I hope they ran it through spell check before they hit print.
Typos would be costly.

If the 2500 hour number in the story is not a misprint, that means it takes 104 days nonstop to generate the body?

FDM and 3D printing in general is a rapid prototyping tool. Anyone who thinks we will see low-cost parts and products make by 3D printing will need to start by printing off a time machine. Sure the process will become faster but as Scotty famously said “ye canna break the lawsa physics!”

Three wheels means that it can be licensed as a motorcycle. I would love one.

It needs a satin interior. They can just use it as your coffin after you take it on the highway

the car uses a three-wheel chassis.
The two front wheels are driven and
the single-rear wheel does the steering.
the most famous use of this wheel configuration was
Richard Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller’s Dymaxion car of 1933

three wheelsUhhh, we have a design problem. I have been on 3 wheel motor cycles and they are not stable. 110 MPH on 3 wheels, not only no, but H/NO.

Anytime you see the words “sustainable “ and “vehicle “ in the same sentence, you can almost guarantee the rest of the text was written by some crackpot.
