Analysis thread on fire:
One person on twitter says his father works with similar machines. Seems to think it'll likely be back up and running by end of night.
"My dad works in metallurgy and has worked with press machines similar to this before. 'Looks like steam or water vapor. Anything of substance would be black smoke. Could be hydraulic hose leaked on something hot. Nothing serious. Better safe than sorry.' "
"Considering black smoke at beginning, definitely metal on metal overheating leading to black smoke. Could’ve been a number of things, most commonly a failed cooling or press got caught and wasn’t able to abort prior to cast overheating."
Says they used sand to put out the fires because they likely didn't have the foam on hand which is what caused all the smoldering.
EDIT: Most recent tweet includes comment from Freemont Fire Department, "The cause of the fire is molten aluminum and hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid was identified as the source of the fire." -

I know resistor burn cause black smoke on circuit board, may be hydraulic oil, also due to a plastic hose burn. Most of the time a white smoke from steam/water vapor like from a leaking car radiator, rupture coolant hose.

I went electric right when ICE dealers and repair shops were offering house calls?
We've had two Tesla for three years and neither one has ever been serviced in a shop. My wife's charge port door broke last year and the service tech replaced it in our carport. Last week my trunk started only opening with the phone app or the center screen so tomorrow the mobile service tech is going to replace the trunk button as it sits in our carport. This will take me zero time out of my day and I won't need a loaner car.
I had no idea ICE repair network was even better than this now.

Hmmm, that machine is pretty new to be catching on fire - maybe Tesla was experimenting with over-clocking it. Damn the torpedoes! Full steam ahead!
It certainly is interesting trying to fulfill the dual rôles of Moderating and keeping this a family-friendly forum, so I'll take a stab thusly:
Based on his twitter comments, it appears that what Jack Shea knows corroborates the suspicion that the final two letters of his last name are NOT "ea".

One of my charge port pin deadfronts popped off earlier this week. Yesterday I took a photo and scheduled service without having to leave the Tesla app or speak to a human. Today, less than 24 hours later, a shiny Model S showed up and a friendly service tech replaced the pin in about 30 minutes.I went electric right when ICE dealers and repair shops were offering house calls?

In the interim, I approved the cost estimate ($0), was notified of the tech's arrival, and received the final invoice. Again all within the app.
Not sure it's possible to beat that level of service.
They better get that thing stamping again ASAP. I have stock to buy.
1. This vary greatly geographically.I went electric right when ICE dealers and repair shops were offering house calls?

2. It's not expected for regular people to even know what mobile service is, or how the car can diagnose itself without going to get it looked at. Regular Joe barely understand the concept of charging at home, or if a supercharging network even exist. Tesla doesn't exactly go out of their way to educate the masses because that requires lots of advertisement dollars. So they are just relying on word of mouth.
3. If I search for an auto mechanic, there are about 15 of them listed within a 5 mile radius, who are mostly available to handle any kind of emergencies. Mobile network on the other hand is booked about 3 weeks out in my location. Although convenient for some things, but not so much for others.
Slightly OT, but amusing and consistent with my personal experience..

it isn't that end of the number that has a psychological effect on the new investor. They don't go, "Oh look it is 600+." They go "TSLA has broken through 700 on its way to 800!!!!" I better buy now!"

Gordon Johnson told me that the Fremont fire was clearly caused by a lack of demand.
It was caused by peaked sales from q4 2018.

I don't think that's the reason. Tesla doesn't "educate the masses" because that would just create additional demand for their cars they can't meet. There is no benefit to educating the masses about their mobile service. They educate their customers about it because it saves them money and requires fewer service bays to service a given sized fleet.
Good old cnbs. Had to go through mentions of old fires and 2 days factory shut down tweet before finding the real reasons for the fire last two sentences in the article.
You can literally explain anything with that reasoning. "Tesla is not doing ___________ because it will cause too much demand they can't meet."
Well, let's look at the facts. Market share something Denmark competition broken growth story.
