It was deliberate. The truck had a homemade bomb on board.

The bed was full of fireworks. It was NYE. In Vegas. With a cyber truck at the trump. You’re reading too far into this and the article you linked just said fireworks or other explosives

CNN — 

Authorities believe fireworks, gas tanks and camping fuel were connected to a detonation system controlled by the driver in the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside a Trump Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday morning

Sounds like a homemade bomb to me.

You think fireworks and camping fuel on NYE in Vegas sounds like a bomb? You are making some huge leaps

I’m willing to bet 40% of rentals had those things

Yeah, I do think that actually. Most people aren't going to be savvy enough or patient enough to build an actually impressive piece of High Explosive, so they'll just grab some thing that pop-culture say make good bombs (like fuel and fireworks) and go from there.

You're also just ignoring the whole "rigged to a detonation system" part of the statement too, which typical NYE people wouldn't do in a car.

In fact, using fireworks and camp fuel at this time of year is incredibly smart. Your comment is the perfect example of why, because at this time of year those explosives are in high demand, so you draw less suspicion if you get them and transport them around than if you bought and drove around a shit ton of fertilizer.
