When the media first started talking about the explosion of the Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas, they termed it a “fire” in an electric vehicle.
But from the start it was an explosion, not just a fire. It was called into the police because people were hearing explosions.

Now, after a further briefing by the authorities in Las Vegas, we getting more information. First, we can thank the great construction of the vehicle for why more people weren’t hurt or hurt more severely. The police said most of the force of the explosion went up rather than, out and toward the people and the hotel.
So the benefit of a well-made vehicle from Tesla.
But there’s more.
One of the law enforcement officials said they knew immediately that they had “a much larger event than simply a vehicle fire.” Then he explained what they found in the back of the vehicle including fuel canisters and large firework mortars.
Wow, that’s a ton of stuff to create a huge explosion, they’re truly lucky there weren’t more people hurt more severely.
The official said there was a “name” floating out there but he wasn’t going to confirm anything yet. They said they traced the truck which was rented in Colorado.
The FBI official gave an interesting take. They’ve already said they’re investigating it as a possible terrorist attack. The mortars and gas canisters might be a good indication of that.
He said they were looking to see if they had the proper identification of the suspect. He said they’re still looking into determining if it’s terrorism, he believed it was an isolated incident, and he didn’t believe there was any other danger to the community.
Elon Musk has a team also looking into it, and he already revealed it was from the fireworks/bomb, not a malfunction.
But seeing the sheer amount of stuff in the vehicle is something else and obviously meant to do a lot of damage.
