NEWTOWN TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- A Tesla Cybertruck was vandalized while the owner ate inside a nearby restaurant on Sunday in Bucks County.

The vehicle's own recording system captured the vandalism occurring around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday in a Newtown Township shopping center.

Police confirmed the owner filed a report on Sunday and they are investigating.

Action News blurred the faces in the video. The alleged vandals appear to be juveniles.

After one makes a crude gesture to the Cybertruck, another drags something along the side of the vehicle leaving behind a mark.



The act of vandalism caught on camera began making the rounds on social media Sunday night.

The owner filed a report with Newtown police. The police chief confirms they are investigating.

Investigators don't know the motive behind this particular act of vandalism.

However, Tesla vehicles continue to be a target for vandals as founder Elon Musk continues to work in the Trump Administration leading DOGE.
