Well at least they are partially painted now which should help with the rust.
30 cybertrucks, one owner? Fucking spiders georg here
That’s hardly a vandal. More like a freedom fighter.
Nice custom paint job
TIL Cybertrucks are exotic cars...
Police said 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks were damaged. The owner parked the **exotic **cars in a parking lot in Fort Lauderdale.
If it breaks in a car wash and takes 5 hours to reboot, that’s pretty exotic.
One definition of exotic is "intriguingly unusual or interesting"
I think thats a fair description of the design. Doesnt mean people have to like them, or that they are well built.
Many exotic cars have been terribly built and ive seen super cars that i think are much uglier than cybertruck... And just about every saab car ive ever seen
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 mistook the trucks for dumpsters.
With this visual improvement to a cybertruck, I may be coaxed into buying one.
What have dumpsters done to you..?
Ah, Cyberdumpsters, please. Branding, and that.
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
So I take it the trucks are now piles of rust then?
As before when they were merely potential piles of rust.
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.
Some say vandalized, others say upgraded.
I say insurance fraud. They were never leaving the lot.
Yeah they were just trying to help tesla by demonstrating the concept of painting vehicles since tesla doesn't seem to understand it very well
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.
A devilishly devious plan sir.
you're a wily one
Seems like an awful lot of work when a can of expanding foam squirted in the right places will disable most anything mechanical and is much more difficult to remove.
The point isn't to disable them, it's to write “fuck Elon” on them. 🤷♂️
(Plus, they're A.— electric vehicles, so not that many mechanical bits to disable, B.— Teslas, so they already do a pretty good job of getting disabled all by themselves, and C.— cybertrucks, so they already come pretty pre-disabled by design, the poor things.)
Truly a truck for the do-it-yourselfer!
Apart from the painting, it's interesting that Tesla needs to rent space to store Cybertrucks! Maybe it's not selling so hot?
Pretty normal for manufacturers dealers to rent unused lots if they don’t have enough space to store inventory. And Telsa doesn’t have dealerships with attached lots. They just have little showroom stores, and they need hubs to park inventory.
I think they have a delivery hold on it right now for some issue they have to fix, again!
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 think you were downboted for "hard slap", when obviously it should just at most be a soft slap.
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.
Made them look better IMO. Probably raised the value of it too.
There are a few basic lifepaths you can pick in Cyberpunk; corpo, nomad, and street kid.
Corpos wouldn't be caught dead in a truck like that. It's all about smooth lines and luxury.
For a proper Street Kid look, that thing should be covered in Graffiti and random tags. So yes, these tagged trucks do look better in my opinion as well
For a Nomad look, random shit needs to be soldered to the truck, battle car/mad max style. This is probably the best look for that abomination IMO.
Lagniappe: Paint it all black and add some fake rocket launchers to the back for that Militech look.
so proud of my boy
I'm lost. Why is the word Fuck sensorer both on image and text? What's going on? With the sensoring there's no way to know what's true and not. Maybe they wrote love Elon. No one knows.
Man I think he went that way 👉
