The Aptera has been promised for over a decade now. I'm somehow amazed they are still trying.

Bummer. I want to give them my money, but they're not accepting new investments right now.

A solar powered car that topped at 70mph would be ideal,

But goddamn, could you imagine just having one that topped at 30 MPh in a city? Infinite travel!

Oh. That absolutely won't happen. You'll be losing battery power while you're driving around.

They can make all solar vehicles that will go and keep going as long as there's sunshine, but they aren't anything a regular person could use.

Yep. Iirc apterra does 100wh/mi and is covered with less than 1000w of solar, so you only make at most 10 miles of range per hour in perfect solar conditions.
