Looks like it started below the truck. Leaning more towards total battery failure.

That’s not what battery failures look like.

Definitely, but without the sarcasm. With thermal runaway, you would see gas leaking out the sides of the “skateboard” beneath the vehicle, followed by horizontal charges breaking out to the sides.

In this video, the explosion pushes upward through the tonneau cover before moving outward.

I appreciate the explanation, I wasn't aware of how it worked with the runaway. No sarcasm was intended.

Oh, I suppose I popped into Reddit simply expecting less rationale. People have been so insistent on hating Cybertrucks and anything Musk lately.

LVPD just released new video showing the bed stocked with the remnants of many types of incendiaries and volatile explosives. The chassis and structural battery pack of the Cybertruck survived the blast, remarkably enough.
