Well we are talking about Australia here, lots of weird shit, like a turtle that breathes though it's butt. A cassowary, basically a velociraptor. Saltwater crocs. Animals that exist to to fuck you up. Having to extend the UV and need to 17, because saying it's 12+ everywhere isn't enough. I can completely understand how an Australian might thing a EV would just burst in to flames, it's probably the least weird thing they have experienced that day
