The problem is the cars, not the batteries. Tesla doors don’t work when the power is cut, and you have to know the manual backup method, and people die of smoke inhalation because they panic and don’t know.
You’re confusing cause & effect. The EV batteries catch fire, and then they get stuck in them due to system failures.
From what I’ve read, part of the problem there is that Tesla cut corners by tying all of the systems together on a single bus. It causes unrelated systems to suffer a cascade of failures during incidents.

EV batteries are still a problem: https://www.wired.com/story/ev-battery-fires-explained/
The cause is bad design. There are plenty of cars using batteries with the same or very similar chemistry that don’t catch fire.
Which car company invented an EV battery that doesn’t catch fire? Someone would’ve won a Nobel prize for that.
Every other one. Unless you mean when they’re damaged. All batteries can catch fire when damaged, that’s just the nature of concentrating energy.
And I hope I don’t need to tell you what can happen to fuel in an accident.
So what are you saying is the bad battery design in Tesla batteries specifically?
