Law enforcement sources confirmed to local news outlets that the electric vehicle was rented from Turo, the vehicle-sharing service that was also used in the New Orleans attack on the same day. There, suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar used the Turo app to rent an electric Ford pickup truck used in that attack in the early hours of New Year’s Day, which killed 15 and injured dozens more.

    That’s funny. Literally no one thought this was an attack. Everyone saw a cybrertruck and there was zero suspicion that it didn’t just do that on it’s own

          I only ever saw a picture of it on fire so this seemed kinda normal. Then my friend showed me the video of it actually exploding and it was pretty obvious they don’t normally explode like that.

          The explosion was kinda pretty, but sucks that it killed someone (I assume the valet person) Apparently just the driver died, but 7 other people were hurt.
