Not bad for technology, but it look hideous. Who would want to seen in one of those, except the Greenpeace activists during the demonstration.

Given the traffic movement condition on CA, especially the highway 101, some Toyota Tundra will crush it in an eye-blink.

Tesla got the body from Lotus I believe, its so hawt.

The aptera is actually suppose to be really safe because its shaped like a dome (which is extremely structurally strong). I would assume the aptera would simply bounce off the tundra since its so light, it wouldn't smash probably unless it was a straight in front impact.
