You're Wrong About Aptera

[DMC]

What a crazy concept of making a electric vehicle actually very efficient and light. Instead of 5 ton, rolling refrigerator with huge tires and all kinds of rolling resist.

[Helviuss]

I think one of my favorite things about this car is that the CEO planned (atleast on the older prototypes) to make the car modular. With QR codes on specific parts of the vehicle that link you to a video on how to replace said part step by step. They want people to be able to self repair their car and I think thats amazing.

This would make a killer commuter vehicle.
Id quite literally spend $0 on fuel costs just to get to work daily.

In a world where SUVs are becoming the norm and the transition to EVs seem to be producing mostly large and heavy vehicles with terrible handling feel, it is nice to see that someone is trying to do something light, fast and nimble again. I want my EV to drive like a go-kart because go-karts are fun.

The fact that this costs less than a Twike is WILD.

So glad to see this company didn’t die out over its development of this car. I hope to drive one someday

[earthling_parth]

I love the genuine appreciation at end with the disclaimer of no sponsorship or advertisement. I'm excited to see the company succeed at this as well! All the best Aptera ❤

36 years of World Solar Challenge races are starting to pay off...

Rob's assessment of the stability of this vehicle really speaks volumes, he knows a thing or two because he has seen a thing or two. Have you wrecked a twike?

[herz]

it felt like an advertisement because Aptera is so damn interesting and exciting vehicle. I really hope that they will be successful.

I see another benefit to solar panels on top, which solves a big complaint anti-electric car people have. If you get stranded from electricity running out, you aren't entirely screwed. You could wait a few hours in the sun and be able to go a few more miles, or at least keep electricity inside running to help keep you cool or warm while you wait for help.

If we start getting low drag car designs, I'm extremely here for it.

[flightlessboid]

Damn it, I've been following the progress of Aptera for years. Love the car, but it felt like the pregnancy that will never come to term. Then here you come, gushing legitimate, tangible, praise, and I'm all fired up again.

[ickykid]

i know you said that this isn't an ad, but holy crap, your enthusiasm combined with the way this car would match my needs, I'm genuinely considering getting one of these to replace my hybrid whenever they come out. This was a great way to show them off! Thank you for making me aware of them

[Tempsho]

9:01 totally accelerated past the guy trying to take a picture of it! Awesome!

[Tiger-fvnl]

This has to be the coolest most practical electric car I've ever seen. Most people may never have to even plug it in. There is a farmer that lives across the road from us who has an electric mini truck with a solar panel canopy. In 3 years he has never plugged it into an outlet and it's always ready when he is ready to go.

I love how you can measure wall power at 10 miles per hour now. That sounds so wrong. "My wall power goes 10 mph!" "What? Where is it going?!" It's like some reverse "is your fridge running" joke. It's so absurd and I love it.

7:13 - for cars made in the past 30 years, this dude has easily the most interesting fleet on the platform.

You really can pick em' man.

[robertking]

Given that the average commute in my area is about 25 miles, this car could *almost* be driven daily entirely on solar power.

[saberpeep]

I love that this looks like it came straight from a 1990s concept showroom
