A shocking incident unfolded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas when a Tesla Cybertruck exploded, causing one fatality and injuring seven individuals, officials confirmed. The blaze prompted an FBI investigation to ascertain if the explosion was a terrorist act.

The incident bears chilling similarities to a truck attack in New Orleans, where a vehicle plowed into crowds on New Year's Day. Eyewitness footage captured the violent explosion at the Las Vegas hotel, where flames engulfed the vehicle parked just outside.

While Tesla's CEO Elon Musk clarified that the Cybertruck itself wasn't at fault, as fireworks or a possible bomb were determined to be the explosion's cause, the investigation remains ongoing. Both vehicles involved in the respective attacks had been rented through Turo, raising further complexities in the dual investigations.
