I really hope this comes to production soon and succeeds, I think it's cooler than the Cybertruck, it looks more like the future I'd want to see.
Any day now and they will have another round of funding keep the faith brother. I hear they are going to release the Aptera coin on Web 3 soon so you can own a part of the company.
Cybertruck looks like a nightmare future. This looks like a cool dreamy future 😮
Aptera will never see mass production it is a scam for low IQ people. Like a $hitcoin. @@CinePhil101
We need more small cars, I hope this is a success :-)
@@plop31 Small by American standards
I guessing this is a hell of a lot lighter than most other EV's.
And that will make performance and range improvements.
I love it.
@@plop31 so get a different car?
@@plop31 it's nice to have options :-), relax a little
@@plop31 How many families of 4 have only 1 car? My wife and I rarely take both our children to the same place. (Life would be a lot simpler if they played the same sports, and had the same interests. But they don't). One 2 seater in the fam wouldn't hurt at all.
Most people still have no idea this exists or thinks that Aptera is serious.
It's more known then you think and the company continues to get more press and exposure. Tesla went through the same thing, and they still don't even do advertising.
@@bigredog100 And yet the most frequent question I get about my Model 3 is, "Is this the new Toyota?"
And that’s a good thing
Looks like an alien probe…… for your 🍑
It doesn't exist till it ships to customers. It sure feels close to existing. It's the supercar of efficiency. Carbon fiber tub, the look, it's quick, with efficiency between an e-bike and a Model 3 unless it's sunny, and you don't drive far...
Feels good catching on before the rest of society. Aptera or Cyber truck hmm
I like your critique. No recycled bs or cliches. A review one can trust. Remarks on issues many of us Aptera fans and investors wonder about. Like turning radius, seats and headrests, ac around the display, no need for exterior mirrors because of great displays. And being tested by a Tesla expert, it gives me lots of confidence. Thank you.
If a Tesla Pro is impressed with the Aptera; it gives hope for all of us--IF THEY CAN BUILD IT TO SCALE!
It's interesting what you were saying about the back wheel in turns.no curb rashing here.better visability from side windows too. Nissan Leaf really bad for visability there.still a great car tho...
Aptera fans care about the vehicle, Aptera investors should care much more about the business model/business case. Unfortunately Aptera has a problem with the latter: to make this vehicle at a reasonable price and at a reasonable profit they will have to scale it to a point where supply will outstrip demand. That means that no serious investor will bankroll the ramp because, simply put, it isn't realistic. Even if it were realistic it is notoriously difficult to ramp a new product as expensive and complex as an automobile, even when the demand would actually match supply at a market clearing price. Hats off to them for getting a prototype to this level but I seriously doubt that this gets to production and stays there.
@@bluetoad2668if Ford could do it when nobody was driving back then, I don't see where these guys couldn't do it.
@@MrGamelover23 people were already driving cars when Henry Ford introduced his revolutionary production line based manufacturing process. Aptera is not in a comparable position to Ford, that's a false equivalence.
Production costs for Aptera are higher on a per unit basis than their proposed selling price. The only way to reduce those costs is to scale but scaling requires a demand much higher than that which exists for their vehicle. It is a 2 seat, 3 wheeler - it might be a great vehicle but it does not have the demand. On the subject of the carbon fibre body, are they going to have them all made in Italy and shipped over to the US? That's crazy. Are they going to set up a factory to mass produce carbon fibre bodies in the US? Check out how BMW got on with the carbon body on the i3.
Drew has a little trouble containing his enthusiasm. It’s great watching a review by someone who already knows so much about the Aptera but is seeing it for the first time.
Looking forward to the interview! (Not to mention MY first ride in an Aptera!)
He was told to act excited. What would you do if you knew you weren't getting your deposit back and that the only snowball's chance of getting an Aptera is to shill for it as hard as possible?
@@killr0yit might be hard for you to believe, but the people who put deposits in ahead of time were already passionate about the vehicles. They seem to be going really smoothly with production anyway, so not sure what you’re complaining aboht
Killjoy@@killr0y
@@killr0yTroll. Were you there to witness what you claim. I suspect not. You’re just making stuff up. And why should I place any… any credence in your ability to predict the future. Go buy a lottery ticket.
@@killr0y Everyone's deposits are held in escrow and can be requested to be returned at any time. Aptera does not have access to the deposit money until the vehicle is delivered. Stop using your imagination, and do some due diligence regarding actual facts.

