You seem to think everyone lives the same life as you.

Many people don't have a roof, or don't have permission to put solar on them.

Many people drive very little per day on average, for them in makes absolute sense to have a vehicle which will trickle charge directly from the sun and cover most (if not all) their driving.

This car obviously isn't for you if you have a suitable roof and driveway, and drive many miles at one time.

If you care for your can you will not want to leave it in open sun for extended periods, especially when you live in lower latitudes where this car would have more sense.

Stuff deteriorates in open sun and high temperature and this applies to batteries. If you are cash strappend and own an EV then the batteries are going to be your focus as keeping them alive for as long as possible is going to largely determine your cost of owning the car.

All people I know that can't put their car in a garage will try to find shade. And that's in Poland where sun is never directly above.

I purchased a car last year and have yet to put on 3,000 miles this year since I started working from home. (And I took a day trip with it).

I live in an apartment with a garage, but I use it for storage and don't mind parking my car outside. (I don't care about leaving my car in the sun and I live in a Southern state where it gets hot)

I'd consider buying something like this if it was a little more mature (Maybe in a future/cheaper Tesla model) simply because I love the idea of leaving my car out so it can stay charged.

We don't all think like you and your neighbors.

Couple of potential users does not yet form a valid business case.

Cars are expensive to develop. If you want to offer an affordable car you must have a lot of potential customers.
