The point of concept cars is to throw in all your idea essentially and hoping something sticks. Love it or hate it, but a lot of car innovations have happened because of concept cars. Keyless entry, aerodynamic design, led lighting, collision avoidance system etc.

I hate concept cars.

Well… We did get Tesla Cybertruck… If that doesn’t look like a concept cart and I do not know what it looks like. Not saying is a good or bad car, the feedback I hear is bad but I do not have one so… Not gonna say.

It doesn’t help that their concept cars don’t adhere to a number of mandatory roadway safety regulations, and they are showing off a $30k car that’s made with $150k of materials.

Economies of scale brother. No concept car is ever going cost the same as a manufactured car.

That’s not the point. The point is that the concept car was a lie.

Giant class, gull wing doors, dashboard robotics, full dash OLEDs panels. You’re looking features and components that best a Model X / Cyber Truck. If they can get that down to a Honda level price range, that would be dope, but I have my doubts. A lot of things are all features that you get in cars that start at $80k… and this is more elaborate.
And, more importantly, this wouldn’t even be street legal. Mirrors, markers, etc. This was never intended to be what ships.
