I brought up the same point last week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6703967) and the Model S appears to be 25x more likely to catch on fire: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6704111

Do you care to show your work for this 25x assertion?

Right now your link goes to someone else making that claim with no source and no work shown.

I ran the numbers in a previous thread and got numbers that contradict their claim. There's a car fire roughly every 3 minutes (rounding down; it's actually a bit over 3 minutes). In the 500-something days since the Tesla has been released, there have been a total of 3 fires.

If you want more fun, run the traffic fatality rates since June 22, 2012. Tesla is currently sitting at zero (it would be highly unrealistic to expect that to last).
