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.
