...mistook?
Yes, it's the past tense of mistake.
I think they are saying that it wasn’t a mistake. lol

Vandal or street artist?
Parking that much merchandise in one spot - might I suggest hiring a security guard or two? Maybe at least a fence and gate?
Good thing they’re stainless.
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!

I'm not a forensic handwriting analyst, but I kind think same person wrote the message on all of the trucks.
Man I think he went that way 👉
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
The spray paint on those was about as weather resistant as a the "stainless" steel

So I take it the trucks are now piles of rust then?
As before when they were merely potential piles of rust.
I've never been to Fort Lauderdale.
That's exactly what someone who went to Ft. Lauderdale and illegally defaced 34 Cybertrucks would say!

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.
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.
Here you go
Definitely an upgrade, it softens the metal brick look.

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"

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.

Don't attribute to anger that which can be attributed to your comment being forced and unfunny
I stand by my wrist-slapping joke.
It wasn’t a knee slapper, that’s for sure.
Take a lap
C’mon, just enhancing the rust-punk feel,
