Cybertruck burned down in LA wildfires

[Crissa]

Roger that, this one looks like it has been hit with a steam roller...I don't get it, unless the photo is faked. I get the melted plastic but twisted stainless steel from heat?

Wildfires burn at thousands of degrees in the wind and turn even cinderblock and brick to ash.

Wow! That was crazy hot, I will say once the tires catch fire the vehicle is a goner.

With the winds blowing it was basically an open "forge" in that area. Metal that does not melt away becomes "plastic".

The one that exploded was in better shape

Hi heat warps steel. From the Twin Towers to the Cybertruck.

Welp, better save this photo for later ... as we know this will 100% be used down to the road to "showcase" that the truck randomly burned down an entire structure own its own.

That's true. It likely started the wildfire. Spontaneous combustion I suppose!!

We didn’t start the fire

It was always burning

Just watched a live news broadcast, and they were in the driveway of a burned out home with an undistinguishable burned out vehicle in the driveway, and it was surrounded by a pool of melted aluminum. It had cooled on the concrete, and the reporter picked up a portion of it to demonstrate. HOT HOT HOT

I was a firefighter for 32 years and saw lots of melted aluminum.

This likely wasn't the only Cybertruck casualty in the LA wildfires

What’s the twitter account you follow me with? I’d like to block you. ??

Ummm 100% not true.

First, wildland fires burn between 1112f and 1832f. Not 1000s of degrees.

Second, cinderblocks do not burn and certainly do not turn to "ash". Cinderblocks are used for fire blocks. They don't burn. But they do have a "melting point" of around 1630c, or 2966f. Way beyond the heat of any wildland fire.

Fun fact: Most Fire departments' burn buildings are made of... yes you got it... cinderblock.

Sorry to hear that! I assure you that this thread is not meant to minimize loss of property or life. I think it kind of makes sense to post a CT on the CTOC in connection to the fires, no?

Hoping the best for your acquaintances!

This is truly unimaginable and heartbreaking. I have friends who have lost everything—homes worth over $6 million, their treasured art collections, jewelry, money in safes, irreplaceable family heirlooms, cars—everything, gone.

To make matters worse, they didn’t have fire insurance and still owe the bank millions on their mortgage.

I will do everything I can to help. It’s absolutely devastating, especially knowing this could have been prevented.