We all need this, for the best of our future. Efficient, solar, comfortable, fun and everything we need on a daily basis. Big SUVs have their own utility, but most probably don't need it more than 10% of the time. This will be the preferred mode if you drive anything under 50 miles and don't need more than 2 seats for works or errands. Glad I am part of the mission with my reservation. Best wishes!
yeah, right, let's not have hobbies that require materials, stuff and so....let's pretend we all want to live like you in the future. Let's also imagine that we don't need to haul more than two people, because, you know, families in general and children specifically suck and are climate murderers.
I would drive one for long distance road trips if I didnt have a family. The efficiency!
So efficient you need a second, proper car in your garage. That will definitely save some resources.
@@miskatonic6210lots of people in the US have 2 cars or more
Yes! I have been waiting for this video release! Note the cyber truck is about to be delivered, yet how few people have driven or been inside it, and yet Aptera invites the world to test out their alpha, beta and gamma vehicles, or sit inside and shares every update.
So interesting getting to see all of the features up close. Makes me want to preorder one. I’m 6’3” too so it was great seeing a taller guy sit in it confidently.
Actually saw a guy that was 6’6” sit in it. He said it was much easier to get in than a regular car. Production model will be a bit bigger too.
@@hardcoreherbivore4730 Awesome! 2% to 4% bigger will be PERFECT for me.
Few deserve this experience more than you. You've been an Aptera enthusiast from the beginning. So glad they let you on board to try it out!
Very cool! The only thing cooler would be if this came fresh off a busy production line!😊
haha. It never will. Not enough profit on each one to sustain a company. If they were available, everybody would buy one, leaving conventional cars in oblivion.
@@edwardgabriel5281 No, if that were the case, they would just raise the purchase price till it matches their need. People would be buying this car even if it was 2X as much$$.
@@markpetty9206 There was another 3 wheel car with ice that would have sold like crazy and it disappeared leaving everyone's tongue hanging out.
Wow. If I say much more I'll put my foot in my mouth but... I'm already a reservation holder and a bit more. I felt like I was there with you. That was incredible! I'm more sold on Aptera than I was before (and I already believed in the Aptera mission 100%.)
Drew, Of all the folks to make videos of the Aptera, I related to yours the best. It's OK with me that you're so into it. I'm also a believer, a fan, and can't wait to get mine. I appreciate the comparison to the Tesla Model 3. I can't wait to see your interview with Chris Anthony and Jason Hill. Thanks so much!
I would really love a car that can recharge 40 miles a day by just being outside. Really cool.
Elon Musk says that would be impossible
@@nateg7100he says a lot of things 😂
@@nateg7100 Elon isn't making light weight aerodynamic vehicles like this
@@ipadbossbaby4558 It still weighs 2,000 pounds. If you have any experience with solar panels you know 700 watts can barely power a refrigerator let alone a 2,000 pound vehicle for 40 miles. Its a lie.
as someone who has also ridden in gamma I can relate to your excitement . I too was floored by everything about aptera, it's truly a groundbreaking vehicle. the latest renders of the PI build seem to show that even gamma will look like yesterdays news in comparison, which is saying ALOT, since gamma is extremely impressive. one can't FULLY appreciate aptera until you see it in person, this vehicle is going to be sooooooooooooo EPIC!!
our wait for our LE accelerator is going to be soooooooooo looong!!!
Jerry & Helen M.
Exactly. My wife, Judy and I rode in the Alpha Luna in 2021, and even then it was more refined and had higher performance than a Kelmark GT kit car I once owned. I was expecting something with that level of fit and finish. The PI builds will be like going from a kit car to a supercar. The "delay" if you will, will have been WELL worth it for the increase in quality.
I love that you layed down in the back! I was wondering the same thing, and I'm also 5'11".
There be plans for a tent to go over the open hatch and tie to the body- which would make it a dandy tent camper
I actually interviewed with the company. I'm a 8 yr EV tech with cars many people speak highly from and on and I am genuinely excited to see this puppy on the road. Efficiency and modularity is key moving forward for ECO consumption reasons and this really has a lot going for it beyond hype.
Great job here Drew. Your first impressions are genuine and unfiltered. We appreciate the input of your wife and uncle also, particularly because they nearly represent each end of the size spectrum. It pumps me up to see how much you're liking the vehicle and what you're seeing for the first time. Thank you Aptera for being so open during your development, we love what you are doing, and thank you Drew for bringing this to all of us!!
