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.
