Yes, I think it is just a "quick" model on that bit. They may have been concentrating on the body?
Curly, the A/C is standard (it IS being sold in CA, after all!). The related option is for the solar PV panel on the roof to ventilate the inside while parked.
I think that the most aerodynamic and efficient vehicle (IF they ever build it!) is worth the $27K or so. You would get a $7.5K tax credit and possibly other credits.
They say that this version improved the drag by ~9% so it is down from 0.15 to ~0.135? It did grow in section area, so hopefully we'll get more details soon enough.
Also, there is a recent picture of a funky mule -- the pregnant belly and scoop above the windshield make me think it is a development prototype of either the hybrid version or the promised gasoline version:
The black bit behind the scoop is a rear view video camera, and the nose looks pretty strange, too...
