I am pleased to learn that Aptera will be working with Munro and Associates throughout the development process: It's only right that an efficient vehicle should be manufactured efficiently.o

Another company is already working on a Optera that will fly.
It occurs to me that Aptera is the only electric car that could evolve into an EVTOL company because of their composite construction and focus on lightweight efficiencies. The name Aptera means wingless flight.
How about designing a 4 to 6 person SUV size EV with all the efficient benefits of these smaller size "cars". Basically making them that much bigger with the same design but maybe a 4 door option. .
The act of "making it bigger" would negate the efficiency of the design as "bigger" would involve it being heavier and having greater surface area to push through the atmosphere. This vehicle is a 2-seat, 3 wheeled design - changing that would just be making it into something it isn't.

The shape for a bigger car that intrigued me the most was the boxfish mercedes benz prototype. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Bionic
A drag coefficient of Cw 0.19
Yeah, get a 7 seater that's so efficient you don't mind driving it alone in the HOV lane!

Yes... this will free up the top management to focus on the big picture (plan) too, although I believe they are very “hands on”😉
