Embarrassing 'mistake' by Cybertruck bomber that hints at his state of mind hours before Las Vegas blast READ MORE: Abandoned $82,000 Cybertruck becomes tourist attraction By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 18:00, 3 January 2025 | Updated: 18:56, 3 January 2025 e-mail 15 View comments Despite a meticulously thought out suicide bomb plan, the route taken by the Cybertruck bomber from Colorado to Nevada hints at an embarrassing mistake. Law enforcement officials identified Matthew Livelsberger, 37, as the person who rented a Cybertruck, filled it with explosives and detonated it outside Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel on January 1.
Now, a map of the route he took from Denver to Las Vegas revealed that he not only drove four hours out of the way, but made a stop in Las Vegas, New Mexico . The strangely long and meandering journey has sparked speculations that he put the wrong destination into the GPS. The fastest route from Denver to Las Vegas, Nevada is via I-70 W and I-15 S, which would have taken a total driving time of 11 hours and eight minutes.
Instead, t he highly-decorated Army Special Forces Master Sergeant traveled I-25 S to I-40 W, which was 15 hours and 28 minutes. The map, created by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department of Nevada, also shows that he stopped to charge the Cybertruck eight times. According to Tesla, Cybertrucks can travel up to 325 miles on a single charge.
But the furthest distance Livelsberger drove between charges was only 148 mi.
