Tesla Inc (TSLA)

[boston745]

Why is it that Legacy auto has fewer EV combustion incidents over the last 2 years yet Tesla doesn't recall, particularly its Models S&X, which represent the bulk of its fires?

As Isidore noted, the Bolt, the only EV that GM is selling in North America, has been “tied to at least nine fires” since early 2020, and Hyundai’s vehicles were involved in about 15 fires. Meanwhile, three Teslas have burst into flames over the past four months.

My count on Tesla fires is 9 so far this year and 12 just in Q4 last year. Likely exceeding Hyundai and GM put together.
