Those seats don't look like Lucid seats, do they?
Hard to tell.

Went to the FB page, wheels definitely look like 21” Lucid wheels. Oh no!

Apparently it was on a truck. YIKES.

Definitely a DE

Uh oh....

What are the odds the transported caught on fire first?

 

[Electrified]

Looks like it was a spectacular fire!

This is concerning to me as I store 11 cars and a very large tractor in the same structure. Am I going to have to build a separate garage just for an EV in case it catches on fire?

First we need to find out what the facts are.

Most likely the car hauler caught on fire first, and it spread out across the payload.
Looking at the picture, the rear wheel of the trailer might be a culprit.
It happens more often than one might think.

Five vehicles were destroyed and a sixth damaged when a car hauler caught on fire Wednesday morning.

I would expect transported cars was insured.

Proof of the car sitting in a dumpster! They really did have to drown it to get the battery to not reignite.

Anecdotal evidence that trailers can catch fire from a blowout more often than you think?

Would be interesting to see how experts diagnose what caused this when so much is melted and gone.

Just say a bolt was on the transport as well

You're right., it is not the same one, and it did not involve Lucid cars in any shape and form.
It is just an example of another car hauler that caught on fire recently.
Just wanted to point out that things like this do happen.
I know about this particular one because my in-laws live in the area.

Looks like it was near a Burger King drive through, wonder if it was in a trailer for delivery soon? Anyone in our forum from MA expecting delivery of a DE?
