ABC News reports:
Authorities investigating the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck on Wednesday outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel have expanded their search for evidence to Colorado, federal sources have confirmed to ABC News, as law enforcement agencies probe the incident as a possible act of terror.
The FBI is conducting operations and searches in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in relation to the Cybertruck explosion, sources told ABC News, with the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
Law enforcement officials and sources said that the truck — which was rented via the Turo app — was picked up by license plate readers traveling from Colorado to Las Vegas on Wednesday morning. Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters that the truck was in front of the hotel for 15 to 20 seconds before it exploded.

A bomb went off in the Cybertruck’s bed and the tires didn’t pop/deflate, the exterior of the truck is intact, the bed door is still attached & the 1.4mm-1.8mm steel exterior (2x thicker vs normal trucks) helped contain the blast.
It’s the toughest & most badass truck ever made! https://t.co/LATz90Ra3F pic.twitter.com/ylncuKblUJ
