Hello!
Here's another rendered image of the (near) production Aptera 2e:
And a lower contrast, lighter version of the same image:
I can now figure out what is going on with the front wheel pods! They are asymmetrical when viewed from above -- the inside face is nearly flat, and the leading "point" is close to the inside; and the outside face is much more convex and it curves inward at the front. From the point of view of this rendering, this curve is foreshortened and it looks squared off -- until you look at the lower part.
It has a hood, and there is a "bumper" now.
The lower part of the side windows appear to be set back from the face of the door, forming a sill surface.
They have abandoned the flexible "boot" that was covering the opening where the suspension struts come out of the body (or at least they are not shown on the rendering).
I think they need to add some marker lights on the front and outside of the front wheel pods -- this was one item that was not settled yet.
