Police: Vandal spray paints ‘F--- Elon’ on 34 Tesla Cybertrucks in Fort Lauderdale
local10.com
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.
I mistook the trucks for dumpsters.
Ah, Cyberdumpsters, please. Branding, and that.
...mistook?
Yes, it's the past tense of mistake.
I think they are saying that it wasn’t a mistake. lol
I think they are saying the cybertrucks are dumpsters
Agreed, that’s what I was going for
With this visual improvement to a cybertruck, I may be coaxed into buying one.
You were right the first time
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.
The spray paint on those was about as weather resistant as a the "stainless" steel
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.
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
Tbh the custom paint jobs I've seen on them usually look pretty good.
Maybe they should consider the value of painting the things by default
I say insurance fraud. They were never leaving the lot.
They just put what the driver of the cybertruck thinks about doing 24/7
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.
Wow so nice of them to not sell their class action bait in accordance with legal requirements.
Voluntarily.
To be fair, that's actually more than I expected from Elon. Maybe the lawyers showed him a brightly colored graph illustrating the liability going up alongside sales.
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.
A finger waggle, perhaps.
Don't attribute to anger that which can be attributed to your comment being forced and unfunny
I stand by my wrist-slapping joke.
It wasn’t a knee slapper, that’s for sure.
Take a lap
Fuck, now I have to say fuck ten time to balance out the five censored fucks in this fucking post. Fuck this fucking noise, you're allowed to say fuck on the fucking internet for fuck's sake. Fuck.
Thankfully electrek.co has the uncensored version.
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.
so proud of my boy
Man I think he went that way 👉
Oh no, just missed him, now he's over 👈 thataway!
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
Definitely an upgrade, it softens the metal brick look.
honestly, that has a lot of style. Kid should use acid next time
This model is also vulnerable to water types.
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.
Good thing they’re stainless.
Etching fluid would be a better choice, take .002-.003” off over the course of a night and no one would know until the sun hit it just right.
Might need a battery if you want to speed things up, but I think it’d work for a quick tag too.
Beautiful 🥹
Parking that much merchandise in one spot - might I suggest hiring a security guard or two? Maybe at least a fence and gate?
I'm not a forensic handwriting analyst, but I kind think same person wrote the message on all of the trucks.
30 cybertrucks, one owner? Fucking spiders georg here
Made your daddy proud... Proud...
Nice custom paint job
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.
That’s hardly a vandal. More like a freedom fighter.
C’mon, just enhancing the rust-punk feel,
I've never been to Fort Lauderdale.
That's exactly what someone who went to Ft. Lauderdale and illegally defaced 34 Cybertrucks would say!
We got him!
Wow! Find out more by Googling "Elon Musk Florida Rule 34"!
TIL Cybertrucks are exotic cars...
If it breaks in a car wash and takes 5 hours to reboot, that’s pretty exotic.
One definition of exotic is "intriguingly unusual or interesting"
I think thats a fair description of the design. Doesnt mean people have to like them, or that they are well built.
Many exotic cars have been terribly built and ive seen super cars that i think are much uglier than cybertruck... And just about every saab car ive ever seen
Vandal or street artist?
Dylan Maxwell did it.
