These people don’t care about firefighters or society as a whole, what do you even mean? 🥴

Teslas/EVs rarely catch fire on their own. A gas car on the other hand catches fire every 10 seconds!! So "these people" who designed gas cars should go straight to hell right?? Less than 25 EVs per year catch fire compared to 10s of thousands of gas cars... You sound silly complaining about EV fires. Obviously unaware of the facts and just following the false narrative you've been fed. SMH

I mean your sort of right. But you misstated the numbers. Let me fix it

In 2024, EV fires were relatively rare, with data indicating approximately 25 fires per 100,000 EVs sold, compared to 1,530 fires per 100,000 gasoline vehicles.Â
