I, too, worry about this, Dave. My wife has a 37 mile commute (each way) and it's 90% highway. If Aptera made a 4 door 2x2 seater, she'd probably be persuadable to buy one. I would love one, but my commute is 15 miles each way, my car already gets 40+ mpg, and I ride my bike once a week. Hard to justify.
Also, I thought the design could be altered a bit to include some bumpers for small crash protection of the body with a minimal aero hit.
