These batteries will only catch fire in case of:
-intense Charging: not the case here
-high discharge: not the case here either as it was parked
-when there is a short circuit.
For the last point, you can have the short circuit in the battery (very rare unless it got physically damaged) or wherever plus and minus touch. And that's when the fire can start somewhere else than the battery compartment.
From experience, a short circuit of two wires on high powered batteries is like arc welding. Anything near it will burn in a few seconds, or become red hot (metal).
(I once shorted a heavy duty LiPo battery by mistake when repairing the cabling, and had my workbench on fire in a few seconds )
It could also just be a lit sigaret left behind in the car...😉
This said, I ordered my 45e two weeks ago, so I hope they find the cause and solve it (if it needs solving) before my car is delivered in April next year 🤞 (if you order now, delivery is not before July 2020 !!)
