Gas doesn’t explode, that’s just in movies. It does burn though, just like batteries. Not a case for gas cars over EVs, but Tesla and their retracting door handles, or handles that don’t work without power (like from a fire), are definitely reasons why I wouldn’t choose Tesla over another EV.

Sorry for sensationalizing too much for you. My statement stands that I’m still safer in my Tesla than in another car.

Gas cars catch on fire more: https://electrek.co/2022/01/12/government-data-shows-gasoline-vehicles-are-significantly-more-prone-to-fires-than-evs/

Tesla doors work in the unlikely event they’ve lost power: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html
