The FUV has it, but I wonder the same thing since the Aptera doesn't. Heck, I saw a sailplane on TV that had side-by-side seating.

That said, it does allow the taper to begin sooner, so that may offset some of the inefficiency of side-by-side. There's no way someone could sit behind the driver in the Aptera due to lack of head clearance. The vehicle would have to be longer to accommodate the slick shape.
