My assessment of this footage is that the effect is well beyond what a battery failure would do and well below what real explosives would do. Probably an amateur Wile-E-Coyote pile of fireworks and other explode-y looking things that the perp thought would add up to a real bomb.
Liberals then, not muslims like NO. Muslims actually know how to build a truck bomb.
definitely fireworks, you can see green and red secondary explosions. Additionally, a battery fire would not be an abrupt pop like we see in the video, it would have a steady build up.
Apart from the fireworks, it mostly looks like it's some sort of fuel that would mostly just ignite, not something that would explode. It looks more fireball than actual explosion, ya know?
Shows a lack of understanding of the fundamentals of how explosives work. They had all the right ingredients, but nothing to create pressure
I can't see because of the smoke but it seems because of that, the damage apart from the hood and roof blown off, is very localised to the car, like hardly reaching the entrance.
"Cybertruck body panels are so strong that it contained the retarded suicide bomber's blast and protected all the bystanders."
It would amuse me greatly if some radical leftist turned himself into a Tesla marketing point.
VW had the same idea years ago. How fast things can change.
The almighty TSA anticipated the terrorist plans.
This turned out to actually be what happened, https://x.com/america/status/1874615729179546106
Any kind of actual explosives would have turned that truck inside out. The windows are in tact because there was no pressure wave because there were no high explosives involved. I cannot believe the state of news media.
To their credit, they are basically right. There was no real pressure wave, because these weren't high explosives, so the explosion did just break the windows of the car and go through available spaces rather than eviscerating the vehicle.
The trunk cover on a cybertruck only holds 300 lbs. The side panels could have been anything and it still would have mostly blown upwards.
You can also see from the slow motion footage that the fireball blows into the cabin, out the open drivers window, and down around the wheel wells. Plus fireworks continue to explode outside the vehicle.
This was a pretty weak explosion.
One death (the driver) and minor injuries reported.

Has Bardfin posted anything in the past hours?
I know the Supermoderator “MaxwellHill” has been quiet for a few months…
Looks like someone was just about to walk outside the door on the right when it blew, very lucky they didn't if thats the case.
If Israel was able to blowup a bunch of pagers all at once, what is the chance all Teslas explode at the same time?
The pagers exploded with lethal effect because they had commercial grade high explosives planted inside them at the factory, which israel controlled. Lithium batteries can over heat, burst, and and produce significant flames, but it's nothing compared to real explosives. There is security footage of some of the pagers detonating and you can compare them to lithium battery explosions that occur in vapes and cell phones on occasion.
If you had the power to hack EVs, the most dangerous thing you could do would probably be to disable them all during rushour. Every single road in the country would be blocked simultaneously with many secondary effects and likely mass panic.
However, it is unlikely that israel would do this. While they do have a penchant for false flag attacks, the enemies they wish to blame are not technologically sophisticated so a mass cyber attack would not be believable. Further, the response to a mass cyber attack would probably be more isolationism, rooting out saboteurs, security audits of everything - not something israel wants their hosts to do.
