Seen it before, and though it may have changed a little bit, it's still just as ugly with darn near the frontal area of a car and probably less aerodynamic than many.

Not sure how "stealth" applies to it, seems a poor choice of names. It'd sure stand out in any crowd. 
Unless they are trying to cash in on it's vague similarity to the F117 cockpit/etc.
I do kinda like it's angularness, but it doesn't appear to be very aero. I expect it's range and higher-speed performance to suffer.

I'm sure they got the name from the 1st gen angular stealth aircraft.. which had terrible aero. The eye catchingness of the design is probably a good safety feature if nothing else!
I think the huge merit is that its done. Unlike myself who only imagines thing someone has actually gone and done it. Props for that.
That being said I fail to see the advantages.
-Its parks as wide as a car (and cannot lane split or go through narrow passages).
-It has plenty of window space and surfaces are all black - better be in colder climates with limited sunshine as I doubt you have AC in it and even if you do its waste of battery.
-Being invisible is the last thing you want in a "not so crash safe" vehicle. Another reason to go bright lighter color - with proper external signal lights.
my comments are tainted by the 3h I spent in Los Angeles traffic - hot and full of crazy nutcases.

I give mad props also. Its ugly but its built. And anyway whats wrong with ugly?
I think the main advantage to any three wheeler is that as a seller you don't have to comply with all the safety requirements of a car. And like the bent folks say.. something that is this unusual, well invisibility might not be a problem, even in black.
Maybe you could pull off flat white or a light gray with that thing.. Bright yellow or blue would just make it uglier..
