I thought that was "The Secret of Nickel Metal Hydride" for the longest time.

Most super-cars are not a sequential. A sequential is usually the type of transmission you find in motorcycles. Most flappy paddle transmissions found in sports cars are either a dual clutch automatic or an automated manual.

Check out the documentary made about the GM EV1. They had a viable electric car YEARS ago, yet they abruptly ended the program and destroyed almost all the cars.

Plus 1 on the Aptera! Electric is the future of personal transport, but not in the way it's being implemented. Changing our current ICE cars to electric isn't enough. They are too heavy. The massive batteries require special dedicated charging to charge in a reasonable amount of time. The Aptera is light and doesn't need a huge battery, and doesn't need massive charging current to charge in a reasonable amount of time.
