At first glance, and second glance, that seatpost just seems to be a hinged lever now as it's sitting off the tip tube without support.
I am no engineer, clearly.

I'm impressed there are still zero reviews for this bike after it was announced a full month ago.

Ah, here's the first one I've seen (bikeradar.com). Not sure the author researched especially deeply; as a commenter there says, H1.5 has been a thing for years already and isn't new for 2023. The comments on the Aeolus RSL 51 wheels also don't quite match other reviews of those wheels...I haven't seen anyone else call them v-shaped, or that they aren't surprisingly stable in crosswinds.
