You're taking for granted the fact that many people don't have the luxury of modifying their house/condo/apartment to install and maintain solar panels. Nor is it guaranteed that they have a garage/driveway to charge their car. With the Aptera, you wouldn't have to deal with the hassle or inability to install solar panels because you would be able to passively charge it anywhere it's sunny (i.e. while driving as well). So I disagree that this is just an objectively worse option than charging with rooftop solar, especially because of how competitively priced the Aptera will be compared to standard EVs.

Well at least it's not boring anymore 🤷♂️
Jesse you would not believe your eyes
But what's the frame of reference?
At my company, white hat hackers are to be called "offensive security researchers". Black hat hackers are to be called "attackers".
I'd imagine your hands would get chafed and dry after a while of using this thing.
Really loving the new changes! Can't wait to see try the alpha out
Yeah I had trouble building it on Arch. Something went wrong with a particular dependency, but I forget which. I'll give it another try soon, since I'm incredibly eager to experience the newer changes.
Congrats on escaping
Not sure. I'd wait on more benchmarks with different libraries before making a conclusion

Yes, the aerodynamics + solar panels is what makes this vehicle enticing, not just the solar panels alone.
