A Tesla Cybertruck ignited into flames outside the Trump Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries. Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential terrorist act due to similarities with an earlier explosion linked to a potential explosive device found in a vehicle.
A Tesla Cybertruck caught fire outside the Trump Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday, killing one person and injuring several others, and news reports said it was being investigated as a possible terrorist act.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a press conference that a person was found dead inside the 2024 model-year Cybertruck and seven people sustained minor injuries from the explosion.“The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now,” he said in a post on X, adding, “We’ve never seen anything like this.”
McMahill said the Cybertruck pulled up to the Trump building at 8.40am local time. He said police were mindful of thethat had occurred in the early hours of Wednesday. The FBI said a potential explosive device was found in the vehicle used in that attack.“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.
Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organisation and a son of President-elect Donald Trump, posted about the incident on X. “Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochere of Trump Las Vegas,” he wrote. The US National Transportation Safety Board in 2024 opened an investigation into a crash and fire involving a Tesla electric semi-truck on a California highway.In an image acquired from social media vision shows a Tesla Cyber truck bursting into flames outside the entrance of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.Vehicle experts say electric vehicle fires burn differently than those in cars with internal combustion engines, often lasting longer and being harder to extinguish.
