    A few things the cynics are missing.

    1. The engineers who are designing this car don’t have the political power to push for better mass transit.
    2. Even in ideal circumstances, there will still be a need for personal transport vehicles and infrastructure. Small cars will still be needed.
    3. Aptera has 31 employees as of 2023. If they’re working overtime, it’s because they’re letting the company do it. Maintaining good moral is way more important in small companies.
