I don't think it is intended for a moving vehicle, or that anyone
discussing it here contemplated that.  But for its intended buyers, I don't
see the benefit.  Someone said the hot air it (like any air conditioner)
generates (after all, it is extracting heat from the space it supposedly
cools) is supposed to be dumped outside through a hose and a window.  There
will actually be additional heat (as with any air conditioner) because
mechanical devices are not 100% efficient (those pesky laws of
thermodynamics).

For whomever questioned whether there was any environmental impact, since
it uses batteries, the whole thing has to be manufactured, including the
batteries.  Batteries must be replaced or recharged.

The ad shows people using it at a beach in the outdoors.  Now really.  Why
go to the beach, if not there to enjoy the conditions?
