This is still in the design phase, but remember Tesla moves rather quickly. They got the Chinese and German branches of their manufacturing plants up in just months. The Hot Hatch is a real 4 wheel car that holds 4 people with the weight to provide a comfortable and stable ride. Their safety, reliability, and manufacturing prowess has already been proven. Nothing beats their Supercharger stations and locations. Service and parts comes to you and you don't have to figure out how to fix something yourself. Entry and exit should be quite standard, and payload will certainly be closer to the Model 3's load of 925lbs. You can also drive for basically free when hooking up to a home Tesla power bank and solar assembly. If this car truly is priced at $25k and has a $7k federal tax credit, it will be will really have no other competitors. In So. Cal, one gets added credits from both So. Cal Edison as well as the state. It may not go 1000 miles, but that really isn't on my own priority list.

So, the Model 3 loses to the Aptera, what do you think the Model 2 will do? It will lose also. Won't have the range, speed, or styling. It will just have more seats which will be great for people who really care about that. It will have the same price as the cheapest Aptera, and to get the "awesome feature" that Tesla is known for you'll have to pay an extra $10,000+ for FSD which is faulty. The $25k car will be at least $30k for the first year of release. It might look even more boring than a Model Y. It will be a great vehicle and get more sales than the Aptera vehicles but it won't be as good if Aptera delivers as promised.
