LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill held a press convention Wednesday after the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck. Mcmahill thanked Elon Musk for temporarily helping police.
Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk announced that the electric vehicle company will refurbish the Cybertruck that exploded earlier this week and get it back on the road.
The unique Tesla vehicle retained its signature structure, and it remained highly recognizable even after the chimney extinguished the exterior of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
“The battery pack never even caught fire and the tires are still inflated! Once we get this Cybertruck back to Tesla, we’ll buff out the scratches and get it back on the road,” Musk wrote in a post on X.

When someone warned that Musk was joking, the Business Titan said he was serious about repairing the Cybertruck.
“No, yes,” he replied.
Musk said the explosion was not similar to the Cybertruck, noting, “All vehicle telemetry came back positive at the time of the explosion. “
Speaking about the evidence after the explosion, the Sheriff of the Metropolitan Police Department of Las Vefuel, Kevin McMahill, said that “those are fuel boats, are, EH, camp fuel and deaths by fireworks. “

McMahill said most of the blast traveled “up through the truck and out,” limiting the damage to the area of the explosion. He noted that the doors of the hotel, which the truck was parked near, had not even been broken.
“The Cybertruck is the worst choice imaginable for a car bomb, as its stainless metal armor will involve the largest explosion of any advertising vehicle,” Musk noted in a tweet.
