Very true. Or you get fanboys who do buy them but downplay all the flaws as with Tesla.

On the other hand, do you have to buy something in order to appreciate it's advantages?

I don't think EV's or solar cars or Aptera are the solution to my problems or the world'sproblems. But I like the concept and I like how the math does work out and I like the potential advantages.

What makes this thread so hard are the emotions. If everyone's mudslinging at one another how can you have a logical conversation about the technology? Things can have pros and cons. The naysayers see the cons and that's all they see. The fanboys see the pros and that's all they see.

And yes, personally I need a minivan right now more than I need a two-seater. But five years from now that could be the total opposite.
