That's what I saw as well John. I understand kinetic energy and can
understand the theory of the bolts inside the tires...but when they
stop? Uhhhhh....that's kinda pushin' it.

While I too at first shared your enthusiasm, there was one glaring error
in the film that proved this was NOT done in real time as claimed.
Unless someone can show me how a tire, which comes to a near stop at the
bottom of the ramp, can accelerate unaided UP HILL, I have to declare
BS! It was done with CGI. While a very good and entertaining commercial,
it's not as ground breaking as many would like for us to believe.

just my .02
