The article didn't address why Daimler rented the car instead of purchasing it. Were they just being cheap? Was stock of the car unavailable? Did they anticipate counterespionage from Tessa if they purchased a unit above board?
- steve_adams_86 9y agoMy best guess was that they couldn't get their own car on the necessary schedule (I have the impression you can't just go ahead and buy one and have it inside of a week, but it could just be a stock issue like you suggested), so maybe they were willing to face the consequences of repairing a rental instead of delaying. Perhaps they had a short window of time to work with special people/equipment. Definitely an interesting story.
