I am somewhat puzzled why they have gone for a 4 wheel vehicle.

A three wheeler with one wheel in the nose a la Bond Bug would seem more aircraft like and a better "lander" than four?

That was apparent in the landing video where it was bouncing around on the two front wheels.

The reliant Bond bug was a very capable road car with three. An air Car with three would also have the benefit of weight saving.
