A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day, leaving one person dead and seven others with minor injuries. The incident happened around 8:40 a.m. in the hotel’s valet area.
The driver, who was inside the truck at the time, tragically lost their life. Preliminary investigations suggest the Cybertruck may have been carrying fireworks or similar materials, but authorities are still piecing together exactly what happened. The FBI and Las Vegas police are treating this as a possible act of terrorism, though no conclusions have been drawn yet.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said his team is looking into the incident, while Eric Trump thanked emergency responders for their quick action. The explosion forced the temporary evacuation of the 64-story
hotel, a prominent landmark near the Las Vegas Strip.
The event has sparked fresh debate about the safety of electric vehicles, particularly Tesla’s futuristic Cybertruck, which has faced its share of controversy over design and safety features.
Authorities are asking the public to stay alert as they ramp up security in the area. More updates are expected as investigators dig deeper into the cause of this shocking incident.
