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.
Amateurs. You don’t spray paint them, they’ll just clean it off.
What you do, is place a stencil with “fuck Elon” on them, spray rust protective clear lacquer over the general area, and remove the stencil.
They won’t notice until the next time it rains, when the words will show up in bright rust orange, much more harder to remove than any spray paint, and much harder to trace to you.
The reason they stopped at 34 cybertrucks is because vandalizing any more would make it a federal crime. You can read up on this by googling “cybertruck rule 34”
I got curious and tried it. What does this mean?
Well when two cybertrucks love each other very much…
I had thought it was because only 34 cybertrucks existed in Florida
Police said 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks were damaged.
By Friday afternoon, the graffiti had been wiped off.
Social media influencers and passersby stopped to snap photos.
Fort Lauderdale police are now investigating the case.
What a rollercoaster
The spray paint on those was about as weather resistant as a the “stainless” steel
Just for info, spray paint you buy in shops now is shit because it’s basically water based
Under no circumstances should you search online for “2K” spray paint as it’s a two part paint, almost like epoxy resin and would be almost impossible to remove from a shitty pile of junk
Also worth noting: 2K is incredibly toxic and regular paint filter masks are useless for preventing it from getting into your lungs. It’s supposed to be used while wearing positive pressure ventilated PPE.
Probably not the best choice for redecoration on the move.
If i remember correctly the old spray paint is banned in a bunch of places because of graffiti.
So I take it the trucks are now piles of rust then?
As before when they were merely potential piles of rust.
Fuck, now I have to say fuck ten time to balance out the five censored fucks in this fucking post. Fuck this fucking noise, you’re allowed to say fuck on the fucking internet for fuck’s sake. Fuck.
Thankfully electrek.co has the uncensored version.
Etching fluid would be a better choice, take .002-.003” off over the course of a night and no one would know until the sun hit it just right.
Might need a battery if you want to speed things up, but I think it’d work for a quick tag too.
I mistook the trucks for dumpsters.
You were right the first time
…mistook?
Yes, it’s the past tense of mistake.
I think they are saying that it wasn’t a mistake. lol
I think they are saying the cybertrucks are dumpsters
Agreed, that’s what I was going for
Ah, Cyberdumpsters, please. Branding, and that.
Beautiful 🥹
Made your daddy proud… Proud…
Well if they can hold spray cans, they definitely have wrists, so I suggest the justice system give them a good hard slap if they get caught.
Edit: I wonder- am I pissing off Cybertruck lovers or people who think this deserves a harsh punishment (or just people who have never heard the phrase ‘a slap on the wrist’)?
I ignored the colon the first run through and I was trying to understand if the police hnd a vandals unit that went around fucking shit up. It kinda seems plausible. Then I reread it and noticed the colon.
Wow! Find out more by Googling “Elon Musk Florida Rule 34”!
so proud of my boy
Apart from the painting, it’s interesting that Tesla needs to rent space to store Cybertrucks! Maybe it’s not selling so hot?
There is a no sale order as they fix the pedal and wipers. Voluntarily.
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.
I’m not a forensic handwriting analyst, but I kind think same person wrote the message on all of the trucks.
