At 8:40 am on January 1, 2025, a Tesla electric pickup truck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, killing one person in the car and injuring seven people near the vehicle. The accident caused widespread concern. Witnesses said the explosion occurred when the back of the vehicle first produced a strong flash and sparks, followed by a violent explosion. The location of the accident, near the Trump Hotel in New York City, coincided with New Year's celebrations, and nearby fireworks may have further exacerbated the effect of the explosion.

美国时间2025年1月1日8时40分,一辆特斯拉电动皮卡在位于美国内华达州拉斯维加斯的特朗普酒店门前发生爆炸,造成车内1人死亡,车辆附近7人受轻伤。 事故引起了广泛关注。目击者表示,爆炸发生时,车辆的后部先是产生了强烈的闪光和火花,随后发生了剧烈的爆炸。事故地点位于纽约市,靠近特朗普大酒店,事发时恰逢新年庆祝活动,附近的烟花爆竹可能进一步加剧了爆炸的效果。


Tesla founder Elon Musk later responded to the incident via social media, saying that the explosion had nothing to do with the Tesla vehicle itself. He pointed out that after a preliminary investigation, the explosion was caused by the owner of the car may have stored flammable items in the car, especially fireworks, resulting in an accident. In addition, Musk stressed that Tesla's battery system has been proven safe after several years of testing, and similar incidents are very rare.

特斯拉创始人埃隆·马斯克随后通过社交媒体回应此事,表示爆炸与特斯拉电动车本身无关。他指出,经过初步调查,爆炸是由于车主可能在车内存放了易燃物品,尤其是烟花,导致发生了意外。此外,马斯克强调,特斯拉的电池系统在经历过数年的测试后被证明是安全的,类似事件非常罕见。

Police are also involved in the investigation, the initial cause of the explosion may be other fuel in the car or human factors, rather than battery problems. However, Tesla's battery system has also been the focus of public discussion several times due to its fire risk. Despite this, Musk insisted that the battery itself did not cause the accident, and the investigation into the accident is still ongoing.

警方也介入调查,初步认为爆炸的起因可能是车内的其他可燃物或人为因素,而不是电池问题。然而,特斯拉的电池系统也因其火灾风险曾多次成为公众讨论的焦点。尽管如此,马斯克坚称电池本身并未导致此次事故,事故调查仍在进行中。

The incident has sparked widespread debate about the safety of electric vehicles, vehicle regulations and emergency response in the event of an accident.
