The crazy thing is people love Elon....

But his vehicles are just getting bigger and bigger. (see the new SUVs)
The energy to charge them has to come from somewhere.

The vast majority of cars on the road have just 1-2 passengers riding.

These Aptera vehicles use about 15% of the power per mile as Teslas do, so with just 700W panels they can charge enough per day to give a 40 mile range to top up the battery.
Even in countries with limited sunshine you still get a lot of free miles every day.
With Teslas, panels never made as much sense as you only get a few miles of solar charge per day.
