I knew I wasn’t fast enough on the trigger, but this one was at least researchable.
Tesla Model S.
That’s the IP address used to update the firmware; molded into the heatsink. The tell was Kamil didn’t ask for an engine in this weeks challenge, since Teslas don’t have engines.
I wish I was that clever!
Lamborghini Diablo SV?
I knew this would be too easy. Good. Next week y’all gonna feel the pain. Get your googles ready…
We’ll be expecting derision for not identifying a flat piece of white sheetmetal.
Someone one would be able to measure the paint thickness through an “enhanced” version of the image, then compare to paint make-up of that particular shade of white, from which they would be able to determine who it was made by. From that they would gather the database of the models with this paint type and color. From those models, all they would have to do is figure which one had a perfectly flat piece of white sheet metal. Too easy.
