* You will recoup the $2000 in reduced electricity costs.

* People without home electricity are exactly the market for this car.

* Who is suffering exactly by offering this as an option ?

$2000 of electricity would take these cars 40 years to generate. Their warranty will be up in 4 years, and they will be in the scrap yard by 15 years, at best.

Two grand in electricity from a couple square meters of panel will take an incredibly long time. Like an idiotically long time. This is a scam marketing ploy and nothing more.