This is looks amazing!! Thanks Drew for covering this masterpiece 😮🙂
And this version (apart from updated solar) is basically 18 months of improvements out of date. Pi will be another leap in quality. Cfsmc body, updated hatch, bunk, pants, interior etc are great stuff.
@@ccibinel what!!! Still so cool. Thanks for updating me sir.
I have never heard of this before until just now and WOW... I am in love
This vehicle is more important than the Cybertruck. When Apetera starts full production they will sell everyone they make. This is what we need, an affordable, easy-to-maintain, and enjoyable vehicle we all can buy.
They may sell every one they make, but gearing up for mass production is a huge job.
Agreed! This is proving to be very tough
I can't wait for people to start discussing aero stats like we understand mpg. Aptera is *very* aerodynamic. Miles to watt hour is also *very* good as well.
@@paulas_lens "Aero Stats" have been discussed in "car culture" dialogue for quite awhile but the folks involved in the conversation are mostly more on the "techie" side of the population. I still have a Jay Leno review of the older version that was around back in the 2020-2021 period. I'm pleased to see it returning. I know that introducing a new product is a difficult, stressful process. It's easy to sit on the sidelines (online) at try to pick holes in a new introduction and it just shows the cynical attitude that prevails online.
For an urban, short trip vehicle, this looks to be perfect. I don't know how durable it might be though. Careful, cautious driving isn't that common around most cities. I hope it survives.
what's price with full solar capability expected to be?
Please do not put black tape over the copper of solar tiles if it’s not for a functional reason! Like the Apteras body itself seeing solar panels in action is a strong statement. ❤
100%
I second that
Like your uncle Todd, I am also... 1.) 6 foot tall plus a couple inches to spare. 2.) I dreamed of similar futuristic cars when I was reading Sunday comics as a boy. 3.) my favorite car growing up in high school was the Datsun 240Z-- which was also considered "futuristic" back in the '70s as well. So glad you included your uncle Todd in this vid.
Right on, glad you connected to his experience!
The hatch gives me STRONG 944 vibes. I love that.
This is one of the best Aptera videos I’ve seen since I learned about the car. Great job. Knowing it’s only a prototype, how quiet it was inside at speed with the windows up?
This one was a little louder than my Model 3 but it's body is made out of a completely different material than the production model which will have an effect on the noise so I didn't think it was worth commenting on
@@TailosiveEVgreat point, aptera has said that gamma doesn't have the production intent dampening :)
@@TailosiveEV That’s what I thought. Thanks for replying. I’m super excited for the Aptera. They seem to be doing everything right.
How would you know how a production model is if it doesn't exist and by that what does that tell me about the prospective production date? I mean I love this car and I hope it comes to market so I could get one at some point in the future but let's be real.@@TailosiveEV
Drew, I am so glad to see your excitement. My wife and I rode in an alpha prototype in November of 2021, and the progress has been astounding. Even the gamma, which was once going to be quite similar to the production intent builds has fallen fall short of what is going to be delivered! My wife and I placed the 42nd order Aptera got - for a Paradigm edition.
Excited for you guys to both get one!
Did you have to pay a large amount up front?
@@bluetoad2668 No, we just paid the $100 pre-order fee. We have also invested, but that was not directly connected to our order.
@@n.brucenelson5920 ok, didn't know that, I thought that you had to put down more but that it was also an investment. Thanks very much.
@@bluetoad2668 No - investments and pre-order fees are separate categories. Pre-orders are fully refundable on request. Investments are at risk and may or may not become liquid at a future date.
Wow! I've never seen you so excited in years probably! Can't wait for the interview
Great job with a down to earth first live viewing and drive!
Can’t wait for this vehicle. Even with a decent daily commute, it may never need to be plugged in.
Even more excited about my reservation.
Love it. We could save so much energy by making cars lighter. 2 tonnes for a small car like a Model 3 or Polestar 2 is just ridiculous.
That smile is what I'm expecting when I get mine
Great review. I have watched a lot of Aptera videos and you provided two insights that I have never heard before; the driving/steering wheel center and the rear wheel curb rash! I enjoyed watching your reaction driving and could feel the excitement. It was awesome, imaged myself driving and feeling that same excitement! As an Accelerator Investor, hoping to have this vehicle by the end of next summer!
As a dedicated shareholder, thank you for your support. 👍
Thank you too!
Love your enthusiasm for all that you’ve reviewed. I do have reservation and I invested in this company. I had a reservation for the cybertruck, but canceled it. The is more practical for me and my wife. I’m a family of 6. Kids are grown up. Now time for adventure with the wife. Have a van, if the family wants to come along.🙄😂👍🏻
Good choice!
I like how this guy seems to be a car enthusiast in general, speaks a lot to the driving experience
Thanks Drew. This was a really fun drive-along review. I'm jealous now. I got the sense that there is a Q&A to follow. 🚗🌞
Editing it right now
Perfect dialogue to end the vid; Drew: "I've got so many questions." Chris A. "We've got answers." Aptera's new tagline could be; "Aptera is the answer. What's your question?" Already looking forward to your interview w/ the braintrust at Aptera. Keep up the great work Tailosive.
I think you’ll love it! Happy to hear
Your camera opperator/wife had THE BEST line in the vid... "Cyber trucks & Apteras only. Nothing in between." Couldn't have said it any better w/ such an efficiency of words-- which makes perfect sense in the world's MOST EFFICIENT vehicle. This is the best "...1st Aptera driving" video done to date. Well done Drew from start to finish.
Thanks so much!
When I was a kid this is what I imagined cars of the future would be. Compact and self-charging.
Wedding day vibes indeed! Drew, brilliant job on your Aptera video! Your feature descriptions and test drive of the Aptera Solar EV, helped us all experience the thrill of driving this must-have vehicle! Smart, Sustainable, Stylish. You and Aptera NAILED IT!!!
Duuuude..... Awesome! You hit the nail with this video! Thank you sooo muuuch!!!!!! I have a reservation since some time ago, I just wait to have my own.
Absolutely enjoyed this review and test drive. I have only sat in Gamma but am *so* looking forward to driving it!
Thank you Drew. This video answered the last questions I had about Aptera. Just did the reservation
I reserved one a little over a year ago and haven't been following the reservations, would you mind sharing roughly what number you are?
This video has me thinking these might actually get delivered one day.
The AC around the display is genius. Those displays get so hot.
Good point about no curb rash on the back. Hadn’t thought about that benefit.
aGREED. i THOUGHT ABOUT THAT A YEAR OR SO AGO AS i BRUSHED THE CURB (AGAIN) WITH MY REAR RIGHT TIRE.
Dude that’s SO AWESOME GREAT JOB DREW!!!!! Ive been watchin ya since the old house watchin your Channel grow. So proud of you, Ik you absolutely love Aptera, love that you got to experience and show us ☺️!
So few compromises and so many advantages! Good, better, best. Never let it rest till the good is better and the better best, that is what Aptera is. I am a believer too!
The only compromise is seats. I am so happy to see a car that is willing to sacrifice the thing I don't need in order to get all of the things that I want and can't get anywhere else.
I really love the stark display of the spedo on my 07 Prius, because it is as far forward as possible under the windshield. This is a feature I would like to see widely adopted. When one is driving down the road, close up displays make no sense at all for ease on the eyes. Young people may not notice, but older people sure will.
I've been following the Aptera project for some time now. It is to me one of the most exciting takes on electrifying personal transportation. The cybertruck is awful in every way.
I love this car. Definitely the way EVs and maybe even petrol cars should be moving. I do obviously like and sometimes need more space but this car is perfect for 95% of car trips. The fact is charges with the sun is just amazing, which I'd consider giving up extra space for. My only downside I have is that it isn't at least a 3 seater
IIRC, They said in one video awhile back that there were plans to elongate it and give it 2nd row of seats. But they wanted the proof of concept and narrow focus to just get it out there first, I imagine. Maybe someone can link the video i'm talking about for us.
@@ajmwolf a 4 seater, three wheeler? Keep dreaming.
I forget the number but the number of people on the roads with anything other than just one person riding in a car truck is super low. No point in heavily reducing efficiency for a scenario that is rather rare.
@@abrahamsanchez7331 you seriously think that's the way people reason when they buy a vehicle? This car is a 2 seat 3 wheeler which costs not much less than a 4/5 seat , 4 wheeler - demand will be smaller than required to make a profit. Take a look at Arcimoto, they also make 2 seater 3 wheeled EVs and suffered a similar demand problem.
