I had to drive around Carlsbad today and decided to locate Aptera so I could attend an event there later this month. It's located next to the Upper Deck trading card company. As I am driving around the facility I actually saw Gamma zip behind me in the parking lot. It was breathtaking to see, effortlessly cutting through the air. I think it was Chris M behind the yoke. I drove around the back and saw a GMC in Aptera livery with a flatbed, a loading dock, and an open access ramp leading inside. I had a vision of myself, later this year, returning to pickup my Accelerator Launch Edition. It's going to be great.
If you don't know why the Aprera looks the way it does then you just don't get it.
Marquez is surrounded by a bunch of kids who like blurting out information non-factual information but I also don’t think he should stay his opinion like that
the only ting is... water drops are NOT teardrop shaped at all. Just check and google physics research on the subject. It is relatively new but not that new...
The safety issue is a joke people have been killed by cars while sitting on the couch in their house, you could be walking into Walmart or on a sidewalk and get hit by a car, driving an Aptera is safer than crossing the street, nothing is safe in this world just safer but there’s no guarantee of survival with anything in any vehicle
APTERA IS COMNG, I WILL BE DRIVING ONE IN LESS THAN A YEAR ! (ACCELERATOR) Keep up the good work.
This response is well reasoned, but the comments by the 2 guests on the show, however off the cuff, are childish and reckless given the respect people have for their channel. They have the power of influence and with that power comes responsibility, not great though given that they aren't that popular
Correction: People don't think 3-wheel cars are less safe because they have one less wheel. We naturally think they will be made less safe because 3-wheel cars are classified as auto cycles in the US and don't require the same safety standards and rigorous safety tests that 4 wheel cars do. Most of us who know anything about cars realize that the third wheel car concept is just a go to way for various start ups to get into car production with far lower start up costs precisely because they can skip safety tests and all the added cost that goes with it. I'm hopeful of Aptera and and am investor, but I still remain sceptical of its real safety since they don't have any real world tests yet, just computer models, so we are just taking their word for it, which is not worth anything in the world of hype and lies. Personally, as someone who rides a motorcycle as a daily commuter for both fun and economic savings, I would be fine buying an Aptera even if it was not as safe as a regular car, because it's still substantially safer than a motorcycle and has the potential to be far more efficient to drive and maintain while being funner to drive than a regular sedan or crossover. If it winds up being just as safe or safer than most regular cars, while costing less than a Model 3, that just a bonus for me.
and dont forget the repair right policy
Thanks for this! People on the internet always trying to stir up controversy…thanks for being an adult and giving context and not giving into the temptation to make this a negative topic (we all know negative gets more clicks). Appreciate your content.
Nice video! Just to be perfectly clear about Aptera: I believe almost all of their physics claims! They're like a maximum energy optimization science project with today's battery and material tech! Kinda reminds me of the Mercedes Vision EQXX I got to play with.
Another safety concept is
We hope this will be another Tesla startup success story.
I built a solar powered pickup truck (by converting a Chevy S10) in the early 2000s which. Had a 1.1 KW array where a carpenters rack would go. I got between 15 and 25 miles of free driving a day between April and October here in Maine. Depended on how well I kept the array pointed at the sun. Drove it about 3000 miles a year on sunshine. Could get 2 to 3 miles per kWh around town and could carry about 1000 lb in it’s 6nft bed.
Honestly I'm not a fan of MKBHD. I think his videos are a general example of modern influencer marketing. Also I've seen him give some pretty misleading explanations of things in his videos on general tech, he's definitely not the technical type and he really just says what the companies claim about the products.
It's hard not to harbor negative feelings when your peers don't have the same context as you do due to circumstances, but this video Drew has demonstrated to us that we can address the context charitably and leave the door opens for future discussion / collaboration
My runabout lives on the driveway here in Sydney, open to the sky. I'd likely charge the thing 100% off sun alone as I only need to drive somewhere every other day and go no more than 20km round trip. I'd happily buy the top model with max solar, but with the smallest pack.
Aptera is not for everyone, nor for a majority of vehicle use cases. It’s an excellent commuter car, 2nd car, or vehicle for single or empty nesters. Look at all the successful 2-seater cars sold. Clearly, that’s a huge market.
😮I'd say more generally about the Aptera is that it's scaleable. It's scaleable in that the manufacturing can increase about as fast as those Italian tools can stamp out the structural components. Scaleable in that we don't have to restructure the electrical grid to accommodate 10 million superchargers. Tech optimists don't think about Scaleable, or don't even understand it. But look at this way. The Highway system in southern California isn't scaleable. It worked great back in the day, but chucking billions of dollars at it in the last 50 years hasn't produced a commensurate improvement. What you get is two hour commutes on 10 lane roads. Ultimately it would have been better, cheaper, if they'd kept upgrading urban trolleybuses.
The test cars should be ready this year. We will see if they can meet those safety estimates.
