Overview
- Quintar’s Cybertruck, which drew viral attention at Congress on Wednesday, was later towed because it lacked a license plate that allows it to circulate and was sent back toward Jujuy.
- The national vehicle registry DNRPA says the truck is in the process of receiving a definitive Argentine plate under private import procedures.
- Quintar confirmed the pickup is his, said he bought it in the U.S. for about $126,000 with banked funds, called the purchase part of a cultural battle, and said the move was legal and declared.
- Following Friday’s media defense from President Javier Milei, Quintar offered to donate the Cybertruck for presidential use in a public post on X.
- Reporting notes fewer than ten Cybertrucks in Argentina and estimates private imports can cost $250,000 to $300,000 after taxes and logistics, while the episode renewed scrutiny of Quintar’s asset filings and health‑sector ties under preliminary complaints.
