This makes it sound as if maybe the Zing didn't initially handle well.

Problems with the Aptera geometry alone (aside from CG location issues) could be seen from 50 feet away.

They make high-end office chairs. Perhaps you saw them speed tested in an Aptera video?

Ah yes... it's all become clear.

Not Meyers, but in the same category. Why?

Someone is smoking something and just discovered EVs.

Really weird, several years ago Corbin was building the Raven, a single seat gas powered vehicle similar to the drawing. There are videos of it on You Tube. He was getting bids from suppliers on components...then the website was shutdown. Now he is back with an electric version? He makes cool concepts and his motorcycle seats are the best. I will say one thing, at least he is trying to get a car back into production, I hope he succeeds this time.

this might change your mind about how it all went down.

I remember all that. Then Meyers botched it and now they are yet still wasting money on the DUO which will never make a profit. I think some people are convinced this car is a money maker and they can't see the financial reality. Unless Myers is happy to keep subsidizing them.
