I’ve never owned a camper, so sorry if I sound stupid, but wouldn’t an inflatable camper make more sense? Something like those jump houses. Less weight, less volume when packed, more volume when expanded, less drag, less cost, no? Inflatables don't make sense on ICE cars, but EVs have tons of...

Chinese EVs are dominating the world and in many countries they wiped the floor with US and EU cars. And this includes all the parameters: safety, price, looks, features, reliability. Shielding big Detroit from competition is what got us in this situation.

I’m mainly looking for a fun vehicle or a car I can tinker with, so my second choice would be Aptera. If neither works out, I’ll go with Kia EV6.

Exactly! That's the whole point.

Printing it tilted 45 degrees will remove some of those lines on the hood

I would say $1K .. 2.5k$ Would not expect it being standard. Best case -- it will be an option. Worst case -- it will not be available at all.
