Wow, that's scary! I hope no one was hurt. Makes me think twice about parking my EV in valet areas. 🔥

Interesting how quickly this made headlines when it happened at a Trump property. Wonder if it would get the same coverage elsewhere...

Respectfully, the article feels a bit speculative before we have official confirmation about the vehicle make. Maybe wait for the fire department's report?

The Cybertruck's design is so futuristic but incidents like this make me nervous about new EV tech. Safety first! 🚗💨

Props to the fire department for quick response. EV fires are no joke - they burn hotter and longer than gas cars.

Was just at that hotel last month! The valet area is always packed. So glad this didn't turn into a bigger disaster.
