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”
I got curious and tried it. What does this mean?
Well when two cybertrucks love each other very much…

I had thought it was because only 34 cybertrucks existed in Florida
And here I was thinking it was one truck per felony for PG’s big strong political daddy.
Police said 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks were damaged.
By Friday afternoon, the graffiti had been wiped off.
Social media influencers and passersby stopped to snap photos.
Fort Lauderdale police are now investigating the case.
What a rollercoaster
Some say vandalized, others say upgraded.
Yeah they were just trying to help tesla by demonstrating the concept of painting vehicles since tesla doesn’t seem to understand it very well
I say insurance fraud. They were never leaving the lot.
Amateurs. You don’t spray paint them, they’ll just clean it off.
What you do, is place a stencil with “fuck Elon” on them, spray rust protective clear lacquer over the general area, and remove the stencil.
They won’t notice until the next time it rains, when the words will show up in bright rust orange, much more harder to remove than any spray paint, and much harder to trace to you.
A devilishly devious plan sir.
you’re a wily one
Seems like an awful lot of work when a can of expanding foam squirted in the right places will disable most anything mechanical and is much more difficult to remove.
The point isn’t to disable them, it’s to write “fuck Elon” on them. 🤷♂️
(Plus, they’re A.— electric vehicles, so not that many mechanical bits to disable, B.— Teslas, so they already do a pretty good job of getting disabled all by themselves, and C.— cybertrucks, so they already come pretty pre-disabled by design, the poor things.)
Truly a truck for the do-it-yourselfer!
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!
There is a no sale order as they fix the pedal and wipers. Voluntarily.
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 think you were downboted for “hard slap”, when obviously it should just at most be a soft slap.
That sort of thing is what appeals are for, silly!
But Trump says that just sitting in court is already cruel and unusual punishment, so idk?
Only if the AC is on.
Don’t attribute to anger that which can be attributed to your comment being forced and unfunny
I stand by my wrist-slapping joke.
Made them look better IMO. Probably raised the value of it too.
There are a few basic lifepaths you can pick in Cyberpunk; corpo, nomad, and street kid.
Corpos wouldn’t be caught dead in a truck like that. It’s all about smooth lines and luxury.
For a proper Street Kid look, that thing should be covered in Graffiti and random tags. So yes, these tagged trucks do look better in my opinion as well
For a Nomad look, random shit needs to be soldered to the truck, battle car/mad max style. This is probably the best look for that abomination IMO.
Lagniappe: Paint it all black and add some fake rocket launchers to the back for that Militech look.
Only gonks drive cybertrucks.
Trü. Only divorced bourgy dudes think it’s preem.
Well at least they are partially painted now which should help with the rust.
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.
Here you go
honestly, that has a lot of style. Kid should use acid next time
Yeah, but “Elon” is just right out there for the world to see its shame and be disgusted. Won’t somebody think of the children?
It’s censeless.
Parking that much merchandise in one spot - might I suggest hiring a security guard or two? Maybe at least a fence and gate?
Made your daddy proud… Proud…
Good thing they’re stainless.
Nice custom paint job
I’m not a forensic handwriting analyst, but I kind think same person wrote the message on all of the trucks.
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.
