I argued with Aptera about making a diesel or a 3 seater, they are only focused on CA at the moment, if they would start selling outside CA they should definately make the diesel version they made initially prior to this hybrid nonsense.
The diesel overall did better than their hybrid long term.
Also something the diesel folks never touch is the fact that diesel exhaust can be cleaned up to CO2 & water using tapwater to clean the exhaust, even more effective with driveway salt mixed in, it would be irritating to change water but heck its cheap? My father had to change water for years on the diesel orecars he drove underground.
THeir overall design and cost should be cheaper with a diesel, too bad they lost interest.
