Cybertruck defaced during Winnipeg Folk Festival

RCMP are searching for the person who wrote a profanity on a Tesla Cybertruck with a marker during the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

Oakbank RCMP received a complaint about the incident late Monday morning. The vehicle was parked at Birds Hill Provincial Park during the event, RCMP said in a news release Thursday. The music festival started July 10 and ended Sunday.

An RCMP spokeswoman would not say what the obscenity was but clarified two words, which were not political or racial in nature, were written on the driver’s side back panel.

Police said they are seeking to identify a female suspect. They released two images and asked anyone with information about the suspect to contact Oakbank RCMP at 204-444-3847, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online.

Myles Bennett — the general manager of Nott Autocorp, which sells and services Tesla vehicles — said it was “brutal that happened to (an) owner of (a) Cybertruck.

“We have not (been) hearing a ton about issues with Tesla owners. I have a few buddies with them, and I have asked, but they’re left alone,” he said.
