Maybe ok if everyone drove them, I'd seriously consider it for my sunny commute in Nevada and parking all day outside in the desert. Unfortunately, everyone else is driving a massively oversized pickup truck and I'd prefer not to be obliterated.

Yeah that's the only reason I haven't put in a preorder. They're making it as safe as they can but there's only so much you can do.
Back in the 90s I drove a '73 Beetle and a '74 Pinto, and I'm sure it's safer than those. Maybe Aptera's customers will be some of today's 20-somethings.
In other words: not a car. No crash protection. Three-wheeled "cars" are simply an excuse to avoid various safety rules. They are essentially enclosed motorcycles, to the extent that in some jurisdictions you may need a motorcycle license/helmet to drive them.
