Faraday Future says the fire was not caused by the battery, but the damage was enough to make the building dangerous to reoccupy.

A Faraday Future prototype at the startup automaker's Los Angeles headquarters caught fire Sunday morning and exploded.

• The blast damaged the building, leading the fire department to mark it unsafe to reenter until structural work was done to reinforce it.

• Faraday Future said the prototype's battery was not the cause, and no injuries were reported.

Faraday Future has had an unusual history since first unveiling its FF 91 electric SUV in 2016. The company has been plagued with financial troubles, has only produced the FF 91 in limited quantities since 2023 and delivered them to B-list celebrities, and is now pivoting to rebadged Chinese minivans with a giant screen in place of a grille. Now, an old prototype at the automaker's Los Angeles headquarters caught fire Sunday morning, causing an explosion that destroyed part of the building, as reported by TechCrunch.

The fire was reported to the Los Angeles Fire Department at 4:37 a.m., and the fire was put out within 40 minutes, with no injuries reported. However, the explosion damaged the building that housed the prototype, a small two-story building next to the main headquarters. The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety deemed the damage bad enough to "red tag" the structure, meaning it will require construction work before people can safely reenter.
