Musk announced Tesla's investigation into the Cybertruck fire in Las Vegas

Tesla is investigating the fire of an electric car Cybertruck in Las Vegas in the United States. This was announced on January 1 by American entrepreneur Ilon Musk.

"The entire Tesla management team is now investigating this case <...> We've never seen anything like it," he wrote on his page in the social network X (former Twitter).

Musk clarified that he would release information about the progress of the investigation as soon as it becomes available.

Earlier in the day, the Daily Mail reported that a Tesla Cybertruck electric car caught fire near US President-elect Donald Trump's tower in Las Vegas. Eyewitnesses also reported the sounds of explosions and the evacuation of the building. The Associated Press later reported that the incident left one person dead and seven injured.

Before that, on November 13, Tesla announced a recall of nearly 2.5 thousand Cybertruck pickup trucks due to a drive inverter malfunction that increases the risk of accidents. This recall was the sixth for the model in the previous year.
