Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Don't want this to be misconstrued as a criticism, but what was the reasoning behind going with this wheel design? Seems like even a modest rubberization would have allowed the rover to go hundreds or thousands of miles before damage. Is the environment really that harsh? UV rays would have disintegrated the rubber? Might Google later.

I want a car from the company who made the Rover.

Single owner! Lightly used! You must come and pick it up, no delivery is available.
