A Cybertruck that exploded outside the front doors of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
The $80,000 car - made by Trump ally Elon Musk's company Tesla - was seen in a fiery blaze outside the front revolving doors of the hotel, killing one and injuring seven around 9am, according to Las Vegas police.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill said police are treating the explosion as an act of terror, alongside the New Orleans event, which saw electric vehicle driver Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, kill 15 pedestrians and injure dozens more.
He said: 'With the event that occurred [in New Orleans], and the victims there, and the additional IEDs, so as you can imagine, with an explosion here on our iconic Las Vegas Boulevard, we are taking all of the precautions that we need to take to keep the community safe.'
The FBI is also investigating the Vegas event - while Elon Musk confirmed that his company is looking into the fatal ordeal.
Billionaire EV enthusiast Musk, who has become a close friend to the incoming president, wrote: 'The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now We’ve never seen anything like this.'
The official cause of the explosion and fire is currently unknown, but an unidentified official briefed on the incident told ABC News it had a load of fireworks-style mortars inside the vehicle.
Police are working to determine if the driver, who died, intentionally set off the explosives.

More hate directed against peace loving conservative Americans.
He just happens to have a Muslimy sounding name.
Looks like the EVs are starting to attack.
“Let me guess. The perp was a U.S. born Army veteran from Texas with no known ties to Islamic terror cells.
He just happens to have a Muslimy sounding name. “
Pretty much
Oh and ten dollars says the FBI had him on their radar
I would think if this were a terror attack, he would’ve driven through the lobby doors before setting off the explosion. Looks to me more like a battery malfunction & the driver was an innocent victim.
But who knows these days...
Another EV used as a weapon.
Bring back the War Departmnent coz we are at war and there is noobody at the helm.
Being ignored on Fox......
That’s most likely the reason, by some butthurt commie pig upset over the election results.
More sons of Obama.
I have been watching Fox News and all they are talking about is the New Orleans terrorist attack. Not one mention of the Trump Hotel attack.
They can have only one news-orgasm at a time.....
Why do they even bother to reveal this? Do they not care they look like keystone cops when they do this? They knew about the terrorist, but did nothing.

Since speculation is free, I’ll speculate this was not the Aloha Snackbar crowd.
A Tesla on Trump named property, I think it may pure old American Marxists.
Aloha Snackbar likes to kill innocents.
Was the driver an innocent, or just suicidal?
In looking at the explosion it appears to be one big explosion followed by many smaller fireworks size explosions.
