A Tesla Cybertruck rented from Turo exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday killing one person and injuring seven others.
The case which is under investigation for a possible terrorist act was contained by the Tesla Cybertruck which withheld the strength of the explosive from causing any damage in the hotel.
Las Vegas police thanked Elon Musk for providing footage from the Tesla charging stations and also revealed how it was locked before the explosion occurred.

“I have to thank Elon Musk specifically. He gave us quite a bit of additional information in regards to how the vehicle was locked after it exploded.. as well as being able to capture all the video from the Tesla charging stations across the country.” said the police.
Elon Musk praised the strength of the Cybertruck saying that it directed the explosion upwards not causing damage even to the hotel’s lobby.
“The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.” said Elon Musk
The Wednesday incident has been linked to that of New Orleans where a vehicle rammed into a crowd killing ten people. The electric Ford had also been rented from Turo as per report.
