After the explosion, Tesla owner Elon Musk quickly reacted on X, a social network he also owns. For him, “the evil morons chose the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack”. Then defending the solidity of his vehicle, he explains that “the Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Even the glass doors to the lobby were not broken.”
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.

Inside the vehicle were found “large fireworks mortars”according to Las Vegas police. The structure of the vehicle having moreover “permit to limit the damage”. Elon Musk had also explained, in a previous post, that it was the contents of the vehicle which had caused the explosion, which “is not linked to the vehicle itself”.
In Europe, the Tesla Cybertruck is not available for sale. If it is ultra resistant, it is this same resistance which slows down its availability according to BFMTV. Indeed, during an impact the bodywork of a vehicle deforms to absorb the shock, which is not the case with the Cybertruck whose bodywork remains rigid.
