I buy and land cars — China, Korea, the Gulf, the US, the EU — into the Balkans.
17 years in this business. Mechanic by trade. Track and rally licences. I don’t review cars from a press seat. I move them.
Right now I can help with:
• stock in Horgoš / Serbia
• factory orders (ZEEKR, Leapmotor and others)
• EU COC vs parallel import
• registration routes when they actually make sense
• kits and options arriving with the car
Tell me the model and where you want to register it. I’ll tell you the real landed cost — or tell you not to buy.
Stock, order, or a second opinion — DM.

I just had a crazy idea! 😂
What if I bought a Cybercab and let it “work” for me in the US, earning money on its own?
Wouldn't that basically give me a steady source of income in America?
And wouldn't it potentially make more money than buying a house and renting it out? 🤔
Tesla is aiming to deliver Cybercab to customers by the end of 2026. Every Cybercab built so far has gone to its own Robotaxi fleet.
Lars Moravy on the Q3 call: "In short, we're trying to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of the year 2026. Obviously we're producing them online in Texas, but all of those are currently going to our own internal Robotaxi fleet."
After watching, go to sleep, good night everyone.

Congratulations, Xiaopeng, anyone want to mention the first Tibargan?
The XPENG X9 becomes the world’s first MPV to secure 5‑star safety ratings from both Euro NCAP 2026 and ANCAP 2026.
Safety is at the heart of every journey. The XPENG X9 is designed to deliver trusted protection for every passenger.

BYD taught cars to swim. Tesla taught cars to fly.
What’s next, a submarine Ferrari? 🤡
I loved Elon’s show. But once the Roadster landed, I wondered:
What the hell is the point?
Tesla vs. Porsche — who has the better vision for driving’s future? 👇
This is one of the cars I’m most excited about this year!
I think the FREELANDER 8 offers outstanding value and competitiveness in its price segment. I’m also very optimistic about its potential to help Land Rover reach a much broader market.
And here’s some good news: while the official international rollout may take some time, we can already arrange exports of the first batch through parallel import channels! 🚗🇨🇳
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me and tell me which country you’d like to register it in. I’ll help you explore the options!
A lot of people have been asking me lately: “Are you a Tesla fanboy?”
My answer is NO.
But here’s something that might surprise you.
No matter which country you live in, if you don’t want to spend hours researching EVs, comparing specifications, studying different brands and figuring out which car actually fits your needs…
Tesla is my No. 1 recommendation. No question.
For most people, it’s one of the safest, simplest choices you can make. You probably won’t regret it.
BUT.
If you believe Tesla is the best car for EVERYONE, that no other EV can be better, and that Tesla should never be questioned…
Then I’m sorry, but you really don’t understand cars. And you probably shouldn’t be giving people buying advice.
The automotive industry is built on engineering, science and technical expertise. It’s not a religion. And car buying shouldn’t be about blind loyalty.
Most people will experience only a tiny fraction of the cars available during their lifetime. That’s perfectly normal.
Share what you know. Share your real ownership experience. I respect that.
But if you haven’t studied the alternatives, haven’t driven many different cars, and haven’t even bothered to test the newer brands and models…
Ask yourself: What exactly qualifies you to tell everyone else which car is the best?
I’m not anti-Tesla. I’m anti-blind loyalty.
Being a fan is fine. Pretending your favorite brand is the only correct answer isn’t.
8 minutes to charge or 15 minutes? 😂
For a lazy guy like me, I’d much rather have a car that handles charging without me lifting a finger.
No getting out. No plugging in. Just park and let it do its thing.
This Li Auto demo is exactly the kind of convenience I want.
Honestly, I’d take this over saving another 5 minutes of charging time. 😂
Anyone else?
The interesting part is not politics. It is that in markets without a domestic car industry to protect, Chinese EVs win on pure value. Same story in Serbia. No tariff wall, so buyers just compare spec sheets and prices, and the result is obvious.
🇨🇳 €8,790! The all-new BYD Seagull has just launched in China!
A bigger, five-seat EV with optional LiDAR and flash charging — 10% to 70% in just 5 minutes on higher trims!
But here’s something more interesting for European buyers. 👇
I actually export Chinese cars to Europe, so let’s do some real-world math.
Shipping three cars together costs us around €8,500 — roughly €2,850 per car.
€8,790 for the car + €2,850 shipping = €11,640 before taxes.
Depending on the destination country’s duties and VAT, a landed cost around €15,000 could be possible, excluding EU countervailing duties, registration and homologation costs.
Even accounting for BYD’s additional 17% EU duty on new Chinese-built EVs, a sub-€20,000 retail price looks achievable in principle with the right supply chain and pricing.
Of course, that’s an estimate, not an actual European offer.
But think about what you’re getting for the money!
If BYD officially launched this new Seagull in Europe, how much would YOU be willing to pay?
€15,000? €17,500? €20,000?
I’m genuinely curious. 🇪🇺
Shipping a new EV from China to Europe is expensive. Dangerous goods fees alone often push the freight over €5,000.
Trying to land a new car under €20,000 is basically impossible.
This Dongfeng Box is the only one I managed to do it with. €19,980. Full COC, can be registered anywhere in Europe. Serbian plates included if you want them.
Profit is too thin. I’m not doing this again.
Only one at this price.
A European-made petrol BMW 7 Series is cheaper in the US than in Europe. (data from @remoteclean)
A European-made electric BMW i7 is cheaper in China than in Europe.
European consumers: do you not see a problem here?
Just finished showing a customer some cars. Now heading home to write another one of my long automotive essays. Hahaha! 😂
Meanwhile, here’s a look at the construction progress of the main venue for EXPO 2027 Belgrade! 🇷🇸
So far, construction seems to be progressing pretty well.
And here’s a little suggestion for those of you with serious investment budgets:
Take a closer look at the area surrounding EXPO 2027 in Belgrade.
Whether you’re considering residential property, land, warehouses, or industrial buildings, I think this area deserves serious attention.
Let’s face it. Even wealthy people are getting tired of Belgrade’s terrible traffic, narrow streets, and aging infrastructure. 😂
I believe the EXPO development, together with the new infrastructure surrounding it, has the potential to create one of Belgrade’s most important new residential and commercial districts.
Personally, if I had enough capital to invest in Belgrade real estate right now, this is definitely one of the first areas I’d investigate.
Of course, location, zoning, infrastructure access, and purchase price still matter. But I strongly believe Belgrade’s next major growth area could emerge around EXPO 2027.
Congratulations to Leapmotor on the opening of its B10 assembly line in Spain! 🇨🇳🇪🇸👏
Now, seriously.
In the eyes of many Chinese consumers, Leapmotor has traditionally been seen as a cheap brand, with rough build quality and sometimes inconsistent quality control.
But here’s the interesting part: the European-spec Leapmotor vehicles I’ve seen are actually surprisingly well built. 🤡
I’ve noticed something similar with BYD. The first time I experienced an overseas-spec BYD, I was genuinely impressed by the difference.
And let’s talk about the B10.
At around €25,000 in Europe, I honestly struggle to find a more competitive electric SUV in its class.
A brand-new, spacious, well-equipped electric SUV at that price?
I expect the B10 to become a major sales success in Europe.
Sometimes Chinese car brands understand what European consumers actually need better than Europeans expect.
🇪🇸🚘 Así vivimos la inauguración de la línea de montaje del Leapmotor B10 en Figueruelas (Zaragoza). Un hito para el grupo Stellantis y también para España. Es el primer modelo de origen y marca china que se producirá en una planta española del grupo 👏⬇️

