Build the car, deliver it to customers, then you can start claiming record this or record that.
PS I just re-read the quote. They said "Lightyear One will likely be the most aerodynamic car available in the market." Of course the VW XL1 is available on the market, just used (although the few that have shown up are actually still actually new with like 10 miles on the odometer). So they say "likely" and they actually mean "new market".
