    As for the Canoo, Buzz and Microlino (which you didn’t mention but I think fits) there’s a trend towards going back to older style car designs because they’re now feasible. So I totally agree that it’s going to change, but I think there’s going to be a pretty big exploration of retro ideas.

    As for the Aptera… Man. I would love for them to get off the ground and I actually really want one, but at this point I’m a little skeptical. And the cyber truck is a mess.

      Regardless if those specific examples succeed, we’re just at the beginning of EVs and we can already see the unique ideas floating.

      20 years from now when Kia, Buick, and BMW could all offer the same 500hp and 100 “mpg”? The competitive pressure will push harder.

      I want Aptera to get off the ground badly as well.

      A car that is efficient enough charging in the sun is workable? That’s some shit if society collapses would be told as legends of the ancients.

      I guess I’m sort of hoping Fisker has a good run. That Ocean model looks quite practical, but still having some really nice features. Price is reasonable for what it is.

      Not sure though. If global economy tightens up more, the first ones out the door will be the made to order, startup EV companies.
