I agree that if the MPG claims are met, it's worth the price to prove the technology. Economies of scale should bring the price down, but I don't have the feeling that the Aptera will ever become mainstream. Maybe mainstream to long distance commuters.

I am interested in what the price of the normal gasser will be.
