Statistically similar to regular vehicle fires. Of course, this is new technology which means major media interest (read hysteria) and WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!.

As for the 787 Easybake Airliner - Heh

#5 The media is so weird.

They are all alather about green technology panting after every environmentally friendly save us from global warming gizmo. And then when something like this happens...they blast the news everywhere as if it is a major problem with Teslas exploding like napalm. If you aren't paying attention to the news, you would think it was several fires when it has been TWO.
