The first car I want to buy is a Scion TC with a 5 speed manual! Modify a little so I can rip it on the tōge a little, then I want to get my absolute dream car, an FRS/BRZ!! Then later down the line I want to own a RHD JDM car, don't know which one yet tho!

What about you guys?!

Also the picture is a display of 86s and BRZs in Maryland!

Yeah, it has a small market, but people who want one REALLY want one. So I expect that if they can ever get production figured out they'll sell as fast as they can be made for a short time, then they'd better move on to a new design if they want to stay around. Or, sell some of the solutions they built to other manufacturers. I think i've seen them selling their lightweight, flexible solar panels to another manufacturer.

carbon fiber bicycles can shatter on impact. i wonder whats different on apteras body panels?

I do expect it would shatter. Part of the reason why the user base would be small is that it requires a customer with a motorcycle mindset on safety. Compared to a motorcycle, it's very safe! Compared to any car, it's not very safe.
