Having a car manufacturer design a city is like having a shark design a ship: there's a strong incentive for things to be done poorly.
Good planning would heavily involve mixed-use development, reducing the distance to desired amenities (keeping roads small instead of having every block separated by 6 lanes), and a strong focus on mass transit (train, tram, bus).
The city of the future would be a 15-minute city covered in solar panels, broken up by public green areas, with every street lined with trees. I imagine it would also be covered mostly in mid-rises.
I was thinking it would be better to have solar in the city and wind around it, as turbines make some noise and as the roofs are gonna go unused otherwise. But I can see how putting solar on the roof can make it harder to maintain than having a solar park on the ground.
I was also thinking having solar panels above tram lines, but that may not be worth the cost.
