That's ideal conditions, so very few people would actually see that. If you don't have somewhere to charge, you can typically charge up at somewhere like a supermarket.

I'll believe that when I see it.

There's also things like Sentinel mode on Teslas that use power.

My main gripe is people think a solar car will never need to be charged, or only on trips, and that's just not the case.

There's something that people really fail to grasp with solar, and that's the fact there is bugger all energy in the sun, and you need a huge surface area to get any meaningful energy.

A home solar array often takes up a significant chunk of the roof area, and the amount of surface area a car typically has means that even perfectly efficient solar panels wouldn't collect enough energy to significantly contribute to the vehicle's range.

There's a good reason why vehicle manufacturers don't bother adding them.

Even in locations where you are required to give notice, you can just pay out the notice period.

Someone who isn't a pedant would interpret "using the OS" as going through the start menu, or equivalent.

I wonder how many people will just have the thing upside down?

Tesla sell everything except the Cybertruck in right hand drive, so I think it's a fair comparison.
