Question to the NYDMV | Aptera

Perhaps this is interesting to the four other New Yorkers who have reserved an Aptera, and posted a pin on the Future Aptera Owners map.

I emailed the following question to the New York DMV:

"I plan to purchase a 2021 Aptera. It is an all-electric, two-passenger, three-wheeled vehicle with a fully enclosed passenger compartment and standard automobile controls, I.e. a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, and a brake pedal. It does not have motorcycle controls. https://www.aptera.us/

How do I register this vehicle?"
