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.,

It's not about hate, it's about fact. When an EV catches fire it is nearly impossible to put out. Just google EV fires and you will see. The most recommended method is let it burn.
