In a shocking incident on New Year’s Day, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, resulting in one fatality and seven injuries.

The vehicle, reportedly carrying fireworks-style mortars, detonated near the hotel’s entrance around 8:40 a.m. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, while seven bystanders sustained minor injuries.

Authorities, including the FBI, are investigating the explosion as a potential act of terrorism, especially in light of a similar attack in New Orleans earlier that day.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that the company’s senior team is actively investigating the unprecedented incident.

The Trump Organization expressed gratitude for the swift response of emergency services and emphasized the safety of their guests and staff.
