I don't understand why people think that these investments have to pay for themselves. What about Corvettes? Children? A nice steak dinner? Do those investments and expenses pay for themselves? More than likely, no.

It's important to understand that buying an Aptera is a unique, positive and enjoyable experience to me. Comparatively, I'd much rather be out a few bucks on that than say, scratch off lotto tickets.

If you will only consider the solar package based on cost, it probably isn't for you. Did I have to buy a new long range EV three years ago? No. It would have been cheaper to keep my 3 cylinder Geo Metro running for another 10 years? Yes, but I chose to upgrade.
