Ah, Cyberdumpsters, please. Branding, and that.
...mistook?
Yes, it's the past tense of mistake.
I think they are saying that it wasn’t a mistake. lol
I think they are saying the cybertrucks are dumpsters
Agreed, that’s what I was going for
With this visual improvement to a cybertruck, I may be coaxed into buying one.

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.
If i remember correctly the old spray paint is banned in a bunch of places because of graffiti.
Some say vandalized, others say upgraded.
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.

Apart from the painting, it's interesting that Tesla needs to rent space to store Cybertrucks! Maybe it's not selling so hot?
I think they have a delivery hold on it right now for some issue they have to fix, again!
There is a no sale order as they fix the pedal and wipers. Voluntarily.
Wow so nice of them to not sell their class action bait in accordance with legal requirements.
Voluntarily.

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.
That sort of thing is what appeals are for, silly!
But Trump says that just sitting in court is already cruel and unusual punishment, so idk?
Only if the AC is on.
A finger waggle, perhaps.

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 👉
Well at least they are partially painted now which should help with the rust.
Etching fluid would be a better choice, take .002-.003” off over the course of a night and no one would know until the sun hit it just right.
Might need a battery if you want to speed things up, but I think it’d work for a quick tag too.
Good thing they’re stainless.
Beautiful 🥹
Parking that much merchandise in one spot - might I suggest hiring a security guard or two? Maybe at least a fence and gate?
Made your daddy proud... Proud...
I'm not a forensic handwriting analyst, but I kind think same person wrote the message on all of the trucks.
30 cybertrucks, one owner? Fucking spiders georg here
Nice custom paint job
