...and paper that says "Enjoy the rust, swasticar" on the windshield

Seen in Prague-Karlín, about 30 m away from that other mildly vandalized vehicle. Looking up the licence plate, the owner's full name seems to be Igor Norton Tesla Slovák and it's the first Cybertruck in the country, so he must have spent lots of money importing it and modding it (and bribing officials?) to pass registration.

Yes, Prague is inexplicably car-brained for how dense the public transport network is.

Does it still start up after getting wet?

I imagine it does but I haven't visited the place since.

Apparently another Czech Cybertruck owner tested "Wade mode" by driving into a lake near Bratislava, and got temporarily stuck.

Another got their car towed (I wonder why, they already had a licence) and caused damage to a Prašná brána tower scaffolding.

So the Teslas have idiot owners but they seem to be holding up for now.

Huh, I wonder if they did peroxide, vinegar, and salt to try to induce rust.

I didn't smell anything like that. Not even urine. But I have a bit of a runny nose because of the pollen.

Yep, I read about him last year. You're correct in that he had to remodel some parts to make it save for public roads.
