    For like 3 hours, it was glorious as my friend group wondered what part of the Cybertruck could have spontaneously combusted.

    Then video came out and there’s colorful lights and we still weren’t sure.

    It took a official report before we accepted it was a car bomb.

      All I read is the truck bed was filled with flammables. ’ Is there a believable source for

      A. Whether the driver started the fire or it was sparked on accident.

      B. If it was not intentional, what was the actual target?

      I’m still not sure if it was an intentional car bomb or if he was transporting fireworks to use later that night and something about the car set them off.

        A fully enclosed in non-air conditioned truck bed with a black lid in Las Vegas heat perhaps?

        Is still probably intentional, otherwise it’s one of the more epic Darwin Awards.

        Edit: Autocorrect stole my un from air conditioned.

        He was shot in the head prior to the explosion going off. Seems unlikely that sequence of events was accidental.
