Sort of...two Teslas caught on fire...I haven't heard of any other EVs spontaneously combusting.
Teslas are by far some of the most popular EVs. When someone thinks EV they think Tesla.
At least near me I see 10 teslas for every ID.4, taycan or ev6. Until someone else steps up their game tesla has quite the lead on sales thanks to their head start. Volkswagen is the only company making a fairly affordable EV that people actually want and that only states recently. EV6 could catch up but Kia dealers are almost universally shit here in the US.
Where I'm from. I see 50 ID4 for every Tesla, and that's being generous. The world is a bigger market than just the US.
