The Fort Worth Fire Department responded to a car dealership after multiple vehicles caught on fire on Friday evening. The fire was reported around 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9.
There were at least eight electric vehicles at Frank Kent Cadillac that sustained "extensive damage," and two others that were exposed to the flames, FWPD said in a statement to WFAA. It the highest number of electric vehicles on fire at once that Fort Worth fire has battled, officials said.

This seems like kind of an important detail:

The fire started on a single vehicle and spread to the other cars, officials said.

It's not that common
Will be less common when they move to future battery tech

They’re a ticking time bomb, metal fires are no joke, death trap in a bad accident.

Sodium ion.
That said, as money people are dying in EV fires as high school athletes died from taking the Covid shot.

They must be dead since they put those blankets over the remains

Yep. The other problem with those battery fires is you can't just smother them, it's a chemical reaction that doesn't need outside oxygen. They hit them with water to cool them, and it takes crazy amounts of water.
Then they need to monitor for a couple days, in case a cell deep inside the pack starts up again. The LiFePo4 type are safer, but aren't as energy dense.

I'm sensing a plot for a horror movie, The cybercab gives a few cute teens a lift, then immolates them while they are stuck in traffic on I35 with the doors locked

Dealer couldn’t sell them. Insurance will help him break even.
