Tesla fires are very few and far between - they've been selling the Model S since 2012 and if there was a real, rather than an imagined problem, it would have surfaced by now.
I'm no fan of Tesla as a company - too much apple-esqu hype and bollocks - but the fire thing is not an issue.
Best to wait a few years before jumping on the Electric Wagon, though. Many more models from proper car manufacturers are on the way.
In 10+ years time, my daily Golf will no doubt be replaced by an electric car. Hopefully I'll not have broken the S2000 by then, so it'll remain.

the Model 3 is ****ing hideous
anything else pure electric is either that dull Nissan, Korean bargain basement stuff or a potential nightmare Jag..
or a 40k Honda with 100 mile range

This.
My Nephew who is a firefighter told me the Texas fire authority have told them on no account tackle an electric car fire unless there is danger to life. lithium batteries burn like magnesium, and it doesn't take much to set them off. Bit like Concorde and the metal on the runway.
