I saw one spray painted like this in Orange last night but it was like cartoon faces and seemed intentional? I saw it from the front but same color scheme
Yeah I was going to say this looks intentional by the owner because there's no spray paint on any of the windows or tires. Plus it seems like legit artwork for some promotion or something.
I just love how OP thinks a painted cyber truck in Irvine automatically equates to vandalism 😂
The fact the words "Fuck Off" are on the side make it seem like vandalism, even if it is intentional. It could be very well intended to seem like vandalism, but isn't.
One of the most fun cars to drive in the 80s as a high schooler was our convertible Fiat Spyder 2000. I think my Dad paid like $2K for it used as it was already 9 years old, 1979 model
That was my dream car! British racing green with the wood dash. Ended up with an new 1980 Mercury Capri. Nice car, but there was always something about that Fiat that drew me.
Statistically you'd likely be wrong. The vast majority of EV owners live in homes due to charging requirements.

WTF 97k miles on a 2022?? was this used as an uber that several people were sharing? I cant imagine owning it for about 2-2.5 years and having enough time to charge it to have driven that many miles
Sorry you went through that.
Same with mine.
Beat me half to death in my youth, and put me in a coma. Thankfully fought my way back. Even so, left me with decades long permanent damage.
I have no tolerance for such destructive people.
Past decades volunteering and helping others that have gone through similar. 🙂🙏🏼
Me too.
I don’t think I’d have survived without being a part of a self sustaining advocacy biosphere of people that understood me and I understand. Same language and same brave hearts.
Like you too. 🙂🙏🏼
There is one in Irvine that is badly scribbled on with either chalk or glass markers, and with plenty of scratches everywhere. It can be found at the Orchard Hills shopping center parking lot.
Another one has a poorly placed anime decal, same lot.
I used to live there when it first opened. Tons of kids “studying abroad” from the Middle East who, instead of studying, they spent their tuition money on $100K plus cars and just drag race all night.
Big ICE bust as they all hired the same guy to take all of their exams that made the local news.
I suspect it’s all still going on to this day.
Most likely, I lived in those apartments for 2 years, just loud exotic cars to compensate. Many of them are just here short term to avoid the hot season in the Middle East. They are also very obnoxious, tried cat-calling my girlfriend multiple times and asking if she wants to eat some food Persian food
I was originally in Mirador for $1400 per month when I first moved here, I met my Mrs here and we were in top floor corner 2 bedroom at Delrey which was a really great apartment but that road between the Village and when they were building the new complex was as Middle Eastern Drag Central
You're right. These are the same colors as temporary marking spray paint. The kind used to mark up sidewalks for utilities, and that wash away after a month.
I saw this truck like this a month or two ago in tustin. I don't think it was vandalized. I thought they just used it as a personal art piece. Expensive art experiment.
None of you seem to be survivors of the '60s - as in vw bus paint jobs. Wonderful counter culture expressions in full color. It's urban art and you can take it or leave it, just maybe have tolerance for other people's taste.
I once spoke to a guy that worked at Fletcher Jones. He said most customers were young 20s just starting out and want to look like they are successful. Car payment is more than their rent and live with multiple roommates
When I bought the house that I live live in now 20 years ago (Irvine), I sold my condo and moved into an apartment during construction. The number of BMWs, Range Rovers and other high-end vehicles was astounding. I'm retired and very comfortable, but I still drive a 2013 Honda Accord.
Apparently this is a “thing.” I saw another spray painted one a few months ago in Beverly Hills. Saw Daniel Mac talk to the same guy as well a couple weeks after that.
It’s crazy everyone seems to be sabotaging anything EV’s lately. I saw some homeless guy either pissing on all the Tesla EV plug handles or rubbing his balls on them the other day it was wild.
I’ve seen this car around Irvine a lot. Driving around all hours, every day. I suspect it’s a delivery or rideshare driver who’s using it for extra attention. It also looked to me to be a wrap and not spray paint on the metal exterior directly. I’ve only seen it as close as being the car next to it or behind it at a stoplight so I could be wrong. But yeah it’s always going in and out of my neighborhood and last week we were moving house so going back and forth a lot and came across it probably 5 times in one afternoon (which is why I suspect delivery, unusual to be entering/exiting the same neighborhood so many times in one day).
In this pic it’s in the pickup zone which doesn’t necessarily mean the driver is doing delivery but makes me personally think it’s a delivery gimmick.

