There is a lot of energy stored in there, and it needs a lot careful charge/discharge management to prevent fires. I am surprised fires are not more common.
I was fiddling with a smaller new battery pack at work (non-Tesla) and it was very easy to get it smoking. The design of the individual batteries makes it pretty easy to create a short circuit. As a result we are implementing some new fire control procedures.
