Correct this a bit and you find 3 per ~100 million miles driven on public highways. that is about ~3x worse than a regular car. 100 million miles is enough data points to be meaningful, but not exhaustive. Also, given these cars are new, the state-space of defects is likely less populated tha for the average car. Historical data show age as a factor in fires, and new cars are less likely than average-age cars to catch fire.
