Hi,

There are a few people who are using proxy buyers. Aptera is doing this so they can support/service their vehicle. Eventually (hopefully) they will have a dealer network, that will let them sell and support it all over the country.

I think the front drive shafts you see are rotating. The rubber CV boots are visible in several of the images. In the image looking down on the vehicle, you can see that the lower suspension arm is forward of the drive shaft, so it might deflect said tall grass, and prevent it from entangling on the drive shaft?