Want a Chinese car in Europe at a better price? Here’s why you should follow me.
Most people just talk. I actually bring the cars over.
Right now in Belgrade, the best value stock I have in the €20k and €30k range is these two:
Dongfeng Box and Leapmotor C10.
Both ready to go.
大数据天天推房子,你们如果闲了,也帮我看看有没有类似这样的场地!贝尔格莱德周边都行,其他城市如果地段房屋特别合适也可以考虑。我一直想租一个仓库,能布置一个办公室跟洗车房加小展厅。租金合适就搞🫡谢谢各位大佬儿@Arlo_Mind @leahchen1992 @Ronnie_Yue
Been seriously running this account for about ten days now.
Finally hit 500 followers.
I’ll write a short post later about what I’ve learned.
At 1,000 followers I’ll do a giveaway. What should I give away?
Bei dieser viel diskutierten Kombination aus Auto und Fluggerät von XPeng fehlt mir ehrlich gesagt noch die praktische Erfahrung, um sicher sagen zu können, in welchem europäischen Land eine reguläre Einfuhr, Zollabfertigung, technische Abnahme und Zulassung möglich wäre. Bei den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten bin ich mir derzeit deutlich sicherer.
Aber wenn du die Einfuhr, die technische Abnahme und die Zulassung in deinem Land organisieren kannst, dann melde dich bitte unbedingt sofort bei mir! 😄
Ich verspreche dir, dass du eines der allerersten Exemplare weltweit bekommen kannst!
Wir fliegen das Ding einfach per Luftfracht in dein Land und drehen gemeinsam eine absolut verrückte Folge darüber! 🚀😂
Tesla setzt beim neuen Roadster auf Kaltgastriebwerke, um das fliegende Auto möglich zu machen 🚀
XPeng verfolgt eine ganz andere Strategie und integriert ein fliegendes Fahrzeug direkt in ein Auto 🤣🔥
Zwei völlig unterschiedliche Ansätze, eine gemeinsame Vision: Die Zukunft der Mobilität neu erfinden 👀
XPeng ist für mich die chinesische Tesla. Daran besteht kein Zweifel! 🇨🇳⚡
This is a bigger deal than it might seem.
When you import a Chinese-market car into Europe, the hardware can be excellent while the software experience becomes a headache.
Local navigation, app compatibility, accounts and updates matter just as much as horsepower.

Full roundup 👇
I just met the most dedicated Xiaomi YU7 GT buyer I’ve seen so far.
He wants the car so badly that he’s willing to get residency in Czechia just to register it there, because single-vehicle certification in Macedonia is extremely difficult and risky with almost no successful precedents.
Here’s the real cost to land and register this specific YU7 GT in Czechia:
- My purchase price: €56,800
- Shipping: ~€3,200
- Import duty (10%): ~€6,000
- Single-vehicle certification + local adjustments: ~€2,000
- Other costs (trucking, unlock, contingency): ~€2,500
- VAT 21%: ~€14,800
Landed and registered in Czechia: roughly €85,300 before my margin.
What do you think is a fair selling price for this car in Europe right now?
