It’s the most aerodynamic vehicle ever made for mainstream production, so that’s why it looks a bit odd. But it’s amazing they’ll send you the 3D printing data so you can print replacement parts!
Their “car” is a fiberglass body on a motorcycle based frame. I think it will technically register as a motorcycle, while working out manufacturing they are also dealing with that legality so that people don’t have to wear helmets while driving it. So it’s super light, and super aerodynamic. The 1000 mi thing is also a bit of marketing glass as it’s a very specific use case that allows it to charge quite a lot of from the solar panel during that 1000 miles. Think like 100 miles a day over 10 days. It’s still going to suit a specific set of drivers almost perfectly and be a great commuter/grocery getter. IF they ever make it to mass production.

They claim 30% power usage relative to current vehicles and 1000mi range. Sounds very cool though I admit I’m a bit skeptical. Hope they can do it!

Same, I want to be proven wrong but it looks like a pie in the sky product. Plus it needs to be road legal in my state, we shall see!
Whoa. That’s news to me, but it’s fucking awesome!
