Vandals targeted row after row of Tesla Cybertrucks stored in a nondescript Fort Lauderdale parking lot in an apparent vendetta against the company’s controversial CEO, Elon Musk.

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.

    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

      So I take it the trucks are now piles of rust then?

      As before when they were merely potential piles of rust.

        Just for info, spray paint you buy in shops now is shit because it’s basically water based

        Under no circumstances should you search online for “2K” spray paint as it’s a two part paint, almost like epoxy resin and would be almost impossible to remove from a shitty pile of junk

          Also worth noting: 2K is incredibly toxic and regular paint filter masks are useless for preventing it from getting into your lungs. It’s supposed to be used while wearing positive pressure ventilated PPE.

          Probably not the best choice for redecoration on the move.

          If i remember correctly the old spray paint is banned in a bunch of places because of graffiti.
