Not me. Overhyped in this case though. Aptera keeps citing best case scenarios when the real world will fall far short. One only need to look at a typical permanent PV installation production graph over a year to see that the numbers just aren't going to work out much of the time.
I've seen way too many articles saying 'never needs to charge' or some bull**** along those lines. Spend a winter in Oregon while trying to drive an average of 1188 miles per month. In January, I am lucky if my 5kW system produces 100kWh for the month. The panels on the Aptera will produce less than 1/10 of that assuming it is parked with full solar exposure during those hours. 10kWh won't run the heat for 1000 miles.
