On the car, some had mentioned corrosion, but that doesn't make sense to me, that it would corrode to the point the water could great to the lithium in a day or two. Something else happened.

Purely guessing like maybe the car had been in an accident and the batteries were damaged, but it was just parked and ignored. I am fairly certain Tesla will want to do a complete analysis and figure out a way to improve the situation.

And I am cynical enough not to rule out it was deliberately set on fire. There is a lot of hate around right now.,

But "cynical enough" to consider "it was deliberately set on fire" versus catching fire due to being in a flooded area? Seems like folks that advocate for "science" refuse to acknowledge it when it does not fit their narrative. Just my opinion.
