In a shocking incident that unfolded this week, a parking lot in Florida witnessed the widespread vandalism of Tesla’s Cybertrucks. The vehicles were defaced with expletives directed at CEO Elon Musk, as reported by NBC Miami. A staggering 34 Cybertrucks were targeted, with the offensive messages scrawled across their surfaces. Local authorities confirmed that all the vehicles were in pristine condition on Thursday night but were vandalized by Friday morning. The incident was also captured on video and shared on Instagram by a user named ‘onlyindade’. The footage reveals multiple Cybertrucks lined up, each bearing the same expletive message against Elon Musk.
Recent reports from Electrek have highlighted that Tesla has temporarily halted Cybertruck deliveries due to issues with the vehicle’s windshield wiper motor. This pause in deliveries might explain the large concentration of Cybertrucks at parking lots, as the publication suggests. Notably, Tesla began delivering the Cybertruck earlier this year, marking a significant milestone more than four years after Elon Musk first introduced the EV pickup truck.
In other Tesla-related news, shareholders recently approved a historic $56 million pay package for CEO Elon Musk, while also endorsing the relocation of the company’s legal domicile from Delaware to Texas. This massive pay deal signifies a pivotal moment in U.S. corporate history, aiming to secure Elon Musk’s long-term commitment to Tesla amidst ongoing legal challenges.
This vote comes in the wake of shareholder concerns and legal disputes surrounding the initial 2018 pay package, which was recently invalidated by a Delaware court. The Tesla board seeks to strengthen its position through shareholder endorsement, prompting this significant move.
