Yep, I’ve never come across a gas powered vehicle burning down on the side of the road. 😊

So, just driving by they know it's a "battery operated truck", there is nobody around but the truck is in the middle of nowhere...

I'm not saying it's the certainly the cause, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a company truck and that was staged by the guys who video taped this.

The guy in the passenger seat looked like he was wearing fire gear?? Plus I agree how would you know that quickly it was a BEV when driving by it while it was burning on the highway?
kind of weird!

Who would leave an expensive truck abandoned in the middle of nowhere? How did that person abandon it? Did they walk through the snowy forest on foot? Did they get a ride but couldn't push the Ford Assistance button to get a tow even though all Fords come with 3 years of free roadside assistance?

If the fire just started, the owner would still be there right? Do these guys want us to believe that an abandoned Lightning spontaneously caught fire sometime after being abandoned in the middle of nowhere?

Insurance fraud? Who knows, nothing adds up.

Yea, this looks completely staged. Probably a salvaged Lightning these guys acquired and decided to have some fun.

I can't see how it can quickly be ID'd as a Lightning before they can clearly see the grill ?
