The question is can they survive when their cars catch on fire at an alarming rate? https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/hundreds-cars-burn-byd-fire-130025851.html
And they say batteries aren't to blame, because you know car seats, electric motors, and body panels are known for just randomly catching fire. It obviously wasn't the batteries /s

Even the article you linked states that there is no definitive evidence on the source of the fire. BYD claims a contractor mishandled equipment and ignited insulation material, which sparked the greater incident. Others speculate that a faulty battery was the source of the fire. Nobody is talking about body panels... and a faulty electric motor definitely *can* start a fire. Nobody knows for certain yet, so I don't know why you're painting such a strong narrative... other than to antagonize BYD with sensationalism.
