It was the morning of January 1st, 2025, already beginning a new year with a bang (literally). Wednesday morning was when a parked Tesla Cyber Truck suddenly exploded, bursting into flames right in front of the entrance of Trump’s International Hotel located in Las Vegas. The truck was packed with fireworks, fuel, and gas tanks which would explain the main cause of the explosion.

It is known that a suspect was killed inside the vehicle in an instant due to the explosion. Several others were reported injured after the incident. Media footage had been released revealing the moment the vehicle went up into flames after the driver ignited the explosion while further damaging the entrance of the Trump Hotel. There had been additional footage released where the flames engulfing the truck were extinguished with water and images including the aftermath of the explosion with equipment in the trunk being burnt.

Some items that were found after the explosion were a handgun, firearm, fireworks, military ID, passport, credit cards, and a phone and smartwatch.
