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?

Some surprisingly low end explosives for a decorated green beret guy with his level of access. Fireworks and petrol cans?

Duh the actual target was Terrorism.

Since that word had lost all meaning like I said it would once they stuck it to Luigi.

Terrorism lost it’s meaning in America long before Hero Luigi.

With military experience he’d know a little about fuel air explosives. Powerful fireworks are sufficient for making such a bomb, though they’re technically difficult (you need to trigger the second trigger explosion after the first has spread out the fuel enough to detonate)

I think he was expecting (in Marvin the Martian’s words) an earth shattering kaboom but didn’t do it right

Done right the amount of fuel would have done serious damage - all the energy released in the fire would have been released instantaneously, with a shock wave

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.

I actually, genuinely thought it was an accidental fire.

Speaks to the shit reputation those shit trucks deservedly have. But also how dumb of a location for an intentional fire.

See that’s the thing.

Is a trunk/bed full of fireworks and gas average cyber truck stupidity or a real lazy attempt at arson/terrorism.

I think it might have been more about the message a burning cybertruck, in front of a trump hotel, right by the trump sign, sends, than it was about the violence. Especially since the person is military trained and knew this wasn’t going to go all OKC federal building.

The Delorean fan in me loves the asthetic and used to get jealous.

Cyber trucks being POS deathtraps that basically fall to pieces when you breath on them, their inability to do anything a normal truck can do, and the fact they make you bleed touching an door alleviated that completely.

So thanks for making them embarrassing junkers, Elon.

I almost agree with you, but the subtle changes made from the concept to reality make it not even look cool like it could’ve

Certainly not for use case.

One was a sports car

One is (supposed to be) a pickup truck

But it’s clear to me what they were going for asthetically. There’s a bunch of people who already did BTTF prop time machine conversions.

That said, I wouldn’t buy a cyber truck because they’re poorly built, poorly engineered, and unsafe.

Gosh it missed the design mark so bad. It looks like a PlayStation 1 era car.

I get it as far as “they both have angles”.
But one actually looks like a car.
The cybertruck has everything up front. Like they designed something, then had to concede that people have to use it, tacked something on, and didn’t bother hiding it.
The delorian looks like it was designed with the fact there would be people in mind

That looks nothing like a DeLorean, except they are both stainless steel. The Cybercuck looks like someone took a three year old’s drawing and brought it to life.

I keep hearing that they keep falling apart and catching fire, yet no one links pictures. I have seen exactly one out of the 27 thousand that is claimed to have had a battery fire and looks like it did.