The quality seems pretty good on this version. The door sound pretty solid when they shut.
That looked like so much fun to drive. I can't wait!!!
I’ve seen many of Drew’s videos…This was my favorite….I think Drew’s favorite also.
Thanks for commenting on split side window, side vision was my biggest concern. Aptera rocks!
I'm ready for my Aptera!
So Jelly! Makes want to increase my investment to be able to get one sooner.... I really liked your review and your experience in checking everything out. It was filled with great comparisons and descriptions to give us a real sense of what you were experiencing. Thanks!
I really want this car to be my next one.
Thanks for doing this video. I have a reservation and was a bit concerned after experiencing the VR version of the car. It seemed small and visibility wasn’t good in it, but I think the scale was off in the VR render. Can’t wait to see people’s reviews of the launch edition. I’m going to wait for the longest range version. Hopefully they will include a heated steering wheel by then, I currently use one almost all the time. Maybe you could request one for me 😉👍😁.
if it gets reliable, quiet&comfortable and ready for EU rules I will be buying one (I have a reservation)
Everybody would freakout if I drove one of these and it's the only EV out there that's more efficient than my old Ioniq.
It's so obvious you're in seventh heaven! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I can't wait to see these things on the road.
Congrats on scoring this drive. Have been watching you grow this channel and I just wanted to say, you are rocking it!
That thing is wild...as i expected. You are my height so this really puts the interior space into persepctive.
Im really rooting for this thing. Have been following for years now. Its going to be really sick to see this spaceship on the road
You missed the opportunity for a "there's so much more room for activities" moment. You came so close to it too 😭. Not gonna lie though, these look like they belong in the air to me and are growing on me
Hey OP, this writer was a combat flyer and your views of this EV as 'an aircraft' sans wings is on the mark. Its the feature that first caught my attention
The Gamma was the original design production intent vehicle. That interesting material you rubbed is Kevlar in a polyurethane matrix that comes in sheets and is moldable. It forms a tunnel that is structural and would keep the front and rear suspension in sync. So to speak. But they found a way to really mass produce with a new process that the cybertruck and Toyota is using in some of its new trucks beds. SMC! But Aptera may be the first one to bring a safety cell to the masses. Along with an elegant platform for the batteries, crush cans and suspension.
I am glad to hear your uncles comparison to the 240. I had a 280ZX 2+2 turbo. I was a good road car. A little light in the rear and a 5th gear that had no legal use. Your audio really picked up the motor sound nicely.
Great test drive video. So close to the final production model. Looks fast fun and comfortable.
Very cool video! Excited for when they get to production!
I’m 6’5 and also named Todd. Shoutout to your Uncle Todd. I want one. That is a really cool looking car.
I would love to see a closeup on the back"mirror" / screen. I expected a mediocre quality thing like many cars have, but it looks like really solid! 😀
This is how an ev should be!Not this Tanks with monster batteries!
Have you watched that Hagerty episode on the Cybertruck? The Hummer is a brick! Omg
Really great detailed take. Very useful to this EV industry vet. And honestly I was surprised that you would be so knowledgeable. Subscribing.
Jake from Adventure Time !!! Give that woman more air time. She’s hilarious.
Loved witnessing your excitement coming from a well-informed background. Can't wait for the interview.
Updating Gamma closer to production-intent is good marketing.
I found out about Aptera about two months ago and personally really really love it. So far it seems to be everything I am looking for in a car. EV with solar, sleek futuristic design, quiet as hell, good power, two seater and most importantly, reasonably priced.
However, here is where my fears start to kick in. Unfortunately companies come and go all the time and while Aptera has a lot of potential, I am nervous of long term use. I personally do not travel far often and never go camping or anything so I don’t worry about any of that. However I do worry about the things like repairability. I know that as an EV it has a lot less moving parts, however if something goes wrong from a touchscreen that stops working to even changing the wheels (especially the back one) I am getting that feeling of trepidation that if I owned one of these and something went wrong I’d be told something like, “well we have only one dealer that’s located in California and the wait times are over a year for service”.
I currently drive a Hybrid Civic and love it because it’s so common that you can find parts everywhere for it. For someone like me who cannot repair cars at all, it helps knowing any mechanic probably has what I am looking for. That’s the reason I currently drive what I drive.
