With the more details that come out, looks more and more like a spectacular suicide with some sort of political message in there. Even a green beret comms guy isn't likely to think fireworks and a gas can will cause serious damage inside a truck that's known to be super strong.

Kind of makes you wonder if he left a bigger "Fuque You" lying around somewhere...

Indeed. This guy gives a decent summary of some of the emerging tech in the area.
Fires are weird. You’d be amazed what comes out in surprisingly good shape.
The outer coating of a human is prone to easy and significant damage in fire, unfortunately.

all types of documents survive completely burnt out vehicles in consoles and glove boxes literally every day.

It should be easy to pull dental records to verify his identity.
Maybe I've read too many J. C. Pollock novels, but it wouldn't surprise me if the suspect was actually murdered and dumped somewhere ("Lot of holes in the desert...") and a terror cell suicide bomber used his identity.

This has got to be the one of the strangest attacks ever. It makes no sense to me.
It only has to make sense to one person - the one who did it.

Yeah- something went badly sideways with his mental health recently it looks like. Some of that screed about Chinese gravitic drones is a complete lost grasp of reality.
I also read that his wife left him in December because he was cheating. Maybe a trigger event there.
Unfortunately he also radicalized to some extent, and his other purported manifesto, if in fact that’s being truthfully presented, includes some call to political violence. I’m glad nobody else got seriously hurt.

If the Associated Press is correct, a wide range of stuff covered in the writings (also archived here) ....
apnews.com
A few highlights from the AP piece:
For the record, this appears to be the text of one email sent to a buddy of the guy in question (source) and seems to be getting used by at least one MSM outlet as a source.
And a bit of "what happens next" re: the email:

Soldier who blew up Tesla at Trump hotel left note saying blast was to be a 'wake up call' for US
A highly decorated Army soldier who fatally shot himself just before an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas left a note saying it was a stunt to serve as “wake up call” for the country’s ills.

Where is your evidence of radicalization? Any mention in MSM of the manifesto called for political unity and warned of violence if the country kept being divided, which is a pretty solid take considering we had 2 assassination attempts on a presidential candidate last year...

Your facts are getting in the way of my 9/11 hijacker passport type conspiracy.
Las Vegas police released several notes that he authored. This one in particular is what underlies my statement that he radicalized.
On its own this would be “ok, another guy saying silly stuff online”. But he followed it up with a suicide bombing, so I feel comfortable describing it as radicalization.
The other longer one I saw yesterday is this:
This is more conventional and I would not describe him as radicalized just based on that.
The really wacky one was the email he sent a few people on the 31st:
This dude turned really unwell at some point and had some clear mental health issues. Some degree of violent ideological radicalization happened too, but he took himself out before taking it to the point of seriously harming others.
It’s a sad story. I read he had started getting mental health care through the military. I have to wonder how much earlier he was shooting up flares that are more obvious in hindsight.

If the first note was real it'd be a headline on every MSM new article. They only refer to the contents of the 2nd note and now that email is getting its rounds after Shawn Ryan show posted it (great 1 hour listen).
