A Tesla Model S plaid caught fire under strange circumstances

One flaw electric cars have which doesn't afflict internal combustion-powered vehicles. To get a gas-fueled car to catch fire you have to light a match (or detonate a bomb as in Scarface (1983)).
I'm not against electric vehicles, but I'm not convinced they are ready for mass usage. Compelling the public to use them won't get them any sooner to being ready for mass usage, either.

The Pintos liked to blow up when someone ran into them.
No match required.

That's right!! I had totally forgotten about the Ford Pintos.
Ford Pintos caught fire when someone crashed into them, and the prototype driverless cars crash into people. Both were head scratchers.

I wonder if its due to the battery like the article suggests.

Good be. There have been cases of cell phones blowing up. Might be along the same lines but on a bigger scale.

There are dangers with any vehicles. I once slipped off my bicycle seat and smashed my cajones on the bar. I think I would have rather been blown up in a car at the time!
