I don't think the size of the vehicle matters, but where it's placed. A sufficiently large battery (e.g. something powering a warehouse) is unlikely to be right next to a bunch of important stuff, so they'll just let it burn out. A Tesla, however, is much more likely to be next to a bunch of other cars, so they need to contain it.
