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.
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.
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.
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.
