Something isn’t right -
Those lithium ion batteries burn EXTREMELY hot, no doubt about it. And yes, probably hot enough to melt glass.. BUT - the area where that heat is high enough with a battery that size is relatively small - and doubtful to be hot enough to heat the windshield from the distance of the seat. Something else must have caught fire that also burned hot. There HAS to be more to the story - and I would suspect it has something to do with why the owner was not willing to file a complaint/lawsuit against Apple.
The passenger seat and floor caught fire. It was sitting on the seat. The materials in the seat are flammable at the right temperature I guess. The whole passenger seat was on fire when I found the car. The whole interior was flooded with smoke.
The car owner is the business owner who does a lot if business indirectly with Apple. It might be a win a little/lose A LOT if he sued Apple. I’ll figure out how to upload the picture tonight. It is worth seeing.
