How do they know it will get twice the e-mpg? Did they build one and test it?
I mean, they do have it built. Watch the video.

But it makes sense. Take a model 3, reduce its frontal area by 30-40%, reduce its drag coefficient by 42%, reduce its rolling resistance by 1/3, then reduce it again for the weight reduction of a lightweight composite 2 seater and the smaller battery size required because of all the other things.
