With a “fused” one-piece composite shell and beautiful inlaid solar cells, just exactly how are we to swap out a body section or cell when needed to restore the car to its original beauty? If underbody work is needed, how does the car fit on a lift?

CTO Nathan Armstrong asserted in one video interview something to the effect that a small tool kit will be all that is required to disassemble and reassemble the vehicle and consequently replace parts. The degree to which that proves usefully true and accessible to the owner/operator remains to be demonstrated. Certainly in line with their righ-to-repair focus though.
Most of the materials needed to so a body repair are available from West Marine. Special equipment is not needed, especially for scuffs.

Solar cells will be owner replaceable
There are TBA spots for the front and rear lift points. I suppose one reason not to share yet is.. we are looking at the earliest development vehicles (just alpha)
Some areas are not completely finished/closed in... like the front arms to wheels. The front wheel pants (covers) are not even the final version:
When that is finalized... instructions and videos might be more meaningful?
"Standby".. as they say!
In my mind reservations are refundable.... lots to come. No commitment until order time???
We are all chumping at the bit😏
