I would not want to be an investor in this boondoggle. Since when does design have to hamper efficiency? And how is it they "shipped a trickle" before the test drive? Wouldn't the test drive come first? They have violated the first two fundamentals needed make an EV sell, low drag & low weight. I want to know why Aptera failed to produce a car. The demand was there as the thousands of orders showed. It must have been regulations. Why else would the market fail to fill a desire? Does any one know the details?
