Ok the fact that this tech is being used to shovel piles of new cars around is not that solarpunk, but the technology itself certainly is.

Also, how does it only have a capacity of 12?

It is a floating palace and the family is probably no larger then 12. There will be a lot of crew on board. Also everything else you would expect on a place like Epstein Island.

As for the fuel, this could probably be done using batteries nowadays. Those have gotten pretty light.

Is it common to not include crew in the capacity for a ship? That feels incredibly fucked up.
