Now imagine they just built this out of stamped steel and could have sold it for <$35k. It probably would have dropped about 10% of the gas mileage... say 108mpg instead of 120.

But that would have taken the quantum leap of real tooling and intent to make it a real production car, not what is essentially a one-off demonstrator. Yes. they made 250, but what that really means is each one was basically hand made.
