Allegedly it's all one cut, requiring over 600 takes.

And they do have some kind of gadget to make the tires roll uphill, but they're not real specific about how it's done.

As Menace said, it's in the article that you posted:
"At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. "

That was the coolest car commercial ever. Here is a parallel site for it.

The article does say that they positioned the weight "with fingertip care", but that still does not explain the mechanism.
It is as if they are dropping weight across the uphill side of the wheel so that it pulls that side of the wheel down, then falls off again before the weight hits the bottom of the circle.
That's what I don't understand.

I love it...Rube Goldberg lives!
I especially like the walking windshield wipers.
Definitely worth waiting...and waiting...and WAITING...for it to load (stupid 56k dialup). Thanks, guys, you made my day.
