Oh...so it turns out that cars full of highly combustible gasoline can catch fire in a crash and always have.

Of COURSE the Tesla can catch fire IF it's in a crash and an electric fire breaks out. Just like a "normal" car can catch fire from all the gasoline.

I'm betting that oil companies and Detroit car makers just love to put those pictures of a Tesla on fire up for everybody to go: "See, they suck"

I think Tesla is going to be okay.
