Only 60,000 Cybertrucks have been sold. Not “half a million.”
While the total number of deaths from fire may seem insignificant to you, it is a far greater death rate than major auto manufacturers usually tolerate.
In the 1970s, Ford had to recall the Pinto over 27 deaths out of 1.5 million units sold. That’s 18 deaths per million units.
Cybertrucks are sitting at five known fire deaths per 60,000 units sold. That would be a ratio of 83 deaths per million units.
