Recently, Tesla released a report that the fire accident rate of Tesla cars is much lower than the average fire rate of cars in the United States. The report shows that in the past decade, Tesla vehicles have driven an average of about 400 million kilometers before there will be a fire incident, which is 10 times lower than the average value of all cars in the United States.
And whether it's in terms of the average mileage of a car that catches fire, or the number of vehicles that catch fire at the same mileage, Tesla cars are much lower than the average of other cars in the United States.
Tesla's low fire accident rate may also indicate that Tesla is gradually becoming safer, and the safety level of electric vehicles is also improving.
1. 400 million kilometers or 1 fire 1 times lower than the average
Recently, Tesla released its vehicle fire data for 2012-2021. The data shows that under the same mileage, Tesla's fire accidents are decreasing.
Tesla said that in 2012-2021, about every 210 million miles (about 400 million kilometers) driven will there be a Tesla car fire accident (205 million miles (about 300 million kilometers) in 2012-2020). This shows that tesla's fire accident rate has improved compared with the previous year at a certain driving distance.
In addition, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPF) data also shows that the average vehicle fire in the United States is that for every 19 million miles (about 30.58 million kilometers) traveled, one car catches fire. It can be said that the ratio of Tesla fire probability and American vehicle fire probability is 11:1.

And it should be added that not all fires are caused by Tesla Motors themselves. The manufacturer's data shows that the causes of the Tesla fire also include fires, arson and other things that have nothing to do with the vehicle.

At the same time, in the new 2021 impact report, Tesla also disclosed another set of data. From 2012 to 2021, for every 1 billion miles (about 1.6 billion kilometers) driven by Tesla vehicles, there were about 5 fires, compared with an average of 53 vehicles nationwide.

And this is not only a victory for Tesla, but also a victory for electric vehicles overall.
Conclusion: Tesla's safety factor may be improving
In the early years, Tesla has been plagued by fire accidents, and some users have chosen to give up buying Tesla because of the impact of fire accidents, although Tesla has done a good job in intelligence and electrification.
Recently, Tesla has the courage to make the probability of fire and related mileage public, or will dispel the doubts of this part of the people, so that consumer groups realize that Tesla's safety factor has improved, and the safety of electric vehicles has improved. Perhaps, electric vehicles will gradually become the safest cars.
