I think the vehicle and the location was the person making some kind of point. I guess we'll find out in the coming days if he left some kind of record explaining what that was, besides rage.
Yes, you choose that building because of the Trump connection, and that vehicle because of the Musk connection to Trump. New Year's Day is symbolic as well.
And he used fireworks in his explosive mix. For an explosion on New Year's. Maybe he thought that was funny.

This is so funny, I was on the wikipedia page for that a few seconds ago. I was thinking about who this guy would be similar to, and he's the one who came to mind. My guess was white male in his 50's, and I wanted to see how old the guy in that one was. He was in his 60's.It reminded me of the man who deliberately blew up himself and his RV in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning in 2020.

Three people are injured in the blast and possible human remains are later found near the site.
Yeah, funny like Monopoly money found in the killers backpack who killed Unitedhealth's CEO. Not!
Exactly
Your question made me think of something. IF owners can track their cars what I'd find interesting is if they rented it, then drove it home to deal with the task the next day. That could be helpful in gaining more info if LE doesn't already have it.
It could also be that a fake ID was used. It wouldn't be the first time that's been done. Although... if the goal was a suicide mission... they wouldn't care if their name and other personal info was found out after the fact. In fact, they might even want that.I've used Turo to rent luxury cars for photoshoots, but not since 2019. According to the app, they verify your drivers license and photo. I see in the app that I'm approved to drive, so I assume this happened, but unfortunately I don't remember. I'm guessing this process isn't foolproof, but I'm also guessing that since this was apparently a suicide mission that LE knows the driver's identity.
ETA: posted 1 minute after @vls12345 posted MSM confirmation that LE knows the driver's identity.
It may also be the most convenient explosive to acquire. I am local here to Las Vegas and it’s very easy to stop by an indigenous firework store (on indigenous land) on the way here from Colorado and buy large mortar fireworks. It is not legal to shoot them off here in Vegas, but that doesn’t stop anyone and I don’t think this person cared about laws.
Question for you with local knowledge...It looks like he would have driven from Colorado via I-80 then I-15 and crossed into Nevada at Mesquite about 7:20 or 7:30 (I've seen both times stated). According to Google maps it would then be about an hour and 10 minutes to the hotel. That would suggest that it was the driver in the car and not the valet because there really would not be enough time to have the valet park and then bring the car back.
I lived on Oahu for 2 1/2 years and I actually lived less than a mile from where this incident took place. Driving distance a mile.. straight from my house to this house.. more like 1/4 mile. I spent 2 New Years Eve's there and I can tell you the amount of illegal fireworks being let off is unlike anything I've ever seen.. we'd climb up a hill near our house to watch and 360 degree around all directions fireworks.. all illegal being let off by anyone and everyone who had acquired them. How it's possible to get them I'll never know. People are broke but spend $1,000s and $10,000s on illegal fireworks. Such a tragedy and it seems it's usually the innocent who are harmed. I am curious about what fireworks were in this truck. It's sad that something mean for safe enjoyment can turn into literal bombs/projectiles in the wrong hands.
I have the same experience on the northwest edge of town in Las Vegas for the 4th of July. Illegal fireworks as far as the eye can see. They’re everywhere, hundreds at once, in all directions. Dangerous, but widespread.
I have not seen confirmation of exactly where in Colorado the Cybertruck was rented, have you? I go back and forth all the time from Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs.
