One person killed in Tesla Cybertruck explosion near Trump hotel in Las Vegas
ai generated text
A Tesla Cybertruck caught fire and exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's Day. The incident resulted in the death of at least one person and injuries to seven others. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, with authorities not ruling out terrorism. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has stated that the explosion was unrelated to the Cybertruck itself. Surveillance footage shows a silver vehicle destroyed by a blast before being engulfed in flames. Some reports suggest that the truck may have been carrying a load of fireworks, but this has not been officially confirmed.
We're tracking the explosion of a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Law enforcement and the intelligence community are investigating this as well, including whether there's any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans.
Our number one goal is to ensure that we have the proper identification of the subject involved in this incident.
As you can imagine, with an explosion here on iconic Las Vegas Boulevard, we are taking all the precautions that we need to take to keep our community safe. We're looking for secondary devices.
It's a Tesla truck, and we know Elon Musk is working with President-elect Trump, and it's the Trump tower. So there's obviously things to be concerned about there and that's something we continue to look at.
Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas.
The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now. Will post more information as soon as we learn anything. We've never seen anything like this.
We are actively partnering with law enforcement authorities as they investigate both incidents. We do not believe that either renter involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat.
All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.
