The Aptera gets very high marks from me for aesthetic design - as it should, being physics-driven. But ... I would give the rear side marker lights a slight curve to fit into the organic fuselage shape, or shorten them, perhaps. To me, they appear to be a hard straight line drawn at the end of a very fluid surface. A bit of discord at the end of a measure, if you will. Maybe they look better up close and personal, which I am quite anxious to see.

I favor the rear side marker lights to be perfectly horizontal. The main time they will be noticed will be at night. If they are sloping upward or downward, they will look like they came loose and accidently twisted. Plus at night, no body curves are visible to blend with.
Also, on the Noir, the two segments forming the side marker light, did not perfectly line up with each other. I am not worried about this considering this is the first vehicle.
