To date, there had been 393 verified fires worldwide, the EV Firesafe database (as at Sept 14), includes 74 incidents that are being investigated and 21 that have not been verified.
A 2020 Tesla internal report (not verified independently) suggested there was one Tesla fire for every 205 million miles (330 million kilometres) travelled.
But what is terrifying and shocking is that a Tesla EV caught fire while it was parked in Puchong, Selangor, on Monday.
Without the EV being used and motionless, it also caught fire.
