Here is a thought. When a dual engine plane has one of the engines malfunction it can continue to fly and land on the remaining engine. I would hope that the same holds true for a 2 or 3 hub motored Aptera.

This would also save energy. It would be best if the driver could choose between front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and all wheel drive to decide what is best for the situation. Only the rear wheel motor for acceleration and donuts. Only the front wheel motors when the rear wheel is stuck.
@loswa It would actually be better for the Aptera's AI to make those decisions based on what would be the most efficient use of power at any given moment: In addition, I'm perfectly happy for the vehicle to decide (for example) if "coasting" is more efficient than regen or to determine the amount of regen it needs - without my interference.
