Can you imagine getting in or out in a pouring rain storm?
They better have a bilge pump as OEM.
Going to a Drive-Thru would be "interesting"
Beautiful lines to it; Buck Rodgers dash, and no roll down windows.

What's up with the red glass? Is that so the passengers can pretend they are on Mars? Seems really dumb to me. And the battery charge status gauge is on the exterior of the body instead of inside the cockpit! Holy Cow. That means if the driver want to check the charge level of the battery, he has to stop the car, get out and walk around to where the gauge is located.

Man, that goes waaaaaay beyond stupid.

I'm surprised (shocked, really) they would show this concept car with all these obvious design flaws. There are probably more that we can't see.

If it comes in less than the T-Rex, and for those that can afford it, this looks like a winner.
I'd carry a step stool if needed to have the opportunity to own and get in-'n-out.
Not a consideration for me, unless it were to come in the color never to be spoken

You have to step on the seats and then do a knee-bend to slither into driving position -- reminds me of climbing into a single scull back in my rowing days -- you had to put your right foot on the 1" wide keel, knee bend while extending the left leg, slower yourself onto the tiny sliding seat, then extend your right leg onto the footrest.

Imagine if it's raining and you step into your lovely Trezor seats, leaving muddy footprints to ruin your St. Laurent slacks .... oh, wait, it never rains on those who own Trezors ....

You're assuming that it's the only one. And you're right, that would be dumb. However, I would bet quite a bit of money that it's *not* the only one. Instead, it is intended as an externally readable charge meter which allows you to read the charge level without having to get inside the car and turn it on. Which is smart. Especially given the apparently stupid way you have to get in.
