I don't see that. I bought my Insight in 2003, when gas was still under $2/gal: Gasoline prices bit $1.72 a gallon, near record high - Mar. 10, 2003 Saving money wasn't my primary motive: I just wanted what I thought (and still do) was a neat car.

Maybe it would be a novelty (as if it isn't now), but hardly limited to the wealthy. If ordinary middle-income people can afford to buy new Harleys, power boats, RVs, and so on, why shouldn't there be a market for vehicles like the Aptera?
