Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

Do you think that every time a gas car gets on fire it makes it to the headlines? Have you heard about selection bias?

Just saying, ICE car fires aren't as dangerous as battery fires.

One burns faster, WAY hotter, and is harder to put out.

It burns much slower, not faster. That's why it can burn for so long. And it has to be put differently. It's like saying a grease fire is harder to put out because you can't pour water on it. You can easily put it out by covering it, tho, same as battery fires.

Ignites faster, is what I meant.

Also not many fire stations have the ability to put out electrical fires, so yes, it's harder to put out.

Ignites faster? A cigarette or just a static spark can Ignite gas fumes, you need to do pretty catastrophic damage to a pack for it to Ignite...

... Are you purposely being dense?

Light an ICE and EV vehicle on fire. See which one you can sit in the drivers seat longer for.

EV, because it burns slower
