The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.

It's like this European commercial. https://youtu.be/WUtE3QlTpKI

I'm glad it failed, but they will try again.

They figured the people would think it to be normal if it was a Tesla with a bomb.

It looks like we’re done talking about H1B visas for awhile.

Not only did it fail, all the pyrotechnics and flamibles failed to set the batteries on fire.

Quite a testimonial for the fire resistance of the cybertruck.

The video at X is very revealing.

Tesla is a super car. The features are way ahead of all others.

[central_va]

Tesla is a super car for super fools.

Terrorists: Looks like we picked the wrong week to give up making gas powered vehicles explode.

[Apparatchik]

This is a clear shot at both Trump and Musk. Fortunately, the driver is no more, and much worse carnage and destruction was avoided. The political message is often more important to the terrorists than the potential bloodshed.

The Ted Kennedy ad in the National Lampoon probably sold more VWs. https://www.volksfolks.org/forums/general-discussion/ted-kennedy-vw-ad/

Maybe, but incident illustrates they’re still not sending their brightest.

Who owned the truck? Was it stolen? When McVeigh blew up the federal building in OKC they had the vin number by that afternoon and knew who’d rented it.

Just as importantly, how did the bombers vote? Can we blame Bidog for this?

[3RIVRS]

Reminds me of that banned VW commercial.

[OnAMission]

Impressive, but I'm not sure it handled the explosion any better than regular gas powered pick up would. Honestly if the goal was to do damage to the building the guy suicided himself for nothing.

He is awarded no virgins.

So, then: Is Musk going to make a commercial to eclipse the notorious VW one?

"all the pyrotechnics and flammables failed to set the batteries on fire."

Yes! The flames are the wrong color, but the blame Elon crowd won't get it.

[Jonty30]

The structure of the truck might have been fine, on another truck, but the glass shattering in all directions could have resulted in some injuries.

[GOPJ]

Hollywood portrays terrorist as smart but I’m guessing more are like this terrorist - - evil and stupid. Musk is right on this one.

“This is a clear shot at both Trump and Musk. Fortunately, the driver is no more, and much worse carnage and destruction was avoided. The political message is often more important to the terrorists than the potential bloodshed.”

Yes, the political message is those plotting against Trump and Musk are incompetent fools.

[scouter]

I’m thinking the main point of the Tesla attack wasn’t the damage it would cause as much as the message it would send. A car symbolizing Musk blowing up at a hotel symbolizing Trump. The message can’t be any clearer.