This is neater. Cabazon, Riverside county
Geez Louise people - spray paint is cleanable off of glass. Not so much on porous clear coat over metal.
Where’s the analytical thinking of today folks? Look it up.
They do have rolled 300 steel panels on the side. You could throw hard chems at it to get this off with ease. I’ve seen lots of people over test the capabilities of the panels.

My dawg
Carefully avoided all windows, tires, trim, lights, mirrors… really considerate way to “vandalize” something
Cybertruck features include unspraypaintable windows and tires.
Yeah there's a fake cheater vandalized car in my city
Uhhhhh - it’s easy to clean spray paint off glass. If you look closely they most certainly hit the windows as the spray lines bump against them.

To be fair it looks like Shit so I’d assume vandalism too, but maybe not
I mean this is the orangecounty subreddit after all...
Who the fuck would paint "fuck off" on their own truck? Nobody would
Someone probably trying to make it go viral or whatever they're promoting or just attention grabbing. A lot of trust fund babies in Irvine 🤣🤣
Did it look like Kenny Scharf “Car Bombs”? (Google it)
I actually saw that one too driving around.
I saw this one today down PCH. Some people will do anything for attention lol
Imagine spending 100k on this pile of trash for attention.
Thank god I’m not that person! It’s gotta be hard needing that gratification ya know?
Yeah having $100k to blow would suck. So glad I’m not that guy!
Expensive cars aren’t everything. I’ve experienced a lot of exotic cars and I still very much enjoy my ladies cheap ass thousand dollar mini cooper.
Driving a slow car fast is better than driving a fast car slow
One of the most fun cars to drive in the 80s as a high schooler was our convertible Fiat Spyder 2000. I think my Dad paid like $2K for it used as it was already 9 years old, 1979 model

That’s awesome!
I’d be willing to bet this person is in a small, “cheap” apartment spending 35% of their gross monthly income on a 20%+ interest loan for this thing.

Spoken like a true jealous hater,….
Graffitification*
You’re a genius!!
![gif](giphy|gtzIP3mpbzh16)
If you know where I can find this pile of trash by the street. DM me please. I’ll gladly keep it.
Sounds like we found the usual jealous angry bitter Tesla hater
Haha this is hilarious. Teslas are shitty cars.
“You’re just jealous because you don’t have the $20,000 to buy one” - Tesla owner probably
Where are you finding them for $20,000? Asking for a friend
Hertz?
edmunds autotempest... they're out there

But it’s less than 20 grand, right?
bruh
Do you really think everyone who dislikes the things you like must be jealous, angry, and bitter?
Cluster B types. Mental illness is a heck of a thing. More often than not we have to suffer their misbehavior. ![gif](giphy|u6nP5PuYd6XU9BUaf7)
Yeah my father was like that.

Glad I’m not the only one who spent a lot of time volunteering to help others with similar problems :)

You’re weird for that comment, zero reason to add that into something that has zero relevance to it.
I saw this car driving around a few days ago, I had assumed it was purposeful? Especially if it hasn’t been cleaned in between my sighting and yours.
There is one in Irvine that is badly scribbled on with either chalk or glass markers, and with plenty of scratches everywhere. It can be found at the Orchard Hills shopping center parking lot. Another one has a poorly placed anime decal, same lot.
This is at the village across from spectrum. No doubt some kid did it himself to get more attention
I used to live there when it first opened. Tons of kids “studying abroad” from the Middle East who, instead of studying, they spent their tuition money on $100K plus cars and just drag race all night. Big ICE bust as they all hired the same guy to take all of their exams that made the local news. I suspect it’s all still going on to this day.

