Cool car. I'd rock that on my daily commute! It will go 100 miles between charges which would be plenty to get me to and from work each day. Honestly, this would meet most of my driving needs.

I'd love to have an all electric car, but I can't afford 2 vehicles. An electric would take care of 90% of my driving needs, but that other 10%....

Technically it's classified as a motorcycle, since it does not have the safety features required by a car.

I saw one of these about a year and half ago when Aptera at an electric car show. Pretty cool looking vehicle I must admit, although I'd be scared to drive it on the highway :).

I've never really understood why people say things like that...or why they feel that way. It seems kind of irrational to me.

Then again, I ride a motorcycle so any car feels safer than that. I don't really worry about it when I ride though either. I guess if I did, I probably wouldn't ride.

safety considerations are generally directed towards the unpredictable crazy asshats that one shares the road with. It's not so much what you might do behind the wheel, but what some psycho will do to you when sideswiping your vehicle while attempting to cut you off.

the smaller the vehicle, the less safe one tends to feel, I imagine.

The Aptera 2h model can run on gas if your batteries go dead. Problem solved. ;)

While Aptera sounds like the great white affordable electric car, I tend to back Tesla because they actually sell cars.

That Tesla Sedan is going to be my baby someday. <3

Tesla makes a sweet car. I didn't know they were for sale yet. What's the street price on them?

...seriously...why can't they freaking make an electric car that actually looks like something 90 percent of the people out there want to own?

Holy shit. If they can just make a damn a Telsa for 20 grand that goes 0 to 60 in 8/9 seconds, I bet it'd sell like hotcakes.

Just a reguar...looking...electric...car...why does it have to be futuristic?

Too bad Aptera is in the stage of continuously bad management.

Also, they are only selling them in CA, WTF?
