Yeah I saw that spec option. Honestly the solar roof stuff seems really gimmicky to me. They mentioned that the battery holds 106 kWh. I don't know what the solar roof produces, but an average panel on top of a house creates something like 2 kWh per day.
So having a solar roof on your car would likely take something like 50 days of sunshine to charge to full. I mean, it's not nothing, but definitely not a practical solution for charging for 99%+ of the population.
On most cars it's not very useful. The Aptera is so light and efficient they say you can get up to about 40 miles per day of charge with solar panels that are rated at 700W and I think they've already verified this on their production models. I would guess on the Telo you would get about 10. Not super useful in most situations, but pretty cool.
