I hate concept cars.

"We could make it look like this, but we really only will make it look like a Civic."

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.

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.

Well... We did get Tesla Cybertruck... If that doesn't look like a concept car then I do not know what it looks like. At least the exterior.

Not saying is a good or bad car, the feedback I hear is bad but I do not have one so... Not gonna say.
