I like the Aptera too. What I can't stand is all the shrilling.
Yes, I am more likely to buy one than most of the shrills.
For example 12 years ago I thought the Nissan leaf was cool, then all the shrills came out of the wood work and I started trashing the Nissan leaf so hard. My 3 main points of attack were the price, battery longevity and tragically slow level 1 charging. Because all the shrills were saying " you can charge it from any 120v outlet".
Well they fixed most of the battery problems, the price cratered and I already knew I would need a level 2 charger years prior to buying one. So I got one.
