In a separate incident on February 13, obscenities were written on the side of a Cybertruck using dust. The act is believed to be motivated by opposition to Tesla owner Elon Musk and his connections to the U.S. government. However, there has been no notable increase in mischief incidents targeting Tesla vehicles compared to previous years.
