Amazing how long it has taken and how many tries some builders are given. Yesterday I saw a Triac (first time operating since 2007) and a Zap. The Th!nk failed, came back, failed. I think they tried again. At least the Aptera is aerodynamic!

Do you have any real data besides what yer buddies tol' ye t'other day that suggests that the arrogantly large SUV you picture is any safer than the Aptera?

Or moreso, that the chance meeting of the two would result in death for either of the parties involved?

No?
