The Aptera, like the EV-1, Fisker, and Volt, survived on government grants for alternative energy vehicles, IMO. None of them will make it to market without a generous infusion of VC funding, or in the case of the Volt, a generous infusion of parent corporation money.
Contrast their milking grant money to the Nissan Leaf's actual marketing - swift and decisive, with no "maybes." We'll see the Leaf. I seriously doubt we'll ever see the Aptera marketed.
