A bunch of people ordered multiple - either for their business or out of the idea they'd run robotaxi fleet. And others believed they should hedge their bets unlike those this year who suffered am accidents and their car...
Well, mine doesn't care if it's laid down. Only fluid is brake. And yes, you can take wheels off, it's just a bit to put them back on. It's not a simple thing, no. Heck, I hate that my alignment on my mountain bike has to be re-done every time I do it, too.
