planned to be affordable

Got any firm numbers? The article managed to avoid conveying any facts along those lines.

From the Aptera website's FAQ: "The Aptera 2 Series vehicle (electric and hybrid) will range in price from $25,000-$40,000 depending on options and powertrain."

But whether or not that fits one's definition of 'affordable', I couldn't say.

$25K is right at the upper end of affordable(1), although considering the vastly decreased cost of ownership if everything goes right, I wouldn't mind spending a few thousand more.