Aptera is a right to repair company and will strive for 24 houir parts turnaround. I live in Iowa and have already had my local repair shops tell me that they will be glad to work on my Aptera when I get it. The plan to have mobile repair folks in Southern California, but the first several thousand Launch Edition vehicles will have to be picked up in person in California in any case.
This is amazing content effort. Thank you for doing this.
Design sort of looks like a 2 seat plane in terms of cabin space, so pretty cool. As light as it needs to be, and no lighter. 8)
Congrats! Very proud to see the journey you've had to get to here
*OMG* I love it sooo much!!! Can't wait to get one here on Iceland!!! Order placed two years ago!!!
I'm so jealous. It was cool to see your excitement.
With all wheel drive, this is the first vehicle I know that is a 3x3.
Who knows other 3x3 vehicles
I’m so happy for you 🎉
❤ Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing it and driving it.
Talk about being “charged” by a visit/ride… I understand… and appreciate your reaction “ at this point in the development “, as I compare it to when I rode in the Alpha “Sol” back in 2021. I sat in all the development vehicles since. I too am 5’11 ish.
The advancement to solar cell glass encapsulation is First GLASS ( Class ) !
Re your comment to marriage 🤔 That should have been an interesting comment for your ride home?! 😉BTW you both make a great team for this type of “experience” .
Nice blend of your acquired Aptera knowledge and your first comments. Once your findings are “digested”….your follow up interview should be great. Thanks for bringing all your “ gauge people” / family along 😉. Thanks all!
Anyone miss Tesla private stock 20 years ago now is your chance to buy Aptera stock for $10.50 per share.
Now this was an awesome review and drive along 🤙 Good job Drew and thank you Aptera Team!
I loved your video thank you! Excited to have one
Amazing! Got one on order.
i can't wait to drive that at mexico...
This was such a long time coming! Can’t think of any other creator more deserving of a test drive of one of these things. Love to see it. The Aptera rep who was riding shotgun was a very fun addition to the video, too!
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Wow, looks like I'll have to pick one of these up in the future!
Drew, tell uncle Todd who is close to my age, my second car was a Datsun 240Z after selling a muscle car getting 12 mpg on a good day.
When I lived on Maui I owned a Datsun SPL 311 convertible sports car that came out before the 240 Z. It was a really fun car to have in Hawaii
Great review Drew, we really liked your emotional take, and you asked good questions. We saw Cybertruck yesterday at Littleton, CO Tesla Center, like you we are excited and if we can afford it we'll have a CT and an Aptera in our driveway ... 2025? Our 2018 model 3 is still doing well on double duty, great car. We did see the Gamma last year at the reveal in San Diego, but didn't get to sit in it or drive it. What a car!
Great first look! I love the quirkiness of the Aptera. I think this and the Cybertruck would be a great two-car solution.
I'd also like a hybrid or ice car for the next few years. I live in the northeast.
"Window works for the Dunkins drive through". Build It!
I'm curious about highway driving, and how lane keeping and adaptive cruise control works. Seems like a great commuter car.
Your wife is the first person I've heard who acknowledges that the steering wheel looks like the kid from Adventure Time. I've been saying this for ages now. LOL. Anyway, with the seats pushed forward slightly, it seems like they _could_ have put a third seat where the flat back area drops down into the cabin, for small-ish people. That would make it perfect for me because I have a son, but it's too far along to add such a feature. Maybe in the larger iteration coming in a few years.
The seats move forward about 12" - so people in the front would need to have their knees on the dashboard and anyone in a rear seat would have to have no lower limbs. Plus there isn't any empty space beneath rear storage deck or behind seating area.
Hello kitty 😻
@@narphizoid6:19 As you can see at that point in the video, there definitely is room for legs of a "small-ish" person.
Aptera is planning to offer a 3rd kid's seat in the back as a option, but it won't be available in the initial release.
@@amosbatto3051Okay, cool. I haven't heard this but it's good to know. I have heard that a later version will offer seating for 4 or more adults, but that's probably at least three years away assuming they can get to production (fingers crossed).
I can’t wait to get my Aptera, but don’t want one of the first 2000 built when living on the opposite coast from factory.
I live in Iowa. I have already spoken with my local service people and they can hardly wait to see it!
I think this will do well if they can productize it and get it out on the market. Seems like there is still some work to do, but I hope they make it.
Thanks for a fun ride
Congrats on getting to check this out! Really good week for the channel
