I'm a big fan of Tesla, bought their stock in 2010, drove or ridden in almost every model, I still don't think it makes the cut.
It's a bridge tech like the CFL lightbulb or the blackberry. Not that musk can't push it forward, just not with the current lineup
I've worked in tech focussed on alternative vehicle adoption for 5 years now.
This weird left-field long shot thing I'm talking about is the first time I can see it actually happening.
I know it's hair brained and wacky sounding, but I think it's also correct. Taiwan and India have a huge scooter culture for commuters on the same logic I'm banking on here. Conventional 4 doors aren't going away, but there's a large downstream opportunity following all the traditional dynamics - it's pretty by the book, even down to the dismissive attitude, especially by me.
I'm about to get 100 or so on the road in car-sharing by years end so I'll know a lot more by then. I don't know if it will work without the other pieces. Still trying to pull the inductive charging together and once aptera is actually ready to ship, I'll be getting solar ones out too. Odds are murky, but eh, let's do it anyway.
