Driver of Tesla Cybertruck killed in explosion outside Trump Las Vegas hotel is ID’d as Army vet Matthew Livelsberger
The driver of the Tesla Cybertruck who was killed when the vehicle blew up outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as a Colorado resident and Army veteran.
Law enforcement sources confirmed to The Post that Matthew Livelsberger, 37, rented the electric pickup truck that went up in flames New Year’s Day in the valet area of the hotel.
Livelsberger was behind the wheel of the Tesla truck, which was packed with fireworks-style mortars, camping fuel and canisters, during the explosion, News5 reported early Thursday, citing law enforcement sources.
Livelsberger has several addresses in Colorado Springs, at least one of which was swarmed by the feds late Wednesday, KTNV reported.
The dramatic explosion outside the Vegas Trump hotel is being investigated by the FBI as a possible act of terror.
The driver of the Tesla was killed in the blast and at least seven bystanders suffered minor injuries.
It occurred hours after Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, carried out a terror attack in New Orleans early Wednesday, killing at least 15 people when he rammed his rented pickup truck through crowds along Bourbon Street.
The vehicles in both the New Orleans attack and the Trump Las Vegas hotel Tesla explosion were rented using the app Turo, officials have said.
Livelsberger, like Jabbar, had served in the Army, according to Denver7.
