And the concept of pretending that there was no ill will or malice involved is just outright humorous. Members of the old team were escorted out of the building by armed guards, and one was kicked out of the company by phone while seriously sick in the hospital. There's a reason these people are giggling and making fun of them, and it's not "crash tests are funny".
Which is just absurd. No value? Tons of people have been asking to be able to buy them. And no development vehicle is perfect, but that's no reason to destroy them. Aptera had already done a 35mph crash test (an *actual* crash test) with one of these, and it survived fine. And even if we pretend that's not the case, are we really going to claim that, say, motorcycles are safer than an enclosed composite chassis?
@eldictator1 I received a newsletter from Aptera they say that " The bodies in question were not slated for demolition because on any ill will or malice from any member of the company present or past. These particular 2e's were defective and/or obsolete development properties that no longer had any value to the company. We destroyed the bodies because they were unsafe for use as a vehicle -- with high potential for loss of life if they were involved in a crash.

@KarenRei If Paul Wilbur did not destroy those Aptera Vehicles, I would so buy one for my family.
