A Cybertruck ‘blew up’ outside Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas

the fire was put out within an hour
How does that work? I thought that with electrical car battery fires, you basically just had to spray water to keep it cool until it was done with what it wanted to do.
Maybe they put the whole truck in an airtight container?
I think battery fires are self oxidising, you cannot suffocate them. The advice for small lithium cells for radio control toys was stand up wind, ideally have a steel bucket of sand to put it in.
Also discharge them completely as you can before disposal. The RC batteries had no protection so we could take them to zero volts
I saw some gizmo that was supposed to go under the car, puncture the battery compartment from the bottom, and then flood the whole thing with water which was supposed to put the battery out. I couldn’t tell if it was bullshit or not, though.
sounds like a really great idea either way.
Thats one option, but just because the battery caught fire doesn’t mean the entire battery pack is going to catch fire.
There are fire walls in the battery, so if you get to it in time, you could cool it off and prevent a breach of the next firewall, and then the fire will be stopped when those existing cells use all their energy.
Within an hour doesn’t seem unreasonable in that case if everything went right.
The battery didn’t caught fire in this case, it was undamaged.
Oh, I assumed the explosion caught the battery on fire. Why would it take an hour to put out then? Wouldn’t it just go out immediately once watered?
It wasn’t a battery fire is was a cargo fire.
Ahhhh
The mystery reveals.
It’s like the opposite of early-2000s games, where the car models had an ever-growing poly count but the fire was still an animated 2d sprite.
Where the fuck are mods…
Like holy fuck, all the comments blatantly ignore everything?

2 cars rented from the same company both used clearly for terror and all you got to say is “Roflmao! Just Tesla things!”
Fuck this place, worse than Guardian comment section. Yes I am angry and yes I do expect better. I found more civil comments on reddit.
Found the tesla owner
You know where the door is.
So do you think it’s funny that the Tesla self destructed, or do you think it’s funny someone blew it up?
I think it’s funny either way
Please report any rule breaking behaviour. We cannot see everything.
Where do you draw the line? How serious should this place be? I don’t want to report too much as well, you’re volunteering your own time and it’s ultimately your place… Like the comment below of someone finding someone blowing themselves up “funny”, is that acceptable?
Are people not allowed to find humor in whatever the fuck they want to?
Don’t care. Sounds like a problem for fascists.
So lets see, a recall every few months, do not allow them to ever get them wet, dont drive them offroad, you’re not allowed to sell them, and never use them to haul fireworks.
do not drive them through the mud or tow anything over a non-flat surface
Don’t feed them after midnight?
Canyonerooo-oooh yah!
Canyonerooo
The weirdest thing about a cybertruck bomb is that the world has become so shit that it’s not even interesting. Like, I just cannot care because every day something insane happens.
That’s the real fucking signal IMO.
I’m hoping the vehicle’s onboard camera views are released. Teslas have many cameras, including one watching the interior. They are all stored in the vehicle and unless all online activity is disabled are uploaded to Tesla for training the fleet and investigating failures
Tesla almost certainly know who owns or owned the vehicle and has video of whoever most recently drove it, possibly including view into the cargo area which seems to have been filled with a fire bomb
Teslas have many cameras, including one watching the interior.
“Honey, let’s fuck in the surveillance mobile.”
Tesla employees got in trouble years ago for sharing sexy videos their customers’ cars recorded
The car also uses the internal camera to tell if you’re watching the road. I understand that can be defeated by sunglasses.
They really are surveillance machines, and in Australia we can’t even take advantage of it to get cheap insurance if we’re good drivers
IntentionalRennaissance.
Someone tried to copycat the FBI building bomb from 1995.
Obviously not.
Heisenberg strikes again
My guess is it wasn’t random, that the vehicle was intended to damage or destroy the building but it went off early and they didn’t count on the vehicle being so resistant
It would have been pretty bad if it had been parked under the hotel and the battery had caught, but as it was the blast was directed up and into the cabin, and the fire was contained to the tray and the cabin leaving the battery safe
Heh. Nobody is as mad as a betrayed zealot
lol

Sounds like it’s full of fireworks.
Another article said it was full of firework like mortars. No real details past that ATM I don’t think.
Looks like it too, in the X video posted elsewhere in this thread.
Real Trumpster fire.
Just found this
Praise the cameraman.
Staying at the Trump Tower? Let’s not give them much praise.
