They missed a trick by using paint, when a spray of salt water would have done the job at one more subtly and more permanently
Subtle wasn’t the intent here. But I do like your thought process here.
while at the same time by-design cloaking it as pure bad quality could actually cause way more longterm damage than a little bit of paint.
on the other hand the paint could also be just a marketing strategy depending on what they smoked to get new ideas
Spraywatering with salt
Thats actually a better name for them than cybertruck. The Fuckelon
F.Elon.
Ironically making them more corrosion resistant, by doing so…
Without justifying this really dumb act, because there’s no justifying it, […]
How about we just don’t vandalize private property. That’s a good standpoint to build on.Wow, how unbased can an article get?
Why bother trying to make something uglier that is already maximum ugly?
Vandalised? More like improved.
@return2ozma Older Tesla’s one can give the owner the benefit of the doubt that they purchased it before Elon showed his true colours. No Cybertruck owner has that defence.
They are lucky it’s just paint.
I’m sure paint comes off ‘stainless’ steel real easy…
“Yes Mr. Crowler we hear what you’re saying, but unfortunately spray paint voids your warranty.”
Don’t worry, for others they say turning it on voids warranty
Oh did you turn yours on?? Because that’s definitely a paddlin’!
Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.
If I was a good capitalist, I would release a line of spray paints containing a concentrated, strong acid so they would corrode the metal, leaving a mark after the paint was removed. Call it something stupid like “Muskoleum,” “RustEloneum,” or “Cybertruck Repair Spray”," but preferably something catchier.
Elon sucks, but vandalizing someone else’s property because of him isn’t cool.
Elon Musk haters have vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks being held ahead of delivery at a parking lot in Florida.
Literally the first sentence of the article. The owner isn’t going to take this loss. Tesla will.
Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!
No shit the owner isn’t taking a loss, the owner now has to wait even longer because some clown wanted to make a statement that Elon sucks. Want to hurt Elon, talk shit about him, he doesn’t give a shit about vandalizing shit.
Causing financial harm to corporations that are harming society is a valid form of protest that had been used as a tactic for over a century.
Yeah ok, what are we protesting?
your momma’s emissions.
Fitting name.
Vandalizing cybertrucks before delivery is cool. Laws are not the arbitor of coolness.
It’s really not, they’ve all been pre ordered so far. Someone has been waiting on delivery of the ones that have been vandalized.
My heart goes to all the poor souls waiting for their Cybertrucks. They are the real heroes.
I don’t know. Vandalizing luxury cars finds me morally indifferent. I’m not going to argue for vandalizing them but I simply can’t get myself to care enough for the poor souls whose “cybetrucks” need a new paint job.
the stainless (but not rustless) paint job?
I don’t care either, but still, it’s arcargitz to fuck with someones shit. If you’re trying to make a statement, damaging property isn’t the way.
Edit: Fixed a phrase that offended someone.
Don’t care. Also, please don’t use “low class” as a slur.
Oh, no! Not the rich dickheads!
@InternetUser2012 @theacharnian and it’s not ‘someone’s’ it is a corporations, one with $44B to gift someone.
All the current cyber trucks have been pre ordered for a long time.
@InternetUser2012 still isn’t yours till it’s delivered
Yup, but you now have to wait longer because some asshat spray painted your truck. Again, I probably hate Elon more than you, I was going to buy a Model 3 until he showed his true colors.
Anybody who buys one of those vehicles is someone who sucks also. Fuck em all.
I’m not going to judge a human by the vehicle he drives. BUT, if I was to, it does seem the BMW drivers traded in their cars and bought Tesla’s.
“There’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism so fuck everyone.”
There’s a difference between buying something because you need it, and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult - and let’s be honest, no one buys a cybertruck because it’s a good vehicle for any purpose.
and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult
There is difference between rich not knowing where to spend the money while signaling that you are rich who doesn’t know where to spend the money and signaling being part of fascist cult.
I’m not sure why people seem to think that sentence says “purchases are beyond reproach,” but it doesn’t. Two things can be unethical with one being much more obviously worse.
Leave other people’s personal property alone, even if they suck.
no personal property was involved.
vandalizing cybertrucks is cool and good loser
The problem is having a clown as a CEO for a brand that keeps making people hate him in a very PR visible way. Other car brands don’t get graffiti’d.
Vandalizing the environment isn’t either.
Yet here you are posting on the internet using all those vandalizing products right?
True. Although the value likely went up, so maybe not actual vandalization…
They’re worth a lot at the moment, but very soon the value will tank and all these founders editions are going to be worth at least 30k less.
A substantial number are turning into paperweights within hours of delivery so their value has already tanked
They haven’t though, try and buy one.
Tesla sales are down & stocks are piling up: https://sherwood.news/business/elon-musk-tesla-extra-inventory-satellite-imagery/
Cybertruck issues piling up: https://www.fastcompany.com/91109879/a-timeline-of-tesla-cybertruck-problems-from-rust-to-hail-damage-to-pedal-recalls
And you can find endless videos on all SM about how they bricked within hours of delivery
Doesn’t matter, if you want a cyber truck right now, you’re going to pay more than sticker for a used one.
F_Elon is probably is future username
That’s an idea 🤔
how many?
DOZENS!
Sure, that’s how many cybertrucks were vandalized, but how many were spray painted on?
All 12 Cybertrucks that were purchased.
Scores and scores
Made them more valuable.
They should have aimed at the non-stainless steel portion. Pretty sure you could wipe this up easy with some acetone or gasoline as a solvent.
I wonder if it was done to dozens of them
