Being a clever bastard with a gangster mindset, of course Putin would have been paranoid one way or the other, so that won't change much I think. But things like that happening - no matter if it will end up being explainable as a proper accident or a failed assassination attempt or whatever - tend to undermine the mythos of being invulnerable and always 3 steps ahead of the game, that people like Putin want to disseminate about themselves. That's my current hope in the political climate.

"However, media reports have confirmed that no one was injured."
Try harder.

Wow its dangerous in Russia. Exploding cars, people keep falling out windows, accidentally shooting themselves in the back of the head repeatedly then falling down elevator shafts. Someone should establish some safety programs.

I don't know if I buy that the people are rising up, but maybe some oligarch got tired of Putin for some reason? Or maybe the KGB doesn't like how slow the conquering of Ukraine is going.

The headline is mistaken. I checked out photos from the scene.
The limousine was authentic, some Auris or something - VIPs ride that sort of stuff. The place was nice, a few blocks from the FSB headquarters.
But there was no "tremendous explosion" - the car just burnt. Every house had its windows intact, the car itself had its windows intact while burning, etc.

First of all, this does not look like an assassination attempt. The engine caught fire. A Russian-made limousine.
There's no freedom of speech or poltical expression in Russia anymore. The state controls the media and the media control the narrative. This is the totalitarian approach. The disadvantage for Putin/Kreml is that they really don't know anymore how deep the resentment against them goes. And neither do we.
Of course the explanation will be that Ukrainian sympathisers did it, but I think it's easy to see that a Russian does not even have to be a Ukrainian sympathiser to want Putin dead.

My first thought. Maybe the Russian equivalent: president's billionaire buddy has a Russian luxury car factory propped up by government money, riddled with problems.

It would have been great if it was with Putin inside.
