I dunno, ±60k with every option isn’t bad when the average new car price is 50k.

But $60K for a motorcycle is stupid. It's a not a car.

DISCLAIMER: I didn't do really any research on traditional 3 wheel vehicles, this is just the first result with a price I saw

This 3 wheeler starts at 22,299, only carries 1 passenger, no weather protection, ICE engine, etc. etc.

There's probably overlap between the prices if you go bottom-of-the-barrel Aptera and top of the line Can-Am.

If I was shopping for a new vehicle, didn't have a family of 5 to drive around, and was certain the company would stay above water I'd be all over this.
