And would like the upcoming 2-place variant that's in the pipeline.
Tandem or side-by-side?

2-place

It's supposed to be a stretched, tandem setup, not aggravating frontal area.
AeroStealth considers Solo, at 5.5-cubic-feet storage inadequate.
Presently, it's 122-inches overall length ( 166" if fully-tailed ).

New Fully Charged review.

Frankly, I take issue with the apparent lack of efficiency for what it is. It's not horrible, but Aptera is clearly proving that much better is possible.

There will be a future review that compares the (in alphabetical order) Aptera, Arcimoto and [stretched] Solo.

Looking forward to that! They are truly 3 distinct takes on the 3-wheel EV platform. (But I honestly just wish the FUV had full door options.)

I like the Eagle door:

They abandonded it, but I think it could work if it slid back to open like a minivan sliding door. This wold be great for a rainy environment.

Donut drove the Solo, which stopped production, and is under a voluntary recall

It sounds like they cannot figure out what is wrong with it:
