As we all know by now, Jay Leno gets to play with all of the cool, green cars out there well before the rest of us can. Granted, most of them we’ll never be able to afford anyways — so living vicariously through car-hound Leno in the driver’s seat is the next best thing. We thank the Gods that Letterman didn’t decide to try something similar.
Anyways, in the latest installment of his web series Jay Leno’s Garage — the Tonight Show host takes the incredibly futuristic all-electric Aptera 2e for a test drive. As expected, he’s completely in love with the three-wheeled wonder — and wishes only that Astro from The Jetsons was sitting passenger with him. Of course, there’s another benefit (besides saving fuel) to this vehicle that Jay likes: “Almost every car we pass, someone is taking a picture of this car with their cellphone,” he says. “See, that’s the real key to selling electric cars: making them exciting. And I believe this is really an exciting vehicle.”
We couldn’t agree more. Now if they could make it fly too, we’d truly be living the dream. Check out the video below:
