Speaking of failure rates, surprisingly nobody`s mentioned here
that it`s not the first time this has happened to a Tesla battery
in Aus. There was this fire at another end of the country in 2021:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-30/tesla-battery-fire-moorabool-geelong/1003
37488

That fire has been investigated and found to be most likely caused
a coolant leak, which created a short-circuit even though the
battery was "offline":
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-28/fire-at-tesla-giant-battery-project-near-
geelong-investigation/100496688

A later report is here:
https://victorianbigbattery.com.au/2022/01/31/independent-report-released/

Except they`ve impressively managed to break the PDF download link
there already, so it`s here:

wp-content/uploads/2022/12/VBB-Fire-Independent-Report-of-Technical-Findings.pdf


"The origin of the fire was MP-1 and the most likely root cause of 
 the fire was a leak within the liquid cooling system of MP-1 
 causing arcing in the power electronics of the Megapack`s battery 
 modules. This resulted in heating of the battery module`s 
 lithium-ion cells that led to a propagating thermal runaway event 
 and the fire."
