It looks like an insurance scam for an older abandoned vehicle. The guy in the interview talked at 50 mph. He sounded like he was on something.

This is Hawaii. They don't leave old abandoned cars within view of the road. This is supposed to be the result of the grassfire portion of Hawaii's tragic fires.
Even a flame thrower wouldn't melt a car like this (details upthread) and the heat would have to be sustained long enough to melt glass. More than one flame thrower would be needed as the damage is relatively uniform all over the body of the car.
