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.

I'm not implying that financial considerations are all that matter, only pointing out opportunity costs.
One way to do that is to mention how many miles could be driven on $1,500 of household electricity.
Another way might be to point out the battery could be, say, 12 kWh higher capacity for the $1,500. That's about 120 miles more range.
There's an infinite way to spend $1,500. For some, their preferred way would be to have a dinky 700 watt solar panel on a car that's rarely oriented well towards the sun. Rather than it being preferred for practical reasons, it's simply the price for bragging rights. I'm fine with that.
