Oh, look at Aptera’s new solar-powered electric trike, the pride of Mojave Desert testing. Must be as efficient as a hummingbird, with a body shape that could be the love child of an aerodynamic engineer and a wind tunnel. ‘Most efficient production vehicle ever’? They must’ve forgotten to include the wheelbarrow and the unicycle in the competition. And let’s not even get started on their claim of 1,000 miles on a single charge. It’s more like 1,000 dreams in the desert of efficiency fantasy. Their ‘exceptional efficiency’ must be the new black, because it’s certainly not grounded in reality. And what’s with the solar panels? Are they hoping to become the next fashion accessory for sunbathing hipsters? It’s all very impressive, until you remember the world outside of a test track’s bubble. Now, if only they could make it rain efficiency points in the real world…
