Tesla cybertruck explosion outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas could be terror attack

The driver, who was inside the truck when it caught fire, died in the incident and seven other people were injured.

Meanwhile, Tesla boss Elon Musk wrote on X: "We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. He acknowledged that "a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochere of Trump Las Vegas". Mary Lescano Paguada, 43, who was on holiday in Las Vegas from San Antonio, Texas, to celebrate the new year at the hotel, told Sky's US partner network NBC News she heard an explosion in the early morning.
