Authorities are investigating a Tesla Inc. Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel on Wednesday as a potential act of terror, including whether there’s any connection to a truck rampage in New Orleans that killed at least 15 people.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said a 2024 Cybertruck pulled up to the glass entrance doors of the Trump hotel and smoke then appeared from the vehicle before a large explosion.
