Estimated damages range from $1.9 to $2.72 million.
Fort Lauderdale Police launched an investigation after receiving a report on Friday morning.
Most damage was from spray paint, which was largely cleaned off but left some black lettering marks.
Tesla quickly restored the Cybertrucks to their original condition, thanks to the vehicle's stainless steel exterior.
The motivation behind the act is unclear, possibly reflecting growing dissatisfaction with Musk and Tesla or just a prank.
The incident has sparked debate about the electric vehicle industry, and Musk's controversial figure.
Musk recently won approval for a $56 billion Tesla pay package from shareholders.
