Dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks in Fort Lauderdale, FL were recently vandalized by an unknown individual with a bone to pick with Elon Musk. The perpetrator spray-painted explicit graffiti that read ‘F*** Elon’ across the stainless steel body panels of 34 Cybertrucks. The uncensored footage of the defaced trucks circulated on social media, thanks to users like onlyindade on Instagram.
The trucks were stored in a public parking lot awaiting delivery to new Cybertruck owners. It was noted that the location had no security measures in place, such as a fence or barriers, making it an easy target for vandalism. Local residents mentioned that the trucks had only been stored there for about three days, and it was unusual to see Tesla vehicles in that lot previously.
Reports suggest that the trucks were on a ‘containment hold’ due to a malfunctioning windshield wiper motor, and the location may have been chosen as a temporary holding area while awaiting replacement parts. Fortunately, the graffiti was promptly removed, and all trucks were cleaned the following day.
Local authorities are investigating the incident, and the vandal may face consequences if caught. It is essential for the perpetrator to hope that the Cybertrucks did not have sentry mode engaged, as this could provide valuable evidence for identifying them.
It remains uncertain if Tesla plans to continue using this lot for Cybertruck storage in the future. However, if they do, implementing security measures like a temporary fence would be advisable to prevent similar incidents from occurring.
For individuals eagerly anticipating their Cybertruck delivery in Fort Lauderdale, it is recommended to inspect the vehicles for any blemishes or graffiti before taking possession. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring the security of valuable assets, especially in public spaces.
