    Yeah, I’ve seen some from Serbia that are just bribed plates that have gotten impounded in Germany and UK.

    Sadly in Norway there’s an exception for any US or Canadian legal vehicle that has been registered for at least 6 months in US/Canada that makes it so it can be brought to Norway and registered fully legal, with no modifications.

    You then abuse the fact that Schengen regulations say that anything road legal in a Schengen country is road legal in any other Schengen country, and boom you can register a 6month old Cybertruck in any Schengen country.

      Damit. But at least they must be still roadsafe to german standards. If on the road. But then, the cops must prove that they are unsafe for each individual one. Much paperwork, and german cops hate paperwork

        At least there’s a significant barrier of entry with the cost, you’re not gonna get it road legal under 150k EUR.

        So hey, we get some taxes out of it.
