first, and less importantly, your wheels are gyroscopes

second, and much more importantly, at speed you use your steering to compensate for imbalance. You lean a little right? slight steering to the right compensates. When standing still, steering is no longer an option (duh)

I'm sorry to be that guy, but in the prologue to the book, theres a whole section titled "Concerning Pipe-weed", where Tolkien talks about how the plant spread around middle-earth, and specifically mentions it's a type of tobacco.

not being wrapped in a $5000 clear coat.

This is such bullshit though. Deloreans were built with uncoated 304 stainless steel (think, same as in food grade stainless stuff), and with all their other issues, rust is not one of them.

If Teslas rust, they chose the wrong steel, the end.
