Thats some terrible fuel economy right there.
EDIT: The 3.5 mpg kind of terrible fuel economy.

I read a rather in-depth article about this car on Car&Driver (and dammit if I can't seem to find it right now) about how the tech that it's using is actually developed by NASA as different take on electrical energy storage. It's pretty fascinating. You can either "recharge" the liquid, or just replace the liquid completely.

the opening sentence is mixing imperial and metric units a little too much.

Reverse electrodialysis I assume? I'm impressed they've gotten it to a respectable current and power density.

Yes.

Ugh! What up with these sand dunes? The whole wavy theme here makes me feel sick

I think someone posted this awhile ago with article on it from a scientific/tech magazine and it sounded like possible vaporware to us, but it looks like it's actually happening. That article spoke in even vaguer technical terms than in this one.

The car looks pretty weird but the power source is interesting. They were calling it as flow cell (but written weirdly). It's basically a hybrid of a battery and a fuel cell. The fluid composition that it uses seems to be a secret. The fluid is changed when the car needs to be "recharged" and the used fluid is recharged outside the car.
Tesla was at least smart enough to get themselves a proper name and nice exterior design.
