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

Yes... this will free up the top management to focus on the big picture (plan) too, although I believe they are very “hands on”😉
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.
Yeah, get a 7 seater that's so efficient you don't mind driving it alone in the HOV lane!
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
@Matthijs Or this German creation from 1939...
@Kerbe #12705 What car is that? Was it electric? Looks like it may have also been a 3-wheeler. But with a very spacious interior.
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.
@David Elze Actually, it means, "no wings" or "without wings"...
@Kerbe #12705 Thank but I think I still have a point. What do you think?
@David Elze I think that space is currently overflowing with manufacturers both large and small - I'd rather Aptera stay on the ground! 🙂
Another company is already working on a Optera that will fly.
