Aptera is 88 inches (2235 mm) wide - that is a lot, and it seems that with doors open the car is even wider. Isn't this a problem in parking garages etc. Could you design the car doors so that they won't 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.
