First of all the average life of a car in the US us 11 years, solar panels should last at least 25 yesrs.

I looked it up and, the average
age for cars in the US is over 12 years. There was no number for for average life, but for humans it's about
twice the average age.
And special cars will of course last longer than ordinary ones - and the Lightyear Zero is very special.

Car roof top solar panels are at a non ideal angle to the sun. Flat sucks. They should of be on a homes roof top.
You want a solar powered car, get roof top solar panels a leaf and save about 200,000 dollars.

Except most days your car isn't at home when the Sun shines, all you are doing is worsening the duck curve. In some places in the world permits for new grid tie systems are being rejected for this reason.
To understand the difference between energy and value think about this: If you burn gasoline at home you can get about three times as much energy out of it than if if you burn it in your car, yet almost everyone burns it in their car instead of their home. How come?
Also ponder this: The solar panels on the Mars rover only produce some fraction of a percent on Mars as they would on Earth, yet the NASA engineers didn't take the panels off the rover and install them on the grid on Earth before they sent it of to Mars, why not?
