i wish the whole car was covered in solar panels so that when its not in use or parked outside, it can slowely recharge. or even get some power from them while its driving.
Yeah, because that's what every performance car owner wants: a bunch of solar panels all over the exterior.
I mean forget about the fact that a $100,000 car is probably going to be kept garaged 99% of the time. The whole point of this thing is that it makes *no compromises*. It's the first electric car that's got the performance of a real sports car, and the looks to match. It is designed to make electric cars cool, which in turn will hopefully help their adoption.
Installing a bunch of solar panels would make it just another nerdmobile.

@ jeff, i guess the goal should be to create solar panels that attain form and function then?

Putting heavy batteries in a "real sports car" is the ultimate compromise.
