Tesla Cybertrucks vandalized in Florida with some choice messages attacking Elon Musk

Local authorities told NBC Miami that 34 vehicles had been vandalized within the parking lot, which housed Cybtertrucks and other Tesla models.

The person who called the authorities said the vehicles were in fine condition on Thursday night but were damaged by Friday morning, the outlet reported.

The vehicles were quickly cleaned or taken off the lot.

Representatives for Tesla did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Tesla began delivering Cybertrucks to the general public in November 2023. Cybertrucks start at $60,990 for rear-wheel drive and increase to $79,990 for all-wheel drive. The Cyberbeast, which can reach 130 mph and tow 11,000 lbs, costs an estimated $99,990.

While Tesla Cybertrucks have received a decidedly mixed response in the United States, they have been embraced elsewhere.

The Dubai Police General Command added a Cybertruck to its fleet of patrol vehicles this month. Musk and the official Cybertruck account applauded the decision on X.

“Very cool to see — thanks for the trust!” the Cybertruck account wrote.

Tesla has faced a string of bad news in recent months. The automaker slashed 10% of its global workforce in April and laid off more workers in the weeks after. And some traders say the company’s stock is overvalued. One short-seller recently called Tesla’s stock was one of the “biggest stock market bubbles” in history.
