Excuse me, but how exactly is Tesla floundering? Last I read, they were getting close to shipping their 1000th Roadster, and showing a profit.

IThe problem is that the Aptera is a motorcycle. Driving it in some states requires wearing a helmet.
Why's that a problem? Even if the helmet thing were true (which I don't think it is), there are a lot of motorcycle riders out there. Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki... none of them seem to be going bankrupt selling motorcycles.
