Las Vegas Police acknowledged Musk’s assistance with invaluable data from Tesla’s infrastructure.
Las Vegas Police expressed gratitude towards Elon Musk after the shocking explosion involving a rented Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel.
Musk’s aid came in the form of crucial information about the Cybertruck’s security mechanisms and video evidence from Tesla’s charging stations.
These insights have been pivotal in tracking the truck’s trajectory and uncovering the circumstances around the devastating event.
The calamity, which occurred early on New Year’s Day, claimed the life of the vehicle’s driver and injured seven others.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the identity of the deceased driver.
The Cybertruck, laden with gasoline and fireworks, led to suspicions of a deliberate act, prompting FBI inquiries into potential ties with terrorism.
Remarkably, the Cybertruck’s design effectively directed the explosion upwards, creating minimal external damage.
These structural features preserved the Trump Hotel’s glass front, although the truck was parked just feet away.
Elon Musk commented on the incident, asserting, “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.”
This particular build quality might have remarkably lessened what could have been more catastrophic devastation.
The explosion shocked many due to its proximity to the Trump Hotel, raising concerns about the driver’s intent.
Surveillance footage spotlighted the Cybertruck maneuvering through Las Vegas Boulevard prior to the explosion.
The vehicle, rented from Colorado via the Turo app, allegedly carried gasoline and fireworks, triggering the destructive blast.
Authorities continue to scrutinize possible links between this incident and a familiar Islamist attack in New Orleans mere hours prior to the Vegas explosion.
“I have to thank Elon Musk specifically,” said Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill, cited by Business Insider.
Interestingly, the Tesla Cybertruck has been the talk of the town for its futuristic design and durability.
Initially announced in 2019 with delayed releases, its construction boasts the same stainless-steel alloy as SpaceX’s rocket, rendering it virtually bulletproof.
Elon Musk clarified that the blast was rooted in fireworks or a bomb inside the truck bed, not attributing it to the vehicle’s fault.
The investigation continues with authorities examining if any connections to the New Orleans attack exist while working on confirming the driver’s identity.
Speculations indicate a military background for the vehicle’s operator. Both drivers involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans incidents held clean records, according to Turo, which is actively cooperating with authorities.
