The company has announced it will be pressing charges for vandalism against its Superchargers, as backlash against Elon Musk continues.

Dr. Kumait Jaroje said someone put a profane sticker on his gold Cybertruck. When he posted a photo of it on social media he told police he started getting threats online.

A growing sense of buyer's remorse is emerging among owners of the distinctive pickup who do not want to be associated with Elon Musk's public antics.

The Trump administration is set to buy $400 million worth of Cybertrucks, which is good news for Tesla as it's been struggling to offload the units.

The State Department claimed a plan to buy thousands of armored Teslas was left over from the Biden administration. A document obtained by NPR shows the Biden plan was far smaller.

All the weird listings aside, the State Department is, according to available documents, potentially going to buy $400 million in what appears to be Cybertrucks and armor for Cybertrucks—causing a bevy of potential conflicts of interest. As Gizmodo notes, that does not mean the contract has yet been awarded.

The department said via email that it has not awarded Tesla — or any manufacturer — a contract to produce armored electric vehicles.

Tesla’s financial tale, however, has taken a turn since Trump took the oath of office with Tesla stock down over 17% since Jan. 21, as of midday Friday. Just weeks before the inauguration, Tesla reported the first full-year drop in global sales in its history as a public company, according to a report from CNN.
