Well, maybe they hadn't gotten around to putting it in yet? Supposedly the building was still under construction.

  You'd think fire regulations would need to be adhered to before production was allowed to start. Small businesses have endless compliance check ups for this type of thing and big fines if they don't have safety and fire suppression in order

    I suspect the machine itself was also under construction. Someone was probably doing tests on it when it caught fire due to some design issue (like the hydraulic hoses touching the pipes where the molten aluminium flows)

    Elon may be a visionary, but his disdain for regulations is well documented.
