Vandals in Florida targeted Tesla Cybertrucks this week, defacing 34 vehicles with "F**k Elon" graffiti.
Tesla Cybertrucks Vandalized with Graffiti
Vandals in Florida targeted Elon Musk, especially with insults, and vandalized around 30 Cybertrucks this week. On Friday, a 35-second video surfaced on Instagram depicting the scenes following a vandalism rampage in a parking lot in Fort Lauderdale.
Teslarati reports that multiple posts on X and Instagram revealed that a whole parking lot stocked with Tesla Cybertrucks, appearing to be ready for customer deliveries, was destroyed not long ago. Pictures of the incident show that "F**k Elon" was painted on the sides and hood of a few Cybertrucks.
Local Police Confirm the Extent of Vandalism
NBC Miami was informed by the local police that the parking lot, which contains a number of Tesla models and Cybtertrucks, had been vandalized by a total of thirty-four automobiles.
According to the source, the individual who contacted the authorities stated that the automobiles appeared to be in good shape on Thursday night, but by Friday morning, they had sustained damage. Immediate action was made to either clean the automobiles or remove them from the parking lot.
In spite of the fact that the occurrence is highly frustrating, particularly for the owners of the vandalized Cybertrucks, several members of the community of electric vehicles have pointed out that the graffiti on the all-electric pickup trucks would probably be cleared up with relative ease.
Graffiti Easily Removable from Cybertrucks
As a matter of fact, paint does not adhere to stainless steel very reliably. Afterwards, the graffiti that was found on the vandalized Tesla Cybertrucks should be removed using some cleaning supplies and a power washing session.
On the other hand, members of the Cybertruck Owners Club have pointed out that Tesla ought to definitely strengthen the level of security in its car delivery lots.
After all, the Cybertrucks that were parked in the Fort Lauderdale parking lot appeared to be unsecured, and one could certainly argue that Tesla has room for improvement in terms of ensuring that its vehicles are protected from vandals before they are delivered to customers.
Representatives from Tesla did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
