did I get it wrong? he said if you don't drive this car for a week then it will be fully charged.. that solar roof takes a week to charge and you only get to drive 40 miles.. what??

Imagine ordering a 'car' and 6 years later...no car. Oh, maybe in 6 more years? Great management here. Lots of promises...nothing. Sound familiar? Next.

So they designed this entire vehicle and claim they are going to build it this year and haven't crash tested even one? I think you guys need to do some better reporting. No way I'm taking my kid to school in that thing.

Someone’s gonna try and kill or disappear or run this kid out of town and it’ll be one of these gas tycoons or some CEO of a regular ass 20th century car manufacturer. Nikola Tesla was ran out and bankrupted after he tried to give people wireless energy. For us to now have to pay utility companies crazy money because they control the pipeline. Now this kid gives us the option to give a middle finger to gas companies. They’re gonna try to kill em or somethin. Watch… This kid needs protection. And we have got to stay paying attention. Someone’s gonna try to get him some way somehow.

Trump will outlaw them in the United States of America but if he does allow them he'll want them made in India or Mexico or both 😂

When I reserve mine three years ago, the price was going to start at under $30,000 for 250 mile range. So much for that.

It's not solar powered. It's battery powered like any EV. It is solar charged a few miles/day when there is sun.

For only $40k.
