The target audience for the doorstop Prius (and also the Nissan Leaf) was that overlap of super eco friendly people and attention seekers. Like the old joke, how do know someone is vegan||into-crossfit? They'll tell you.
The latest models of the Prius and Leaf aren't that visually striking, though some of that might come down to being desensitized.
What sets the Prius and Leaf apart from the Aptera, and other weird cars, is that they're actually practical and functional. They're hatchbacks that you can cram a boggling amount of stuff into, and as commuter cars they just work. The Aptera looks completely impractical for anything other than transporting 2 people and a purse from point A to point B. Where would you fit a suitcase in that thing?
- UncleOxidant 5y agoThey seem to be getting a lot of groceries in the back of that thing [1], also shows them putting in a surfboard. It has a lot more space than would seem to be the case from looking at the exterior. > Where would you fit a suitcase in that thing? Unless it's some kind of huge suitcase where the smallest dimension is 3+ feet... in the back cargo area under the hatchback.

- cptskippy 5y agoThanks, I didn't see that video showing off the hatchback. The photos make it look like the back is pretty narrow both vertically and horizontally. It's not huge, but it's definitely a lot more than I first imagined.
