Sure, non-EV vehicles have a higher chance of combustion during a crash, but that combustion is significantly shorter and easier to control than an electric vehicle that burns.
Likewise, all of the electric doors on a Tesla are prone to staying locked during a battery failure (e.g. when the battery is on fire). There is a manual release but it's tricky to get at, especially for a person who's just been in an accident, and the heat and speed of an EV fire leads to drivers and passengers being roasted alive.
Basically the comment above, that poor build quality for Tesla's results in people being locked in during spontaneous combustions (something EVs are more prone to doing - fires that aren't linked to accidents) holds water and isn't misinformation.
I hate Musk’s labor practices as much as the next guy, but no need to spread misinformation
