Is this the coolest car ever? Alas, it's only available in California right now.

Well, it doesn't really look cool, to be honest.

(Not as cool as your pumpkins anyway -- maybe you can drive one of those?)

Doesn't look cool? What, are you blind? It's freakin' awesome. It'd almost be worth moving to California just to get one.

What's its MSRP? I need that info before I decide how cool the car is.

Edit: found this on the site:

What is the final cost?

The Aptera 2 Series vehicle (electric and hybrid) will range in price from $25,000-$40,000 depending on options and powertrain.

Nope. Not so cool.

Mid 20s to mid 40s, depending on the options. Or so I believe.

Like a typical bean counter. You have no SOUL, man! I'd pay something toward the lower end for one.

I'm sure the price would come down if demand gets high enough to allow for large-scale production.

The thing looks absolutely OBNOXIOUS!!! Which is why I like it.

It might replace the 1957 Messerschmitt KR201 as my new favorite car.
