Saw the news picture of the Zhurong Chinese Mars rover with it's solar panels swung out.
Pretty messy build quality of you ask me, especially with @amirm 's favourite self adhesive zip tie mounts and blue zip ties!
And what's with the joystick with RGBY markings? Who operates that to open and close the panels? Matt Damon (The Martian)!
And when the panels are closed the joystick is hidden. Bad design language there.
Zoomed in:
