Seeing comments nitpicking the body shape... it's the exact body shape it needs to be to get rich investors to finance it and tech bros to buy it. Smart move.
They can expand to sedans and SUVs later.
I think it's more to maximize surface area for solar power generation.
There's nothing inhibiting their engineers from designing sedan and SUV bodies with comparable surface areas.
I doubt it generates enough energy either way. If that mattered they'd put in a long ass trunk as well.
