Vehicle fire trends and patterns
Background info - see chart further down for the pct of vehicle fires caused by accidents/collisions.
Edit: To be clear, personally, I am not bothered by the rate of accident-related fire in Model S - whether it is 0.0002 or 0.00002 or 0.002 per car-year, it is a extremely rare thing. I take more risk riding my bike to work every morning. It is just interesting to see how this will play out in terms of public perception. Remember Audi's and Toyota's "unintended acceleration" publicity - those hurt the car sales very significantly, practically killed Audi in the US market back in the 1980s. Grossly unfair but it happened.
