Simple to do: go in, say "I'll be back", drive path you scoped out.

Isn’t that from a movie?

I'm glad this has turned out to NOT be a Cybertruck problem.
I'm glad the damage was minimal and the injuries will be recovered from quickly.
I'm glad this is coming out publicly show that the Cybertruck is good and not bad.
I'm glad that another attacker (in whatever form) has not gotten away with it (justice/motive/etc would have been preferred).

This really sucks that it is happening at all much less how frequently we are seeing attacks.

Just catching up to all the news...yes..I had a loooong NYE .
Has anything been said or implied about the person killed in the truck? Really hoping it wasn't some valet who is just trying make a living

Apparently the driver pulled up and never got out of the vehicle.

Haven't seen who or why yet.

At least nobody is going to want to park next to us for these next couple weeks..

There are a few unanswered questions here in that as an intentional act, it seems more like a suicide statement rather than a attack meant to hurt other people. Otherwise possibly a botched attack that was triggered prematurely?

The combination of accelerants seems somewhat haphazard.

The point is it doesn't seem well executed, from the choice of vehicle (it's meant to withstand 9mm rounds, has tracking and they had to bring their own fuel) to the location and as others of said, they could of driven it inside etc.

Seems more like someone has lost the plot and chose many things poorly and it wasn't a "professional" job.

Not necessarily in this case, but the number one skill to have as a contract killer is the ability to guarantee that a completed job looks like gross negligence and incompetence in the eyes of the laymen.

You know, kind of like the assassination of Princess Diana.

Hell of a vehicle! Proud to own it and grateful to Telsa for making it. All accounts from the police is that if it wasn't a cybertruck the human and property damage would have been much worse.

Sometimes knowing what it isn’t aids in knowing what it is.

This truck seriously ate that explosion for breakfast. VERY impressive!

Puts real perspective on that crash with those teenagers a few weeks back.

It’s like this person believed all the FUD and instead of using an ICE vehicle which would’ve been devastating, he was literally hoisted by his own petard!

 

[Cyber Man]

Even the tailgate didn’t blow away. That thing can cause some serious damage if it shoots away like a projectile! Totally impressed! Just wow!

Not all professionals are smart, and it looks like whoever planned this came from the far, far left side of the isle. So, I wouldn't expect them to be very smart in the first place.

This wasn't a "Cybertruck Explosion" in the sense people take it when they see the title. Thread name needs to be changed to be less FUD'y.

Actual news here:

Holy moly! Again, it’s not often that you can say somebody was hoisted by their own petard as a literal statement of fact!
