They don’t have 4 wheel drive and locking differentials????

I’m pretty sure each wheel has it’s own electric motor so there is no differential necessary... seems like as we know the moon is all soft dust it would’ve been prudent to send a tracked vehicle.

They don’t have low pressure, big wheel paddle tires.

Electric propulsion always sends the power to the most effective wheels.

Posi Rear?

...or how about like I recall from a Bob & Ray spoof radio ad for a parking garage attendant driving school, "GUN THE MOTOR THEN SLAM 'ER IN REVERSE LIKE I LEARNED YA!"