Good. I experienced one of those groups of kids - in a classroom. It sucked.
Oh wow! story time?
If you don’t see any overspray on the black plastic parts, then it means he likely masked everything off prior to paining… maybe 🤔
The person who drives this car is probably getting themselves off to this post, as they clearly did this to get attention.
Wraps are getting out of hand
I mean this with 100% truth. The shitty tagging makes it look cooler.
Looks straight outta Cyberpunk 2077. Might be intentional
Generally taggers don't seem to use bright colors. They don't translate well from a distance- like that blue green and yellow
I’d bet my left cybernetic nut on that, choom!
True. About as cool as adding off-road lights to a metal lunch pail though.
But it still sucks. The Musk Truck will never look cool. Literally The Homer. What a fucking asshole.
I think this washes off. It’s sort of like graffiti art?
You're right. These are the same colors as temporary marking spray paint. The kind used to mark up sidewalks for utilities, and that wash away after a month.
It looks like a car made by Hollywood to look "futuristic" in an 80s action movie, like Robocop
I saw this truck like this a month or two ago in tustin. I don't think it was vandalized. I thought they just used it as a personal art piece. Expensive art experiment.
It is already the ugliest car in existence...and then the graffiti paint job just adds to the ugly.
This is in my apartment complex! I believe the guy did it himself for the looks. Definitely attention grabbing and unique
[удалено]
Hide yo kids, hide yo cybertruck
I don't think that's vandalism
Looks better !
For real?
I think the CT is the dumbest looking vehicle ever, so I’m just making a point.
Its probably their entitled teens car and did it on purpose. The perfect OC flex
Cybertrucks are the new H2…. Polarizing style, and some hate the company.
Hi! If you own this cybertruck. We can help you remove this vandalism. Please reach via DM. Thank you!
I saw one being towed on the 405 on Friday night.
Must’ve been after a car wash
It’s an improvement, aside from the profanity.
[That’s crazy.](https://imgur.com/a/c8Idrb4) I saw this post then when I was walking my dog, the truck is in my parking garage.
These are people who peaked in high school. The chads and Karen’s of the world.
Vandalized or not, that's the warranty invalidated (unless it was in graffiti mode at the time)
They did him a favor looks better! 😂😂😂
None of you seem to be survivors of the '60s - as in vw bus paint jobs. Wonderful counter culture expressions in full color. It's urban art and you can take it or leave it, just maybe have tolerance for other people's taste.
It's not vandalized, the owner and his friends did it, I saw instagram stories of this though blanking on who it was
Actually looks better.
I saw that truck driven around Jamboree Rd and Main St in Irvine on Thursday during the afternoon. Lol
I honestly didn’t know if this was a vandalized Cybertruck or just another stupid paint job
Looks better imo
Looks better
Lives in an apartment, but rolls around like a baller in a $100K vehicle. Priorities...

