- A Brooklyn Cybertruck was egged and smeared with dog feces, sparking online debate.
- Tesla’s Sentry mode might catch the culprit, provided they didn’t cover their identity.
- Vandalism against Teslas, particularly the Cybertruck, has surged amid growing discontent.
Now is an interesting time to own a Tesla. For over a decade, the brand has produced some of the most popular EVs on the market and cultivated a nearly cult-like following, thanks in no small part to its CEO, Elon Musk. However, as Musk has waded deeper into politics, the brand’s once-pristine image seems to be fading, and reports of vandalism against Tesla models appear to be on the rise.

No Tesla model has sparked more debate than the Cybertruck. Its polarizing design, with sharp angles and a body that looks like it was pulled from a rejected 90s sci-fi film, has turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Some fans love it; others, well, would rather see it run off the road. It seems someone in Brooklyn falls into the latter camp, having recently taken their frustrations out on a Cybertruck parked by the side of the road.
Photos shared on Reddit show the damage: the Cybertruck was egged, and to top it off, what looks like dog feces was smeared across its rear. No word yet on whether the vandal has a personal vendetta against the truck, Musk, or just sharp, angular vehicles in general. Either way, they made their point, while wasting some precious eggs in the process. Given egg prices right now, that’s almost a privilege.
While there’s still no word on the identity of the vandal, there’s a chance the owner could track them down if they’re motivated enough. Tesla’s Sentry Mode, which uses external cameras to record suspicious activity, might just have caught the action. If the culprit wasn’t wearing a ski mask or some other form of facial protection, they could be staring down a very incriminating video of their vandalism.
You won’t be surprised to learn that this isn’t the first time a Tesla has been targeted. Back in January, a Cybertruck in Los Angeles became the unfortunate canvas for a group of vandals. After being wrecked in a crash, it was abandoned in a parking lot, only to become an impromptu art project for local miscreants. It wasn’t long before the truck was covered in graffiti, transforming it into an unwanted street attraction.
