In looking for other information I did run across this quote. Its in an article from Forbes, so take it with a grain of salt, but the quote isn’t from the author but from Tesla corporate. It doesn’t offer a complete picture, but its the closest to your question I’ve run across so far so I thought I’d share it:
“Tesla has reported that between 2012 and 2021 there was approximately one Tesla vehicle fire for every 210 million miles travelled. This includes fires that did not originate in the vehicle, like arson, structure fires etc. According to the National Fire Protection Association, the national average in the U.S. was one fire per 19 million miles travelled. This suggests Tesla’s EVs are 11 times less likely to catch fire than the average car,” Edmondson said." source
Now that is a better statistic. However, I would want to go one step further - every 100,000 vehicle miles.
