Two Tesla Cybertrucks have been seized by the authorities in Lithuania because the cars were on their way to Russia, which is not allowed to import this type.
The authorities in Lithuania have seized two Tesla Cybertrucks on the border with Belarus. The cars were, the authorities believe, on their way to Russia.
And because of international sanctions against the Putin regime in Moscow, they are not allowed to. Still, a sea of Russians is trying to circumvent the sanctions.
Among other things, because the country's motorists are quite tired of the fact that now only local, Russian brands and Chinese cars are present in the country. That is, officially.
However, the motorists persistently try to smuggle cars across the borders from Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in particular.
