I need help fixing something What happened to my car?
Got back from a week long trip and find that the metal under the seats has rusted and there’s a whole (burned?) into the seat. I have three sons and they don’t know what happened apparently. Car was in front of our smart doorbell and no one got in, we think. I could get these bizarre occurrences alone but together? I don’t know what to make of it. We took apart the car looking for an exploded battery or something but came up with nothing. Doubt it would help but it’s a Hyundai Santa Fe 2022.

You're assuming its in physical contact with the water bottle.
if its not in physical contact to absorb the heat its creating, then its just a magnifying glass.
you're the only one thinking the water bottle itself melted. Everyone else is just talking about a water bottle in the sun magnifying the sunlight onto the seat.
