Border @ King Hussein Bridge, Israel-side
Jordan-side. We're being asked whether we are diplomats. That might have been because many Teslas in Jordan belong to the government. Everything was unproblematic here. We had to pay around 40 USD in local currency for the local car insurance. The company the car is insured with in Germany/Europe fortunately added Jordan to the list of insured countries, just for this car, just for this particular trip, as an exception. So the local insurance was of no value to us, but required to enter the country. Also, at this point I'd like to thank Tesla employee Mrs. F. K. at Tesla Frankfurt, because without her sending all the docs over via E-Mail we would surely still be sitting in the Ashdod customs office today.
Cheering! We're in Jordan.
Elon is happy, too. By the way, less than 5 km into Jordan I already saw the first Nissan Leaf. I almost couldn't believe it.
