The shape might be fine from an aerodynamic viewpoint, it's a dog from a practical PoV.

Adding wheels is problematic - both from an aero viewpoint (see above) as well as from a practical viewpoint (see Aptera).
The shape is very complex to build.
The shape has little internal volume, and even less practically useful volume.
The shape is awkward in everyday vehicle use.
