The Tern commuter looks interesting.

Definitely an APTERA ripoff

Both look like cars out of A.I. Very nice.

I want one, but I doubt it will see the light of day. GM and big oil wont let it.

The Aptera is a reality, you can even reserve one. It's the green car of the future.

Aptera Motors

The Tern Commuter, is in the same category as the Noble, a knockoff of the real thing

The Tern is more of a 'cabin scooter' than a car. Perhaps it would succeed as a commuter? It might do as well as the EMC3 from Eco Motors.

Aptera Motors...

For now, you can only reserve one IF you live in California

Believe me, I tried

At first, they took my $$$, but then credited it back once they realized I was not a Californian.

There is another member here on the board that had the same experience

Thanks for saying that Chief. I was about to say the same thing as I was in the same boat.

It's been years now that you can reserve them.....long before I ever got my smarts.
