One person was reportedly killed and seven others were injured in the accident.
According to local media such as the New York Post, a Tesla Cybertruck parked in front of the entrance to the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas suddenly exploded and burst into flames at around 8:40 a.m. that day.
Nearby CCTV footage showed shattered glass, metal boards and other debris flying in all directions.
In addition, the hotel entrance and other vehicles parked nearby were also damaged.
Police said at least seven people were injured in the blast, and the driver of the Cybertruck was killed. The vehicle turned out to be a rental car.
Investigation authorities, including the FBI, are looking into the connection to terrorism.
Earlier on the same day, dozens of casualties were caused by a rush of a pickup truck in central New Orleans, Louisiana.
U.S. President Biden"Investigators are investigating possible links between the two cases" he said.
However, the head of the investigation said "We have yet to find a connection between the two cases. However, we are not ruling anything out.'
Tesla CEO Elon Musk cautiously expressed a terrorist connection to the Cybertruck explosion, saying it has nothing to do with the vehicle itself.
