Illuminati Motor Works 200-mpg-e EV

This is a Aging Wheels, YouTube video: Seven is a Hyper-Efficient Home Built EV Built for the X-Prize', from November 5, 2023.
In this video, the owner associates Cd 0.22 with the car, compared to Cd 0.165, back in 2012 when it competed in the X-Prize, 4-passenger class.
At 200-mpg-e, and 6-miles per kWh, the Seven is in Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX range territory.https://www.google.com/search?q=YouT...qE2a7PHpE,st:0

Cool video. It is a good example of using aerodynamic principles to get low drag.

'example '

Yes, and it has enough 'camera' angles that, I was able to pull some measurements from screen-shots, in order to do some rough dimensional analysis of the car for the first time since 2012.
