Sure, but aside from how vanishingly rare that happening is (despite fossil fuel propaganda) I think the point here is to deflate the propaganda - “if it happens new car, no arguments” is a solid signal for anyone with a functioning brain that they’re confident they’ll never have to pay out

Cars burning is a problem that predates modern electric cars. But modern cars are uniquely problematic because metal fires are hard to extinguish.
