The suspect in the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas was identified on Thursday by local outlets as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, a Colorado native.
Police have not officially named the suspect and an inquiry from Mediaite was not immediately returned. KOAA first reported Livelsberger’s name, citing local senior enforcement sources. Livelsberger reportedly lived in Colorado Springs, had multiple addresses tied to his name, and has a military background.
I’m sure that’s very reassuring to potential Cybertruck buyers
Musk, ever the fucking idiot, misunderstands the situation as usual.
The contents of the cybertruck wouldn’t have blown the doors off any car. It was fireworks and gas canisters. You’d get a hollywood explosion not a real one. Any real explosion would have demolished the vehicle (any vehicle) and left a sizeable crater.
…
Police responding said it would have at least broken windows if set off in a less rigid vehicle. The cargo compartment is a double skin of stainless steel thicker than the steel used in the shell of normal vehicles
So it’s designed to only harm the people inside? Seems accurate based on everything else I’ve read about it.
I don’t think explosions were part of the safety design. The only picture I have seen of a cybertruck after a battery fire showed the rear of the vehicle destroyed but the cabin intact
The shape and solidness suggest it’s much more dangerous to any vulnerable road users than to its occupants, just like every light truck used as an urban car
