Someone vandalized nearly three dozen of Elon Musks’s new Tesla Cybertrucks that were parked in a lot in Fort Lauderdale some time between Thursday night and Friday morning, when they were found with spray-painted writing on them, police said.
Someone found 34 vandalized trucks in the lot shortly before 9 a.m. Friday, Fort Lauderdale Police spokesperson Ali Adamson said in an email. The man who found them told officers the trucks were in “good condition” Thursday when he left.
A video posted on the popular Only in Dade Instagram account, which posts viral videos recorded throughout the South Florida area, showed several trucks with an expletive and “Elon” written on the front of them in what appeared to be black spray paint. The person who recorded the video said Tesla had leased the previously empty lot where the trucks were parked and started bringing the trucks there earlier in the week.
Tesla’s website advertises the electric trucks as “no paint, no chips,” with an “ultra-hard stainless-steel” exterior. Its prices range from over $60,000 to nearly $100,000.
Fort Lauderdale Police are investigating.
