Hi! Newcomer here to the Aptera community. I was wondering if there would be any front cargo "frunk" space like most other electric cars? Understandable if not, but I couldn't find a clear yes or no anywhere.
I love this car's design so much. I have to believe there's a niche market that at least one manufacturer can fit into with a car like this. I was a big fan of the Elio years back, and hope that Aptera has much better luck this time around with securing funding to bring this to market.
My main concern, besides funding, is unit price. Is the Aptera capable of competing against the announced NET 2023 $25k Tesla model? I suspect there could be a niche for Aptera regardless, but I think it's worth asking: At what point does the efficiency not really matter anymore when you could get a larger, cheaper, automated, and still highly efficient EV instead? Any delays to Aptera rollout makes this question more valid, and if past experience is anything to go by, delays are likely. Could a future Aptera model be engineered with an even higher emphasis on affordability? Like in the $15-20K range? I'm sure there's all sorts of other models Aptera is dreaming of building already, and I hope they get made :)
Overall though, I'm super excited for Aptera and the future being engineered right in front of our eyes. This will be a wonderful journey and I can't wait!
Thanks!
Interesting, were you in Gifu prefecture? Being born here (Sansei), my Japanese is a third language.
