There's definitely some "anomaly" that occurred to these vehicles. Melted aluminum indicates temperatures of 1250 degrees Fahrenheit and more. The solidified steam in the 2nd video that u/Merkava_4 posted indicates even higher temperatures. What caused it? It certainly wasn't from a brush fire. It was something else.
I wonder if anyone has traced air traffic above Luhaina during this time when the conflagration started? What about satellite and their positions. There has to be answers. Were there ships off the coast. Any military operations during that time?
Did we see any melted aluminum? The wheels seemed to be mainly intact. The stuff under the car that looked like metal that was liquid and then hardened, looked like solder to me. Maybe there's a lot of solder in a radiator.
On that 2nd video that u/Merkava_4 posted where I indicated there was "even higher temperatures" there were no rims left, but rather just a river of solidified metal. As far as the tires are concerned, the only remaining element of them were the wire weave.
You do realize that if a tire catches fire it can ignite a magnesium wheel and that wheel would be almost impossible to extinguish and would melt as was shown.
I'm not saying there wasn't, and still isn't, tons of fuckery going on with this event, but melted allow wheels is not a hill to die on.
I've seen more carbeques than I care to remember and wheels do indeed catch fire and melt like that with normal car fires.

This is a great idea. Any planefags in the house?

That sold me. I can see a tire catching and burning. Melting the wheel down to nothing? Nope.
