Police said 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks were damaged. The owner parked the exotic cars in a parking lot in Fort Lauderdale.

In an apparent vendetta against Elon Musk, a vandal, or vandals spray-painted an expletive and his name — “F— Elon” — on the ostentatious electric trucks starting at over $80,000 each.

“It was just one row and then it was a second row, and then a third row and a fourth row,” Adam Docktor, who works nearby, said.

    The reason they stopped at 34 cybertrucks is because vandalizing any more would make it a federal crime. You can read up on this by googling “cybertruck rule 34”

    Apart from the painting, it’s interesting that Tesla needs to rent space to store Cybertrucks! Maybe it’s not selling so hot?

      I think they have a delivery hold on it right now for some issue they have to fix, again!

      Pretty normal for manufacturers dealers to rent unused lots if they don’t have enough space to store inventory. And Telsa doesn’t have dealerships with attached lots. They just have little showroom stores, and they need hubs to park inventory.

    Well if they can hold spray cans, they definitely have wrists, so I suggest the justice system give them a good hard slap if they get caught.

    Edit: I wonder- am I pissing off Cybertruck lovers or people who think this deserves a harsh punishment (or just people who have never heard the phrase ‘a slap on the wrist’)?

    I’m lost. Why is the word Fuck sensorer both on image and text? What’s going on? With the sensoring there’s no way to know what’s true and not. Maybe they wrote love Elon. No one knows.

    Parking that much merchandise in one spot - might I suggest hiring a security guard or two? Maybe at least a fence and gate?

    I ignored the colon the first run through and I was trying to understand if the police hnd a vandals unit that went around fucking shit up. It kinda seems plausible. Then I reread it and noticed the colon.

    I’m not a forensic handwriting analyst, but I kind think same person wrote the message on all of the trucks.
