Great FUD. I'm a bit surprised that the statement was elevated to insightful as similar statements could be made concerning other car types:
It's only going to take one vehicle roll over before the public sours on SUVs.
It's only going to take one impact with a large vehicle before the public sours on compact cars.
The problem is not that an accident might occur that will sour the public impression. Problems like the one mentioned above have existed for decades and people are still buying the vehicles--case point spontaneous combustion due to parts generating too much heat. Automobile manufactures don't issue a recall until a problem becomes systemic which means that many instances of the problem have already occurred to individuals. Yet, others continue buying the cars and when the recall notice goes out, the problem gets fixed. Simply saying that a lithium battery will catch fire is nothing more than FUD.
