what do you mean? I was under the impression that the reason they went to an open wheel well on the new vlc was so that they could have stationary wheel pods for safety compliance. and having the wheel open allows people to customize their car more which is a selling point.

Am I wrong about this? it seems like making body work that moves is a lot more complicated which adds cost.
