So this futuristic thing is a... semi-real vehicle. Aptera is an EV startup producing a three-wheeled aerodynamic car with solar panels embedded on the top of the body. Claims include a range of 1000 miles and its apparently on the path to production after years of development and different failed projects - the thing is odd looking enough that I kinda hope it does hit the streets for real

A car with solar panels on it sounds like a great idea... until you get a big city or a really long tunnel. Still, you're right, the thing DOES look cool.

If I recalled on reading about it, the solar panels were more a benefit once you hit the rural areas and couldn't charge it. If you lived in the city, then you'd just plug it in like a normal EV.
