certainly the 900 pound gorilla in the room for a cheap mass market EV. Well along the R&D path with deep capital pockets. Right now Elon is distracted by the cyber truck and sports car. GM and VW are releasing products in this market segment this year (2021) Tesla maybe not in production until 2023 in China. Some time after that imported into the U.S. with some sort of Import tax that will raise the price. GM, Ford, VW etc. will lobby to have that import tax high which of course will reflect in a higher consumer price. I have lived and worked in China. If hey commit to a Tesla 2, It will be done on schedule. They are very well organized and very efficient. Still a window for Aptera (2021 - 2023) to joint eh competition.
More importantly, Tesla is not aimed at the Tesla 2 Market so this will not be as much as a challenge to Tesla as the other tritonal car companies that will have smaller, cheaper traditionally styled EVs on the market
I personally will buy the Aptera over a T2 if they are in the market together.
