Legally wrong with? Nothing. Brand-wise? Huge. Gamers and miners hate them for this. As a shareholder I'd imagine you want continuing revenue, not a short bump before the market switches to AMD.

Bus roofs are much better for solar than compact cars and you have a use for that incidental power in a way a car does not. As for the car, I imagine people will burn the energy and more by turning on the air conditioning when they get into

Most likely they assume that the builders know how worthless it is but they think the customers will not, thus being tricked into buying this car to only save $50 a year. A solar golf cart would be great for people in Arizona, but a car wit

Real estate rarely goes down, outside of a total bubble deflation. People just hold onto it longer, unable to profitably sell, further trapping others in a cycle of rent. The current bubble will drain money from producers to the value-empty
