Considering you're six times more likely to have a car fire in a regular, petrol powered car, I find all this crap to be media bs playing on the public fear of something they know very little about. Remember the 458 Italia's.

You'd sooner be struck by lightning or die in a plane crash. In all incidents, it also shows that the passenger compartment isolated the fire pretty well. Yeah there's a learning curve as to how emergency workers respond, but that's like saying we shouldn't build tall buildings because fire fighters refuse to train for such situations.

Also, didn't the cars alert the drivers before it was life-threatening and tell them to pull over out of traffic safely? Major points there.
