A Tesla truck explodes in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

On New Year’s Day, a Tesla Cybertruck caught fire in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, USA, resulting in the death of one driver and injuring seven others nearby, according to local reports.

Reports indicate that around 8:40 AM, the Tesla Cybertruck parked in the valet parking area in front of the Las Vegas Trump Hotel entrance suddenly exploded and was engulfed in flames.

This accident occurred just a few hours after a pickup truck rammed through crowds in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, causing multiple casualties.

Authorities have not found any evidence linking the two incidents but are investigating the possibility of terrorism as they examine the cause of the explosion.
