    Fuck cars, but this is how you deploy solar.

    Seems a pretty solid use of space, if you’re gonna have all this paved space for cars anybow why not keep them cool and generate power at the same time?

      On no I won’t be able to charge my Aptera.

      But, seriously… saddest vaporware product ever

      Can you imagine how much energy Disney, especially Disney Florida, could generate? Jeebus. It has a parking lot þe size of Delaware.

    They have solar over the six flags lots nearest to me too, definitely makes walking in the parking lot more comfortable and saves the car from going into oven mode!
