Futuristic-looking , but impractical design.

Looks like there are too many blind spots, even with sensors. If it has a rear window, visibility by the driver will be nil and car will need an always on rear-facing camera.

Auto insurance for it could be sky high. If it’s too costly to repair, expect insurers to total the car, even for minor accidents, as I’ve read about the Tesla Y.

It's literally built for aerodynamic efficiency. I don't think you know what "practical design" means. There are a lot of criticisms about the design one can make. Unpractical is not one of them.

I live and drive in the real world. In the real world, there is more to practical design than aerodynamic efficiency.

Another responder said it will have a rear-facing camera, an essential safety feature that you omitted.

There literally is nothing more practical than aerodynamic efficiency when the intent of the car is to maximize driving distance per watt hour. Literally not a single thing more practical. Not one.

Edit: Lol, you threw a little pout and blocked me over this. What a thin skinned crybaby. No wonder you freak out over nonsense. They always love to throw out their little last whine before they block too. So cliché.

So, it doesn’t matter whether a car is a potential safety hazard; or, whether Insurance companies have a habit of totaling every wrecked car of this design.

The launch edition configuration will have full solar (including the rear hatch) and thus won't have a rear window. But it will have a rear-facing camera.

Later, there will be other configurations.
