Tesla Cybertrucks Vandalized During Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans

The incident highlights growing hostility toward Tesla vehicles, with no updates from police on the investigation.

Two Tesla Cybertrucks were severely damaged during the Orpheus parade at Mardi Gras in New Orleans as parts of the crowd turned hostile.
The vandalism involved throwing heavy objects, including Mardi Gras beads and beer cans, causing broken glass panels and damage to custom wraps, with repair costs estimated in the thousands.
The Cybertruck owners, Joshua Hazel and Christina G., reported the vandalism to the New Orleans Police Department, but no updates on the investigation have been provided.
The attacks included verbal insults linking Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk to political tensions, reflecting the vehicle's polarizing cultural symbolism.
This incident is part of a broader trend of anti-Tesla actions across the U.S., including recent arson attacks on Tesla facilities in Las Vegas.
