This is interesting, but I think it's lacking context regarding whether this is more or less than the number of fires that normal combustion engine cars are having, adjusted for the amount of those vehicles on the road. Gas cars can catch on fire too, although for different reasons of course, so I'm curious whether this is more than we'd expect of those.
Great work putting this together. Really highlights just how safe Tesla’s approach is to lithium batteries. Considering the number of cars, Powerwalls and mega packs out there I was expecting far more incidents.
They need an additional column to track which type of battery (lithium-nickel vs Lithium iron phosphate) as I believe the latter is beginning to ship in some models?
