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.

    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!

        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.
