Interesting. I hope it works out but I’m a bit skeptical that the conventional car chassis is practical for solar power barring some big improvements in technology. It just doesn’t have enough surface area compared to its weight and drag profile. If they pull it off that would be great but I’m skeptical they can build such a car at that price point.
