For the next few years, "green" will be the new "big"; companies will be able to treat mileage or battery-drive the way they used to tout seating, cargo space, or 4WD. Why not just roll with that? The most important thing about selling is to understand the market! One important thing to remember about the Aptera is that it's getting around safety requirements by being a motorcycle. Dumping it right into mass production would probably provoke the NHTSA a bit. Having this limited-production initial release will help them get some safety data, so they can be more confident about letting everybody have one. rschmidt: The average sale price of the Prius isn’t “made for the masses”, either.
