Vandals spray paints ‘F–k Elon’ on 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks in Florida
Vandals with an apparent vendetta against Tesla CEO Elon Musk spray painted “F—k Elon” on 34 brand new Cybertrucks in Florida.
Fort Lauderdale police received a call around 8:30 Thursday morning from a person reporting that the massive electric vehicles, which were in perfect condition the night before, had been defaced, police told The Post in a statement.
“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, told WPLG.
The starting price for the Cybertruck ranges from $57,000 to $96,000, depending on version.
Tesla leases the parking lot, which has minimum security, to store the vehicles, WPLG reported.

The Cybertrucks had been on the lot for about three days.
Social media influencers flocked to the scene to record their own clips of the vandalism.
“I just heard about it and I came out here to see if it was true and I see all of these Teslas,” TikToker Chase Thomas said.

Yasser Rabello said he first noticed the spray-painted vehicles just after 4 a.m. Friday. He recorded a video and posted it online.
“Vandalism is not acceptable,” Rabello said. “It is illegal.”
The graffiti had been wiped off by Friday afternoon, according to WPLG.
No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing, police said.
