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.

I'm not a forensic handwriting analyst, but I kind think same person wrote the message on all of the trucks.

C’mon, just enhancing the rust-punk feel,

That’s hardly a vandal. More like a freedom fighter.

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.

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.

[–] 555_1 5 points 5 months ago

If it breaks in a car wash and takes 5 hours to reboot, that’s pretty exotic.

[–] Jarix 4 points 5 months ago

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
