I see a convergance in the design of tadpole recumbent bicycles and the Aptera. Recumbent bicycles are going electric and there tires are getting larger. If you aplly the same desgin priciples of the Aptera to a one seater. You may have a nich market for one passenger highway traveling ultra light, ultra eficient and ultra safe. If that takes off some of the cost it may be the best entry level electric. A single in wheel tire motor in the back may cut costs with a weight reduction.
Recumbant bicycles have had serveral fatalities and your pasanger cell would be a great step forward in a one seater. You may even have a market with motor bike alternatives.
I have collected these youtube videos regarding this convergance.

My wife didn’t want me to buy a motorcycle and is OK with Aptera’s:
Two comfortable car seats
Enclosed with 25 cu ft cargo
Safer....airbags, stability controls, anti lock brakes. Accident avoidance (Safety Pilot) Safer in rain, Snow, loose gravel
(Sorry.. My friend lost his leg in motorcycle accident by a careless driver that on accidentky bumped into him😔)
Quiet
Allergy protection ( being enclosed)
Not helmet
No bugs on a face shield and my clothes
Climate control so no special clothing
Enjoy my Enhanced audio
We can take our (̂ ˃̥̥̥ ˑ̫ ˂̥̥̥ )̂ with us!
Much more environmental friendly So I said “OK 😁 No problem!
She said 👉I do not need 0-60mph in 3.5 sec😔 Oh well....
But I respect others needs
I like their future vision:
