On a 24k car they've either gotten the price of the body panels pretty low or this is a loss leader. my hope is the former. If this car can live up to its promise this is exactly what I want as a city dweller that drives 200 miles a week.

The article said they reduced costs by not using glass for the solar panels, and by limiting the color options to a single color.

I don't know anything about car manufacturing, but that seems logical I guess. The car is ugly, but $25k for an EV with 190 mile range seems like a pretty sweet deal, even if the solar panels turn out to be a useless gimmick.
