Over a million combustion engine (it’s right there in the name!) car fires per year & thousands of deaths, but one Tesla car fire with no injuries gets biggest headlines. Why the double standard? This is a real question.

Reality is a Tesla, like most electric cars, is over 500% *less* likely to catch fire than combustion engine cars, which carry massive amounts of highly flammable fuel. Why is this never mentioned?

Hey self-proclaimed genius: There's *no such thing* as 500% less.

500/100 is just an improper fraction. It's still a valid ratio.

@elonmusk Any car has small risk of fire but any way you look at it electric & Tesla cars are safer compared 2 gasoline cars.

What percentage of luxury cars <5 years old catch fire? And WTF is "500% less"? Aren't you supposed to be some kind of pseudo engineer?

Thank you. Anyone who understands probabilities or statistics should laugh heartily when someone says X is 500% less likely than Y. Lies, damn lies, and [Elon Musk's] statistics.
