Has anyone checked the width of Aptera? It's listed as 88" wide - almost as wide as a garage door. Is it really that wide?

Yes, at the front wheel pants, outside to outside. Because of the way the doors work, you only need 5 or 6 inches from a wall to open the doors and get in or out. The wide track is needed for aerodynamics and stability.
It will fit in the junk yard after it flips if the width is changed because it may not fit in your garage.
Please, have a look at the link:
The width is 8” wider than a cybertruck! This could be a fatal design flaw, IMO.

Hmm. Really? Aptera is less than 2 inches wider than a Tesla Model S, including its mirrors.
Just making the wheel fairings on left and right quickly and easily removable for narrow towns etc where the current wheel width is excessive in small villages, then put them back on for long journeys where the aerodynamics matter more.
I park the car in the garage everyday, so the fairings would never be on. Not such a good idea in wet weather.
delete threads, move stuff to a single thread under teh same topic. evry post is not just a "post", its the beginning of a thread which is supposed to be made only if you couldnt find a existing thread to comment in in the search bar
heres a thread to merge this one with in this case: https://www.aptera.us/forum/main/comment/602459dedb409900170b5f3b
@my_discord_number_is_0328 I'm not certain that there's a moderator in the forum who's empowered to keep it organized... @Sarah Hardwick ?
