It's top speed is only 20 mph, so it's useless in many settings.
And you really think you can fit a family of 5 in an Atomic car?
Have you ever been in one? One fart and you'll blow out the windows!

well let's see. I will accept I brought it up first, I don't recall now.
Actually, I see many references to the street legal version being capable of up to 35.
I think the use cases I mentioned going to work, going to shop, etc, typical daily use case for MOST Americans, only requires occupancy of 1 or 2.
Farting in any enclosed car with the windows closed is a bad idea. Some have activated charcoal, Tesla's have a biohazard filtration - how many ICE cars have biohazard protection built in? LOL!
I clearly stated it in no way competed with even economy cars, like Toyota Yaris on features, that it was in fact very limited. But, I do believe there is a sizable market from college students, to poor working class, and more for a not frills basic mode of transportation.
I owned about the most basic car available - 1970 VW Beetle - and loved it.
