The lunar rover folds up for storage.

Where did they put it and how did they take it out?

It folds up so they wouldn't have to tow it on a special trailer...

more proof of no scientific background. perspective and convergence. look it up. postings like yours should cause you to ask yourself: I wonder why so many conservatives and myself believe in so many conspiracy theories?. possible answer. anti-government stance has clouded their judgement. and refuse to believe the gov't could do anything. or level of education. no scientific background.

I find it interesting that term (invented by the CIA in 63) is still being used against anyone that doesn't agree with the narrative by MSM, the Government, etc. to discredit dissenting views even today when most of them have been proven to be true. 
  

BTW there's a pic of EV's in China like the one above that can't be recycled and too expensive to change the batteries to be worthwhile.

OK Steve I'll "take the bait" on this one 
"Can't be recycled" - why ? approx 80% of a modern vehicle can be recycled (vehicle recycling is a $25 billion industry in the US) and China along with Japan are two of the biggest buyers of recyclable steel in the world.
"too expensive to change the batteries" - Why ? BYD (the manufacturer of the vehicles mentioned) is one of the biggest manufacturers of re-chargeable batteries in the world (even before they produced EV's)
Do they "register" vehicles to distort "market share" numbers ? - of course they do, as does every other vehicle manufacturer in the world (when I worked in dealerships we where periodically instructed to register vehicles and then sell them as "low mileage used" by the brand who paid the depreciation). However given that the home market is only responsible for approx 20% of EV sales in China I don't think 10k vehicles is going to impact their "world sales" figures greatly. 
Call me cynical but I have an issue buying s*"t from a guy who makes his living feeding the China haters of the world with his weekly vlog !!!!!! (I don't have any feelings one way or the other regarding China, in the main they produce cheap crap and it's your choice if you buy it)
I think you spend too much time worrying about s@*t you can't influence, if you're not careful that "nameless" "covert" "off the books" government agency that Hollywood love will succeed in their "agency sanctioned mission" to give you a heart attack

All I can say is if you only get your information from MSM or the Government you will only get what they want you to know. 
As for recycling EV's it's the batteries that are the problem. Wind turbines? They are being stored like the EV's in the pics or buried in land fills. A simple search will bring that up if not buried by GOOGLE. 
The truth always comes out in the end.

Not going to get drawn into it Steve, we seem to be treading a familiar path. You're way "too smart" for me

    You said "I'll take the bait on this one" so I responded to you. Being "familiar is a relative term of which I don't agree. 
"Smart" can have duel meanings and is often used incorrectly.   
Usually there is more than one side of a story. I like to look at all of them then decide even then I could be wrong. 
That's using discernment.
