If the originators are running things, maybe they have a chance.
The inclusion of automotive "Experts" into the management team meant the vehicle would be hammered into a market hole it had little chance to fit into.
If they are smart, they could market the Aptera as a unique, bespoke vehicle to a limited, upscale market.
It's construction simplicity could also lend itself to a "kit".
The Aptera was started in my neck of the woods and I followed it's development with interest. It is an extreme design that is ideal for an electric commuter vehicle. It leaves room to degrade efficiency and gain in areas of performance and handling if people so desire. The inclusion of hub motors is an idea that may not have been practical a decade ago but is certainly feasible today even if you start out with much lower powered, off the shelf units.
