Tesla, they can almost drive from A to B autonomously but you can jack one in less than two minutes. That makes no sense.
@OConnelj: money laundering not stolen. Not sure what the scam is but I’d say something along the lines of going over to the UK and buying them with dirty money, coming back and selling them here, possibly through various traders first to muddy the trail.
Wow, a Tesla, it’s 2021 folks!, green gangsters
Thank God I didn’t have a deposit on one of those cars or even worse bought one only to have it reposessed ….they were advertised for sale only a few days ago.
€38,000 each Not exactly high spec?
@Great White Hope: Does a car need to be expensive to be high spec? You can buy a high spec car for €20k.
@Great White Hope: exactly the type of cars that you want to be moving along to layer money into the banking system legitimately.
That’s a money laundering works.
@Great White Hope: well it’s not exactly a Toyota Corolla or fiat punto. But high spec enough for the money laundering game.
have your say
