As an engineer I have never understood nor bought into the Tesla hype. It is rather dumb engineering. Stuck deep in 20th century logic.

The first EV that managed to catch my interest is Aptera. 1000 miles range, 40 miles on solar, weight less than 800 pounds and only costs $26K...

People are herd animals....originals, those that don't follow but lead, like myself, are always way ahead of the pack. Because unlike Tesla, Apteras logic does add up. It's the direction all future EV's will follow, and by defalut so will their shares.
