She's a 21st century pinto, oh yeah!

I dunno, I've heard a lot of jokes about Teslas exploding
They sure do seem to have a tendency to spontaneously combust.
I don't doubt that model Ys catch fire sometimes but the pic on the right looks like AI to me.
Yeah, that fire would be coming from the front storage space.
Looks like there's fire in the back too but the smoke is only coming from the side.
Because cover ups.
