Depends on the alloy, some versions melt at 1220 deg F. However it loses structural strength and deform much lower temps.

Either way the burning batteries would melt the old fashion aluminum aircraft as well as this new one.

I’m thinking that the lower melting point of the carbon fiber fuselage is another risk altogether.
