## Narrative
On January 3, 2022, at approximately 7:30pm we plugged our car into a dedicated 240v outlet that was installed by a licensed electrician and permitted by the city of Menlo Park.  At approximately 8:30pm the charge was interrupted and then started again (per Tesla's records).  We heard a couple of small noises and then a louder noise at 8:38pm.  We opened the garage door and saw a large flame where the charging cord plugs into the outlet.
