Probably best if you never cross the street as a pedestrian either, as your chances of being hit by a car are far higher than your chances of experiencing a car fire... .
I haven't seen any stats of, say, Tesla vs. other premium brand's ICEs, and it is possible the orders of magnitude LESS EV vs. ICE is due to ICE fires from neglected maintenance/repair, while Tesla EV fires were on relatively new cars with zero known issues.

And we do know many other premium brands take proactive steps on battery protection/enclosure that Tesla lacks.
