Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Tower In Vegas Deemed A Terror Attack, Terrorists Picked The Wrong Truck To Fill With Explosives, Cybertruck Contained Blast

A Tesla Cybertruck that exploded in front of Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, killing one person and injuring seven others, contained gasoline and camp fuel containers, as well as large firework mortars, according to authorities.

Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a press conference on Wednesday that investigators know who rented the Cybertruck, which was acquired in Colorado, though they are not prepared to identify that person without 100% certainty.

McMahill also said investigators were able to trace the truck through Tesla charging stations. License plate readers in Las Vegas first detected the vehicle at about 7:30 a.m., and McMahill said it traveled up and down Las Vegas Boulevard before pulling into the Trump hotel valet area.

Within 15-20 seconds of pulling up to the hotel, the sheriff added, the vehicle exploded.

During the press conference, the sheriff showed a video of the truck bed, which showed it was filled with gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars.

But the sheriff also pointed to the exterior of the truck and how it was still completely intact after the explosion.

"The fact that this was a Cybertruck, really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out," McMahill said. "In fact, if you look on that video, you’ll see that the front glass doors at the Trump hotel were not even broken by the blast."
