Why do you want to limit by location when the the data is already separated by cause? All of the Tesla fires were caused by collision.
If you compare (Fires caused by collision)/Vehicles on the road, then I agree Tesla does not compare favorably. In principle, you should compare Fires/collision in case Tesla drivers have an abnormally high collision rate. And statistically speaking, it's pretty hard to draw a conclusion when your sample size is 3 fires.
But the fact is there are still no fires attributed to electrical or mechanical problems.
And the points on both sides about injuries/deaths from fires are pretty much red herrings since the numbers are already extremely low. There are only 2 deaths per 100 fires caused by collisions.
