That said, there's plenty of alternative vehicles that provide a cramped space for less money and are very fuel efficient.

Are we comparing gasoline powered vehicles or not?
You've got a good point for the practicality of the general public. But niche cars tend to have niche owners with niche circumstances.
Sure, I'm better off financially in a 10 year old Honda Fit. Thanks for the info.
But come on, solar panels on a car aren't the root of all evil.
As long as we're ranting on $900 options, I don't understand why so many cars have an AWD option. The dual motors option is some $4,000 more on a Tesla and doesn't add anything practical to the car. And don't start on "if you live where it snows and don't have a paved road to your house" because that's exactly where I live.
If I paid $30,000 or more for a car I'd want one that is cool to me. An Aptera with solar panels is cool to me. It's probably the only EV I would consider at this point. The Bolt and Leaf come close, but knowing how Nissan does batteries and the whole Bolt fire problem have me thinking I'll stick with ICE for now.