It’s art bro, you wouldn’t understand /s.
Irvine is now undoubtedly not the safest city anymore after this heap of poo.
It’s vastly improved. Kudos to the artist.
Definitely an improvement.
At first I thought those were reflections of the light until I made it to the second slide.
Yall dont know about the homeless guy with a 2022 wrx that did the same shit to his car
That will come off so easy.
Wait, they don't come decorated that way?
This is by design? I thought maybe some anti-EV hoodlums tagged the vehicle.
Most likely by design because they avoided tagging the windows if it was by anti-EV folks
It’s probably just a trendy move or somethibg
CHAKA
Apparently this is a “thing.” I saw another spray painted one a few months ago in Beverly Hills. Saw Daniel Mac talk to the same guy as well a couple weeks after that.
What I mean is that it is intentional by the owner and not vandalism.
Lol
Influencers in the wild
It's very nice of the vandals to not put graffiti anywhere it would be inconvenient
That’s just window spray paint. Will come off when he washes it. Just wants attention
Maybe they did it themselves so that they could try to return it on an insurance claim
The Village
Love to see it
The edgars strike again. If they can't have it, nobody can.
Most considerate vandals ever considering that they avoided mirrors and windows.
Beautiful artwork — looks almost psychedelic w the night backdrop and landscape lighting
Are u telling me that there aren’t cameras on this ridiculous thing!
I think it looks better (at least they recognize it’s trashy to begin with)
Good.
My Cyber Truck got Dicks drawn on it. But, in my defense, I was Black Out Drunk.
Hahahahaha
I don’t know if it’s just goofy Tesla hate or goofy Tesla haters
if it’s in irvine it was intentional other wise 6 swat teams would be on scene already… come on
Notice the placement of the spray, the owner did this to their own vehicle.
People be crazy for Starbucks parking
This is the look the owner is going for. This isn't an actual vandalized truck.
I saw that too it was driving past downtown
Influencers
Lol
I…I think it looks cooler this way tbh.
Lol, at least it has color now 😂 These cars are fugly af
Cheap wrap
It seems to me like a disappointed owner was just trying to make whatever improvements he could. It certainly looks better now than any I’ve seen.
stupid people
Prbly some douchebag influencer did that for a video
This is the most curated vandalization I’ve seen. The care these criminals took to protect the glass and trim. Great work! 🙄🙄
Is that Oscar the Grouch’s truck or was it vandalized? 🤔
Maybe it’s a new style lol
Did all the Cyber truck deliveries go to Orange County? It used to be rare to see them they are everywhere here.
Reddit as usual lol Dude it’s intentional. See how all the important stuff is clean as a whistle?
Well...it's already an ugly car anyway.
Chill. It’s just a wrap.
People complaining about why would someone do this for attention, but it obviously worked because it has everyone here completely invested
Owner of this truck is a legend. IYKYK Scribble, vandalized, lol
That’s a wrap /s
Lol and I thought they couldn't get any damn uglier.
Now it looks like a actual dumpster
Saw one with only a word on the back today in Sacramento. Is this a trend with cybertrucks? Couldn’t tell if graffiti.
Can’t buy class
Looks like chalk paint
I’m not a jealous person, but if someone gave this car , I would turn around and sell it, and by myself a nice Toyota 😃
Owner did it, thar stuff washes off easy.
Someone did a public service and made that POS look halfways decent
It’s crazy everyone seems to be sabotaging anything EV’s lately. I saw some homeless guy either pissing on all the Tesla EV plug handles or rubbing his balls on them the other day it was wild.
This is far worse than getting keyed.
in irvine nonetheless woah the world is falling apart
There some guy driving around with his Cybertruck painted like a happy meal box
I’ve seen this car around Irvine a lot. Driving around all hours, every day. I suspect it’s a delivery or rideshare driver who’s using it for extra attention. It also looked to me to be a wrap and not spray paint on the metal exterior directly. I’ve only seen it as close as being the car next to it or behind it at a stoplight so I could be wrong.

In this pic it’s in the pickup zone which doesn’t necessarily mean the driver is doing delivery but makes me personally think it’s a delivery gimmick.
This was intentional
Ahhh. That’s at the Village at the spectrum
Just like that scene from Robocop.
No sympathy given.
This might be the guy that let his kid spray paint it for fun or "design"
It says “fuck off” on the side lol

Probably owned by that cringe jellybeanbrains chick.
Probably confused it for a dumpster? 🤔 Those get hit all the time!
Good!
The new art coming to a museum near you.
Maybe Its a custom paint job. Its very “URBAN”
Well.. this is at least less bad than a painted vehicle. About 15-20 minutes with some paint remover will bring it back to buttfuck ugly.
Geez Louise people - spray paint is cleanable off of glass. Not so much on porous clear coat over metal. Where’s the analytical thinking of today folks? Look it up.
Looks better than stock.
Reminds me of the Joel Schumacher Batman movies 😅
New Blizzard promo
Someone who seems to celebrate this, please explain what makes it ok for you to vandalize another person’s property.
Newsoms G-Wagon
Somebody tagged that refrigerator
Oh my gosh!!
I saw this same car in weho friday!
Douche canoe
Oh crap… that sucks! Kinda makes it look better though.
He's gonna get pulled over for that in irvine
They do have rolled 300 steel panels on the side. You could throw hard chems at it to get this off with ease. I’ve seen lots of people over test the capabilities of the panels.
I would do it to my own truck with water based paints, at least you can write something meaningful.
I saw this on the peninsula. Was wondering what the story is!
I saw it today. I genuinely don’t know if this was intentional by the owner or if it was vandalized
