In today's video we review Aptera's newest Gamma prototype. This auto cycle is capable of over 1,000 miles of range per day. The best part is that it can also recharge 40 miles a day with built in solar panels.
This is the model that I've been waiting for. I'm ready for it.
We are ready too!
What an amazing time to be alive !
Congratulations on the invite!
Thank you so much!!
I'd like to see cargo secure points and tie downs of some sort as loose cargo is potentially dangerous if not fatal in an accident.
Just don't get in an accident, but seriously though - Hauling cargo in that? You've gotta be kidding, that thing is meant for groceries and maybe some IKEA furniture every now and then. I'd love to see someone throw 1000lbs worth of cargo in there (or just a good sized 40" by 60" welding table), that'd be a good video for WhistlinDiesel.
If you are even thinking of carrying cargo that's heavy enough to need tied down just go out and buy a used beat-to-shit pickup truck for hauling shit and you wouldn't be wearing out your battery in your nice new electric car (because I guarantee that's going to be a hell of a lot more expensive then a farm truck). Hell, you could even attach a trailer and haul some real cargo.
Personally I am really happy to see the variant without the solar hood. I am really concerned aptera will attract people to vandalize it if parked outside and my only option for outside parking is quite covered anyway. I live in BC so our power is ~$0.12 USD / kwh, which makes the on vehicle solar less important. As a result I'm one of few Aptera fans with very little interest in the solar aspect. This just leaves it an affordable 2 seater sports car with good storage that can be meaningfully charged with 120V at home, very good range, AWD, and 3.5 second 0-60; this is still a ton for a sub $35k USD EV.
I’m still considering which solar option will be best for me as well. With how cheap electricity is for you in BC and with lack of constant sun it makes sense that you are not considering the solar option.
For sun $35k it does make a great 2 seater sports car as well like you said with the 0-60 being only 3.5 seconds
My feeling is that even in BC, you get long summers and relatively clear skies, so the solar would make a great contribution for times you might wish to go camping. In addition, I suspect full solar is going to add at least what it cost to the resale value if that is ever an issue for you.
Fine for you. You don't live in California where electric rates are extremely high. Thankfully our sunny weather will take advantage of the solar panels. Getting 40 miles per day from the sun will be more than enough for my needs. I will rarely ever have to plug mine in.
Awesome, can't wait for Delta!
I'd pay full price today if they'd let me. $100 will have to suffice for now
I’d buy one and drive it off the lot today if I could
Certainly an interesting play on electric cars
It’s currently one of my favorites (for the price)
Since Sandy Munro is involved, I am sure some serious high efficiency automotive engineering has gone into Aptera's design. And it keeps getting better with every version.

@@richpate9436 can u expand on that? like who is he? like what made u draw that conclusion?
@@yash1152 He's the guy who backed Archimoto.
i ordered the Tri motor 600 mile version, I normally go silver but the black was calling to me. finally the price tag 41k with lane assist and the off road package. i hope i don't have trouble getting that 7500 government rebate to help me pay for this. Ideally i would like a 5 year payment plan or longer but i can do 4 year reluctantly. I could also make sacrifices and buy it outright but that is not my goal here.
Check for yourself but the last few times I heard motorcycle like EVs don't qualify for the new IRA rebate.
Yeah, unfortunately auto cycles are not included in the new EV rebate program but Aptera is attempting to lobby for them to be included
The first 2-3 seconds of this video triggers Siri on my iphone/mac computer, I wonder why :P
I am interested to see crash tests on this car.
So are we! Hopefully we will see some of those figures within the next 6 months or so
This would make a good commuter for me. I drove 44k in my model x last year. Expected to have my CT soon-ish but I’m realizing that’s still several years away.
This probably is too though, ordered a delta
Nobody orders their prototypes - all orders are Delta.
@@aussieideasman8498 fixed for your sanity
@@lazerusmfh If you think it's here - you're insane.
Sure hope they drop that terrible yoke to steer the car.
It would be nice if they gave users the option to choose steer wheel type
Does the vehicle have airbags?
Perhaps
@@uabir8338 Perhaps??, I'm still too young to say goodbye to this life, no thanks.
Aptera’s reps assured me the final production model will be shipped with some kind of airbag technology but could not say more
One driver and one passenger airbag per Chris.
@@jaybusby8299 I have noticed the lack of side airbags in the seats. Given apteras insistence it's an autocycle and not a car would only apply in the usa. For most other justifications it will be classed as a car therefore must pass all safety requirements of a car. That will be interesting to say the least.
When they told you the expected delivery date, they already knew it would be put back years because they knew about their shift to CPCs body shell months before the Gamma reveal. They lie a lot.
If I pre order, will I be getting that attractive woman (shown in the end) with the car?
No, sorry, sold out. But you may still get an attractive guy since I hear there are a few left.
@@richpate9436 doesn't matter, had seks.
She may be attractive, but try listening to her?
Very cool, but it also looks like it'd be absolutely destroyed in any significant impact, along with it's occupants. What is it's top expected speed?
facts
110 mph. It's safer than a jeep Wrangler. I'd expect it will be somewhere between a new mini Cooper, smart car, and Honda civic. It's not that small and it can support a suburban on its roof pretty easily.
limited to 110, a update could be released by Aptera themselves to unlock more speed.
It is rpm limited to 110 mph. I expect due to the motor controller clock speed. The safety design has been extensive with front and rear crumple zones, air bags, seat belts, and an F1 style passenger safety cage made with Kevlar and carbon fiber. It will be voluntarily tested by a third party to FMVSS part 200 crash testing standards and the ratings and probably video of the tests will be published once there are delta vehicles available to test. None of this is required by law, and the fact that they are doing it says a great deal to me.
@@Oblivionsurveyor I suspect that the motor controllers would need to be replaced by ones with a higher clock speed.
Call me when it's Omega finally. Never cared about concept cars and not going to give a single fuck now.
Aptera plans to have Delta released before the end of 2022 and that is the final release concept.
Then deliveries in 2023! 😊
which numered letter is omega??
@@yash1152 there is no Omega. This guy is just a sad troll unless he’s naming the production model Omega for some reason?
@@yash1152 Alfa and Omega. First and last. Beginning and end. And yeah the comment was a troll on naming scheme....
@@AIAddict No deliveries in 23, either.
The Aptera has got to get 400 miles of range off the bat or it will fail, preferably 1,000 miles of range. It's an ergonomic design but very odd too. The Aptera looks purpose built to go far, not fast. If the range is limited, no one will buy it.
The first models rolling off the production line will have 41 usable kWh of capacity allowing the Aptera to travel 400 miles on a single charge.
They plan to use a modular battery design to then include a 600 mile version before releasing the 250 and 1000 mile ranges. My Tesla Long Range is not even close to the 400 mile point so this Aptera will be huge!
Additionally the Aptera is capable of 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds which is not slow.
@@AIAddict I believe Aptera must concentrate on the long range game, not 0-60 times. Tesla has the speed but not the range... yet. Aptera must offer 600 miles - 1000 miles of range ASAP if it's going to survive. I can't even imagine how much money Aptera has burned through to get to this point.
@@davidhunternyc1 Compared to some startups *coughfarawayfuturecough* Aptera has been developed for remarkably little so far.
@@davidhunternyc1 I strongly disagree. Putting a rivian size pack in a small vehicle for range bragging rights is silly. Even 400 miles is over 6 hours of driving at highway speed. Making more cheap vehicles with less cells and good range is important. Aptera is essentially the best performance per dollar possible.
@@ccibinel I'll wait for them to do security tests, it's futuristic, so let's wait for those tests.
