Sad :) but it happens to cars as well.
Really weird. The interior totally burnt out yet the fuel carrying parts are ok. Batteries or does this plane have oxygen generators like airliners or another oxygen source which can catch fire? That is the only thing I can imagine which could cause something like that in a cabin. And this has happened a lot with airliners too with defective oxygen generators.

Unlikely.
Lead Acid Batteries are in the back under the baggage compartment floor.
Anyway it will be interesting to see how Cirrus’ propaganda machine will deal with this mishap.
Technically oxygen is not flammable but it makes flammable materials easy to catch fire. Any mix containing more than 40% of oxygen practically have the same potential for supporting fire as pure oxygen.

Someone was smoking with O2 on?
Or just playing with matches?

Sorry, couldn’t resist! :)
It would be interesting to see the results of the investigation.
This happened at my home airport and the local rumor mill talks of a bleed air issue on the right side. How realistic that is I don’t know and that’s all I’ve heard so far.
That’s a lot of avionics gone up in smoke

Possible but I would be surprised if a bleed air leak could cause a fire on the ramp like that. If so it would indicate a design flaw.
Could be a tablet/phone plugged charging under the heat but it is a Cirrus Jet so lot to keep pilots imagination going on untill the report comes out

Well, will there be one? Is the NTSB involved in this? Not sure if a ground incident like this would warrant a full inquiry, even tough I think it would be very productive to have one.

Do you know if this happened while the engine was running and someone on board or did it happen while it was parked? That would be an interesting starting point for an investigation.
Bleed air fault would be very scary indeed if it can have such consequences. If that proves true, I would not be surprised if the Vision Jet would face another grounding. In any case, it better be made clear if what ever happened here can happen in the air as well…
