At the current rate of horrible fiery deaths, FuelArc projects the Cybertruck will have 14.52 fatalities per 100,000 units — far eclipsing the Pinto's 0.85. (In absolute terms, FuelArc found, 27 Pinto drivers died in fires, while five Cybertruck drivers have suffered the same fate, at least so far.)

Leaking fuel is generally a bad thing. It may not hit the differential but let's say the exhaust or muffler is banged up and pointed downwards -- still gonna have a nasty fire
