Vandals targeted 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks in Florida by writing graffiti, to say the least insulting, against Elon Musk. Police are investigating the vandalism, which quickly attracted public attention on social media.
A few weeks ago, we discovered the Tesla Cybertruck in the flesh during its European tour, at the Vivatech 2024 show in Paris. This electric pickup impressed us with its imposing size and futuristic angular design. We particularly appreciated its robustness, its sleek interior and its advanced features, such as its bulletproofing and its numerous power outlets. However, as shown by recent incident in the United Statesthis enthusiasm is not shared by everyone.
In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, vandals defaced 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks with “Fu*k Elon” on vehicles. We will spare you the translation of this mention which seems rather clear. These electric 4x4s were stored on land rented by Tesla and they were all intact the day before. They were then found vandalized the following Thursday morning. The local police were alerted by a passerby who noticed the damage.

As a reminder, the base price of the Cybertruck varies between 57,000 and 96,000 dollars, or approximately 53,000 to 90,000 euros depending on the version. According to American newspapers, these vehicles were stored in an insecure area awaiting repair before delivering them to their future owners. Police have made no arrests so far and investigation continues. This act of vandalism shows to what extent Elon Musk divides opinions. Some love it, others hate it.
