Fwiw lion batts do NOT spontaneously combust.
Maybe the Frod trucks have been damaged when loading or deliberately so by EV haters,wouldnt be the first time.
Tesla batts dont burn even when shot by machine guns

There are numerous news videos of Tesla fires. The batteries may not have been the cause in all cases but the batteries definitely burned.
I have a Fire Chief friend and they hate using 6000 gallons of water to put them out.

"Body repair costs..."
You mean like when the aluminum F150s first came out?
You mean because the body panels can't be pounded back out, and have to be replaced?
You mean like when your fancy steel body truck gets a dent and you always demand that they replace the panel rather than just pounding it back out?
Putting 10-ply tires on half ton trucks since aught-four.

After reading through part of the fire video transcript (didn't bother watching it), "Uncle Tony" comes across as a low information conspiracy theorist who searches for "facts" to confirm his personal biases. Apparently that fire originated in a decade old diesel SUV. And that, in turn, apparently confirms that...modern EVs suck and are inherently unsafe and will kill us all. Yeah, I asked my German Shepherd to explain that and he couldn't either, but he suggested it might make sense if drunk. Then the Shepherd shocked me by uttering, "A statistical sample of one proves absolutely nothing." I'd suggest alternate activities to watching Uncle Tony videos, such as watching paint dry, shouting German obscenities at pigeons, painting secret coded messages on your toenails, etc.

Or perhaps "Uncle Tony" (how warm n' fuzzy) is simply using the common social influencer ploy. Say controversial things to get attention... generate attention... raise the online eyeball count... generate additional revenues... lather, rinse, repeat. Boring competence doesn't always sell well, but exciting gibberish can be a lucrative moneymaker on the InterTubes. See "Kardashian."
