(MENAFN- Live Mint) A shocking explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's Day has left authorities searching for answers about the events leading up to the deadly incident.
Matthew Livelsberger , a Green Beret with a 19-year military career, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after detonating the Cybertruck , which exploded seconds after he shot himself inside the vehicle.

The two had not been in touch for years after a painful breakup in 2021 but reconnected before the New Year.
According to Arritt, Livelsberger's texts were filled with playful enthusiasm, as if he was showcasing a new toy. In a message sent at 9 a.m. on Sunday, he excitedly wrote,“I rented a Tesla Cybertruck . It's the s***.” He continued to send photos and music videos of the vehicle, texting her, "I feel like Batman or Halo," followed by more images of the Cybertruck throughout the day.

When Arritt asked about the Cybertruck 's speed, Livelsberger responded:“Ungodly.”
