In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a parking lot housing dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks was vandalized last Friday morning, with the phrase "F--- Elon!" spray-painted on 34 vehicles. The Fort Lauderdale Police Department (FLPD) responded to the scene at approximately 8:38 a.m. after the parking lot owner discovered the damage, having left the vehicles in "good condition" the previous night. Tesla has been leasing the lot for vehicle storage. Witnesses reported seeing multiple rows of Cybertrucks affected by the graffiti. Adam Docktor, a local worker, noted the extensive nature of the vandalism, which appeared to cover several rows of vehicles. By Friday afternoon, the graffiti had been largely removed, but the investigation by FLPD is still ongoing. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward. This incident comes shortly before Tesla announced two separate recalls for the Cybertruck model, addressing potential issues with truck bed trims and front windshield wipers. The timing of the vandalism raises questions, but Tesla has not yet responded to inquiries regarding the incident. As the investigation unfolds, the community remains on alert, and the incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the electric vehicle manufacturer and its high-profile CEO, Elon Musk.
