    I would assume it’s not a real car. It’s wearing a car shell and has functional wheels. I think a proper ev weight about 2 tonnes or something like that. This one is probably just functional for display purposes only.

      Yeah, they said it’s about 1.7 tonnes. They’ve also shown off the drivetrain, battery pack, etc in separate displays. Idk, I think it probably is pretty similar to what they plan on selling (to a limited number of selected people apparently)

      I’m sure all versions of the car aren’t ready for real world use and manufacturing or else they would be selling it already

      Edit: it doesn’t seem like Tesla R&D has done much else in the past 8 years lol. They have a ton of time, money, and manpower and it does not surprise me that they’re willing to spend it on cool but stupid stunts
