A step down from the luxury ride of the Tesla Type S Sedan is the Aptera, a compact sized electric car, which looks like it just rolled off a SciFi movie set.
The first sales will be limited to California, and then Florida and Texas. Seriously, I don’t see this thing being able to handle a New England winter.

The word from GM (i.e. Government Motors) is that all the car models need to “pay the rent.” It can’t sell at a profit, it’s gone. Hell, even some of the models that sell at a profit are going.
The interesting exception, the Chevy Volt. Officials at GM admit that the Volt probably won’t be putting red ink on the books for the first couple of model years.
I’ve written about the Volt before. It has some interesting technology, but given Chevy’s financial situation, should it be making exceptions to the “pay the rent” rule?
