Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I don't understand those
They're not motorcycles. They aren't weatherproof. I can't think of a use case that something else isn't a better choice.

New They're 3-wheel go-carts. For adults.
New It is an opening
for those not/no longer comfortable on two wheels but for whom a convertible is too "square".

Trike conversions have existed for a very long time. Having the two wheels up front eliminates the differential problem and the Slingshot opens the market wider by having a steering wheel.
New People still buy 'em.
BAC, Ariel and Caterham (and likely others) have four-wheel cars like that and they seem to be successful.

There was a memorably Top Gear challenge where the hosts got to use some of these cars in daily driving. Except it rained that day. :-)
