The company says it has raised enough capital to continue working on its second model, the much more affordable Lightyear 2, which is supposed to have a starting price of around $40,000 in the United States.
No, it doesn’t. Just because something ‘appears’ to make sense to laymen, doesn’t mean it continues to make sense when you follow through with an investigation.
It doesn’t make sense. If your goal is to make a crappier version of both a solar panel and a car, sure. But the amount of power you are going to get from the tiny amount of panels you can put into a car versus the massive power consumption they require is negligible. All your assumption shows is that you understand neither solar panels, nor cars.
Cars are an inconvenient and silly location to place solar panels. This concept is just adding engineering complexity that need not be.
Solar modules are cheap, why not integrate them into the car? I’d love to get an extra 6 miles of range on my leaf per day just for being in the sun.
Idk, it’s a device that’s already fitted with huge batteries, so it makes sense to put them on something that can be charged
sigh…

Man, you’re probably right, but you’re condescending as hell.
You should see a therapist.
