Doors open wider than the width of the car?

I own a 42kw bmw i3, one pedal driving which is fantastic, the only problem the discs rust something awful, so when starting after a night of wind and rain over a couple of days the pads just scrap the rust off onto my alloy wheels, disc brake fittings and any else around the hubs. This fine granular material attaches to any thing and is difficult to remove, and during the winter months with salt on the roads repeats itself over and over again. Modern motorcycles use stainless steel discs so could the aptera have SS discs or an option. I enquired about having them made for my i3 and using cnc machining would be a piece of cake. Second point are all the wheels and tyres the same on all axles, if so I guess it would be easy to get a fourth to get as a spare in the large (boot?) area.

Is it even a good idea, cost wise, etc. would Aptera consider contactable front wheels?. Refer to this design

Another problem with this width will be parallel parking. It would be all too easy to scrape the curbside fender on the curb if you’re not careful.

See my picture in the other reply. I will be placing myAptera where the truck is so... I have enough room to get out of the driver’s door. All my past two bay garages only had room for exiting from one side easily

Width is a big factor for the stability!

I think I'm dreaming. Converted to scale, that would be 3.28 m, so you need a double garage 😥 Please, tell me I am wrong.

It also goes even wider ...

Wow! Never remembered that one!

Mechanical and electric straight door with glass window...That must have weighed a lot?!

Thx!

Remember the BMW Z1 with the retractable doors. For the Aptera this means, the window is frame less and retracts into the door, the door swings halfway into the under floor, leaving enough room to get out.

maybe minivan style sliding doors work better given theres a lot of rear space https://www.google.com/search?q=minivan+door&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS844US844&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjzvMmvwIXuAhUEm1kKHWBAAoQQ_AUoAnoECBsQBA&biw=1034&bih=620#imgrc=VuQQsuylBK-vXM https://www.aptera.us/forum/general-discussions/has-anyone-checked-the-width-of-aptera-it-s-listed-as-88-wide-almost-as-wide-as-a-garage-door-is-it-really-that-wide?appSectionParams=%7B%22origin%22%3A%22member_comments_page%22%7D

Len, you're damaging your garage and your car, sign over your order to me. I have a duplex garage and rent a new garage for the Aptera and it must be lined with plastic cones on the ceiling and sides.

True true, but a door mechanism like the one below would fit the design better as the open door wouldn't add to the width of Aptera . accidentally hitting something next to you with your car door is always a bummer.

I think that is one of the unique attributes of this roadster style model? It appears all the initial prototype models in the 2000 also had winged doors. As you can read on this matter... ~six inches allowed from the front wheel cover to a wall is enough room.

I checked my garage space for that as I would like to park there in the evening.

I never owned a car, in my fifty years, that allowed conventional doors to open fully for all passengers to exit easily in a multi bay garage
