Happy New Year 2025. If TSLA 2025 is anything like 2024, we will experience another wild ride.

I was thinking about buying in 22 at around 400. But with all these new engines coming out, I can't see them doing as well in the future.

A Tesla Cybertruck burst into flames Wednesday morning just outside the entrance of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing one person and injuring several others, according to local officials.

The Clark County Fire Department confirmed that it had responded to a vehicle fire in the valet area of the Trump International Hotel at approximately 8:40 a.m. local time.

In a news conference, Clark County Fire Department Deputy Chief Thomas Touchstone said that as first responders began to extinguish the fire, they "realized at the same time that there were multiple persons with injuries located around the vehicle."

Touchstone said seven people were injured, two of whom were transported to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas.

Touchstone said officials are working to recover the body from the Cybertruck. Officials asked that the public stay away from the scene for the time being.

The cause of the fire was not immediately clear.

In videos circulating online, sirens can be heard inside the lobby of the Trump International Hotel as the vehicle just outside the doors is seen engulfed in flames. One person on social media said they were near the front door when the vehicle exploded and were forced to leave their luggage by the door.

In a statement posted to X, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote: “The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now. Will post more information as soon as we learn anything. We’ve never seen anything like this.”

The FBI Las Vegas also said in a statement to NBC News that it “has personnel on scene to offer assistance to our local partners, who handled the initial response.”

In a statement from the Trump Organization, which was also shared by President-elect Donald Trump's son Eric Trump on X, the organization acknowledged that “a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas.”

“The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism,” the statement read.

The Trump International Hotel Las Vegas is owned by the Trump Organization and American businessman Phil Ruffin.

In videos of the lobby, loud blasts can be heard as the fire grows larger just beyond the entrance to the hotel, which is embossed with the letter "T" for Trump.

Mary Lescano Paguada, 43, who was on vacation in Las Vegas from San Antonio, Texas, to celebrate the new year at Trump International Hotel, told NBC News she heard an explosion in the early morning.

Initially, she didn't worry until she started seeing law enforcement responding the scene.

Paguada said once she and her husband reached he lobby, they heard screaming and were told by hotel staff to get out and "don't breathe the smoke. Don't stay."

She said they were not allowed to return to their rooms after they went downstairs in an attempt to get them to evacuate the area.

Social media posts showed smoke filling the air in the area around the building. Other videos taken from nearby hotels show first responders appearing to race to the scene of the fire.

Trump has tapped Musk to co-lead an advisory council, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), during his second administration, which aims to slash federal regulations and government spending. Musk, who is the world’s richest person, contributed $277 million to back Trump’s campaign and other GOP candidates, according to campaign finance records.

How about you waiting 30 seconds before posting news alerts and polluting the thread? It didn't take long to confirm it's a terrorist act, not an EV fire.

Rented on Turo? Probably BS as it came from Musk.
