I wouldnt say unacceptably high. The tesla model S that caught fire ran over a steel rod and punched a hole in the battery pack. Find me a car that wont catch fire if its gas tank is hit with a steel rod driving at 40 mph? Idk what happened with that 918, but im making an assumption its an isolated icident, until otherwise investigated.

its still fine, only since there have been a larger amount of electric vehicles on the market some of them are subject to disaster. How many cars blew up and caught fire around their introduction into the market in mass quantities in the 1900's?
