From owner reports, verbatim

Both parties exited the vehicle when suddenly the vehicle burst in flames. The fire department extinguished the fire and a report was filed. The vehicle was towed and totaled. The dealer was informed about the incident. After investigating they were unable to determine the cause due to the state of the vehicle from the fire. The contact stated that they were no injuries or medical attention needed. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case regarding the matter. The approximate failure mileage was 250.
