It'll never sell.

It's a one-seater, and the range has got to be terrible! Where's the storage space? Although I DO like the 'open top' concept.

That car will only sell in California.

Wow, it's a single seater go-cart; not even a fully fleshed out / functional golf-cart.

Are you sure this isn't a joke? :scared0011:

I don't think I've ever seen a single seat golf cart before.

Of course it's a joke. As a very satisfied owner of a C70, though, I can tell you I would love to see an electric C30. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Volvo makes great cars. I've never driven one so comfortable and fun to drive as my C70 and I've driven a lot of cars. Even this 11-year-old car gets 30MPG on the freeway and over 20 around town, and that's with A/C and stereo on. Their 5-cyl turbo engine is much smoother than my wife's Acura TSX 4-cyl turbo, although that one probably has a bit more pep, not that I've ever needed the max on either. It's just getting a little long in the tooth so I'm in the market for an EV for my short-mileage lifestyle. If Aptera falls behind on deliveries I'll be exploring all the other brands, but I don't expect Volvo to be in time for that party.
