I would so drive an Aptera, but @ $30K it once again becomes unreasonable. The problem is that the laws of demand and controlling supply are going to reign over our society for time in the future. Driving the costs of efficient vehicles higher than they should be.

I see the Aptera and notice that their are no exoic material being used, just smart engineering, yet it's $30K

That car could be priced @ $20K i'm sure, a level which most commuters would gladly spend on a new car.

So for the not so distant future, modders like me will have to settle for the Aptera Vibe, and hoping to get over 60mpg out of an inefficent gas engine.
