Rough day for my R1S... source: house fire, not vehicle

[WhisperPickle]

Updated with some details:

It looks like the house had a rough day as well. It must not be yours. I hope everybody is safe.

Sadly both my house and my R1S.

There’s not much to the story - unclear as to what caused the fire but it started in the house - had nothing to do with the vehicle - I was home alone and just made it out. The fire hadn’t spread to the outside of the house and my keys/wallet/phone were by back door and I tried to grab them but fire was too out of control by then.

By the time I got across the street to my neighbors and called 911 the fire spread to the carport and the roof of the Rivian was the first thing to catch fire.

But the vehicle categorically had nothing to do with the fire. I havent gotten my home charger installed and have been unable to charge it at home (hit a grounding error when I tried the wall charger).

Here’s some additional pics from today

Oh no!

 

[tate16t]

Oh wow. So sorry!

I see a BBQ grill on the left side of the photo. Most damage is confined to the left side of the house…….

On a positive note, the front passenger side tire looks recoverable.

Did the Rivian start the fire, or was it the victim of the fire?

Ouch… a bad day is a bit of an understatement.

Should we start taking over/under bets on how long before this thread is picked up by insideevs or jalopnik?

This is the question we urgently need an answer to before the internet starts making assumptions

The photo does not appear genuine to me. The Rivian is sitting way too low, the “car” has significant fire damage, but both front tires don’t burn?

 

[Ooloo Pebs]

Wow,..very sorry this happened to you! WTF happened??!!

 

[iansriv]

Hope everyone is ok.

So no context...? If it indeed is your car and home, then I hope for the best for your future. Otherwise... why would you drop this here with zero info... I know why, cause the internet...

We need answers op. How long did it take for the fire crews to put it out, where was the origin, what was the cause, did everyone make it out ok?
