With hub motors, I would hope you could turn the car on a dime. So pulling up to a parking spot that you would normally back into or pull into could be done by rotating the car 90 degrees and then back / pull into the parking spot.

Given how wide the front wheels are, for some people it will be difficult / impossble to park.
The Aptera has the turning radius of a Honda Civic without using “tank turn“. If you can’t park it, turn in your license!
They did say the Aptera would be able to do tank turns using the hub motors which is essentially turning in place
That is not my understanding
Yes torque vectoring helps with turning but the wheels do not turn 90 degrees
