What happened really?

The trunk/bed was full of fireworks and gasoline canisters and the whole thing went up. I haven't found anything on known motives.

We're still piecing it together.

But the driver was a veteran and the trunk of the Tesla was filled with fuel and fireworks. The car was rented.

There's speculation that it was related to another veteran who ran people over in New Orleans around the same time who had literal ISIS bumper stickers on his truck.
