17 times more fire related fatalities than the Pinto.

I like EV's; I drive my brothers Model 3 a lot. The CyberTruck is terrible though.

EV's as whole are more than 50 times less likely to burst into flames than gas cars.

That is not limited to cyber truck, is it?

I read there are a lot of other Tesla fatalities too: https://www.tesladeaths.com/

The above post was limited to the CyberTruck.

There are about 4.5 million Teslas in the USA. https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold
647 deaths in Teslas works out to about 1 out of 7000 Teslas killing someone.

Depending on the source, a gas or hybrid car is 30 to 100 times more likely to catch fire than an EV. https://insideevs.com/news/561549/study-evs-smallest-fire-risk/

The EV fires tend to make the news as they rarely burst into flames and are so difficult to put out.
