Dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks were defaced in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, last week by someone who has a bone to pick with Elon Musk. An unidentified sign called “F*** Elon” was spray-painted on the stainless steel body panels of 34 Cybertrucks.
Uncensored footage of explicit graffiti will be preserved forever thanks to social media users like Onlyindade on Instagram.
The trucks were stored in a public parking lot, waiting to be delivered to the new Cybertruck owners. Surplus quantities are common for dealerships or service centers when space is limited and inventory is higher than usual. However, this assembly area was located in a publicly accessible area without fencing, barrier or security of any kind. Local residents interviewed by WPLG Local 10 news said the trucks had been stored there for about 3 days and no Tesla vehicles had been seen stored in the lot previously.
This may indicate that the location was chosen quickly and unexpectedly. As InsideEVs reported last week, many hopeful Cybertruck owners were disappointed that their deliveries have been delayed by at least a week. According to Tesla employees, the trucks were under a “containment hold” while waiting for the truck’s faulty windshield wiper motor to be repaired. This lot may be selected as a quick holding area during the transportation of spare parts.
Fortunately for the buyers, the graffiti was easily removed and all the trucks were clean the next day. The local police are now investigating the incident and the perpetrator hopes that these electronic trucks were not using guard mode.
It is not known whether Tesla plans to use this amount to store the Cybertruck in the future. But if so, they might consider taking some security measures first. At the very least, Tesla should probably put up a temporary fence around the lot.
