I think that it’s only a growing and serious threat if they don’t
identify (and fix) the root cause(s) of the problem.
Many parts of this story are bleeding edge - some problems are to be
expected, as with anything else.
And...they better not name the next iteration “Pinto”!

No collision, no apparent cause; Tesla is reportedly investigating.
Negative Tesla incidents are reported widely, much more so than fires
and
collisionis in ICEVs, probably because the Tesla is novel and
distinctive.
Whether their numbers represent a greater or lesser percentage of cars
on
the road and/or miles driven, I can't say. Either way, I do think they
represent a serious and growing PR problem for Tesla.

Actor Mary McCormack has shared video of her husband´s Tesla car
catching
fire while in traffic in California. Flames can be seen shooting out
from
underneath the vehicle as it sits on the side of the road.
