Authorities are investigating the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck on Wednesday outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel as a possible act of terror. The FBI and ATF have expanded their search to Colorado Springs, Colorado. The vehicle was rented via the Turo app. It was tracked traveling from Colorado to Las Vegas before exploding at the hotel’s valet area, killing the driver and injuring seven bystanders. Authorities say the explosion was caused by fireworks-style mortars, gasoline cans, and camping fuel in the truck bed. Investigators are examining potential links between the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks, noting both involved trucks rented through the Turo app, but have not yet uncovered any connection. Authorities believe the explosion was isolated and found no evidence of additional threats or accomplices.
