LAS VEGAS -- Authorities are investigating a Tesla Cybertruck explosion on Wednesday outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel in Nevada as a possible act of terror.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said it was investigating a fire at the entrance to the tower. The public was told to avoid the area, though the police noted the fire had been put out.

The driver pulled into the valet area of the hotel and the vehicle exploded, according to an official. The driver is apparently dead and, so far, the only casualty from the incident. Seven bystanders had minor injuries, authorities said.

Huh, the driver died.

A really weird start to the new year, maybe radical left cells are sending a message, but I will not cower.

Thank God no one else died.

I agree with the guy that the Cybertruck is ugly as sin, but I’m not blowing myself up over it.

Doesn’t make sense as Islamist terror, does make sense that it could be an American Leftist.

As it should be just in case. It can’t be ruled out yet and we need to know one way or the other...

From the article: “An official briefed on the probe told ABC News that the Tesla Cybertruck had a load of fireworks-style mortars onboard. Investigators are urgently working to determine a motive and whether the driver intended to set off an explosion and why.”

What, doesn't everyone keep at least a few fireworks-style mortars in the back seat? /s

Hard to understand what would ignite the pyrotechnics in the back seat unless intentional...

Thanks, very helpful. I’ll take Door #2, American leftist terrorist, may have meant to set it off remotely or by timer but made a mistake.

“Some are saying fireworks exploded. I’m not so sure”

Secondary little explosions a distance from the truck do look like fireworks. Nevada legally sells the good stuff, mortars, aerials and what not. No one would be suspicious for buying a big pile of them for NYE. Now why they didn’t legitimately go up in the air last night vs in front of Trumps Hotel is very suspicious.

If you watch the video, you’ll see one unlucky guy with his luggage, standing on the curb behind the truck. He appears to be thrown about 20 feet by the blast, so it’s miraculous if he only has minor injuries.
