Yes, the Schlörwagen is 0.18 for the actual working car. The 0.13 number was for a development model. A model of the Mercedes Bionic (Boxfish) was 0.095 -- it had wheels, but lacked seams, etc., and apparently scale models are always lower than the full size car.

The Aptera 2e is 0.15; and also the Edison2 Very Light Car is also 0.15. And of course the EV-1 was 0.19, so I'm guessing the Dolphin is ~0.15 now, and it may improve with a few more tweaks, like wheel strakes in front of all four tires.

Maybe, the Dolphin will have video mirrors?
