Wanting to blow shit up in the desert would be an Occam’s razor explanation for having petrol cans and fireworks, and I could see a cybertruck guy being stupid enough to carry those things in a truck with an infamously electrified body. On that same tier I could see it being a spectacular suicide, like an obnoxious version of self-immolation with the most attention-grabbing vehicle he could rent.
