It often feels like EV fires make major headlines while ICE vehicle fires go under reported despite being order of magnitude more likely and common. Nice to see an ICE vehicle fire actually making media headlines for a change.

No. I stand by my point there… As far as I know, there has never been any data that pointed in the direction of EVs being anything but a much lower fire hazard than ICEs. If you had other numbers I’d gladly accept those but it seems you don’t do maybe you should just consider that your impression is wrong.
Failure rate for mandatory tests refers to a lot of things, most of which aren’t immediate hazards and all of which don’t refer to the high voltage battery fire probabilities. It’s a terrible sign that tesla fails these, but this has nothing to do with batteries spontaneously igniting.
Dude… It’s just data that hasn’t been prepared in a way you’d like it. That doesn’t mean there’s a conspiracy going on.
Oh for fucks sake, an ice car burning a couple of cables because of overheating in the engine compartment is not comparative to an EV battery catching fire.
You are comparing apples and oranges.
