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.

    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.

    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’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.

      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

      If it breaks in a car wash and takes 5 hours to reboot, that’s pretty exotic.

      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.

    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.

    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.
