It is incredible how much the Aptera folks love the car. It comes out in every video that I have seen. Disclaimer: I became an Aptera Ambassador this past week.
Hey! Congratulations Jeff! ok, now, what exactly is an Aptera Ambassador and how does one become one? I keep hearing people use the term. Do you get to wear a ribbon across your chest like a diplomat? :D
@@fanfare100 Hey, thanks for the congrats. You get advance and sometimes exclusive access to having questions answered by Aptera people, and we get to spend volunteer time answering questions on social media and on lobbying efforts where needed.
I just have to say Nathan, you are just so intelligent, amazing and enjoyable to listen to. I just can’t comprehend how you can be so technically minded, yet so available, relatable and passionate. I have reserved a car in great part because of you. One can’t help but trust. I am very encouraged and grateful for myself of course, but also for the planet.
I plan to make the Aptera my Primary Vehicle, including for long-distance business travel, and then reserve the Mistubishi Mirage for when I need to tote around more passengers.
Thanks for gathering all that information together! This is as amazing as I thought it would be, Assuming it hits the moon, i believe it will be super safe. I ride a moped all day long and its super fun. I just ride around when I'm free.
Perhaps use bio-mimicry to design a 4 wheel drive, off road Aptera that can sense obstacles coming and extend its suspension to avoid them. Then get one of those young manics to drive it in a sporty fashion.
"...Things that don't change..." The analogy to Porsche is quite apt. I bought a 2012 Carerra because the line reminded me of the original concept by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. Now there is a 2022 Porsche GT3 that really looks a lot like my car despite none of the parts being compatible. I appreciate that my 2012 Porsche looks like the 1963 concept model and also the 2022 model. I'd love to see Aptera take the same general approach. AF
Thanks for your support. Help spread the word. The more people learn about Aptera, the better they will be funded and the sooner the car will get into production.
I am really liking what I am hearing about this EV. Highly efficient is highly cool IMO. Getting me down the road in a fun way curtesy of the Sun, is also very cool. I have not heard any mention of whether the vehicle will be equipped to serve as a power source for other uses though (i.e. job/camping site 120v power or even better, a 240v home back-up in the event of a power outage). Any information in regard to that would be appreciated.
Second Question: What is the Coolant in the "Skin" for the batteries? Can it be Checked, Topped up, Serviced, Could a Rock damage the lower body? if so, what is the repair Steps?
Curious if they considered placing the rear view cameras on the front tires instead of little wings. Also would like to know what kind of curb it can hit. Driveways around here often are just a curb. While I don’t think the car will bottom out, the skirts on the wheels may not handle the shape. A crawl button to carefully climb on or off such a curb would be cool.
I have a Question, which is referring to the Crash test on the Front of the Aptera: What happens when the Aptera gets rear-ended? It looks to me with the 'Rear Suspension' that the Aptera could be tossed into the air, or Flipped if Struck by a Lower Sitting vehicle!?
Will AP be capable of optimally navigating to chargers, selectively, weighting driver prioritization (relative or specific) among Time, Speed, Distance, & Cost, preferences?
Octovalve is a Tesla specific part. Any tech sharing talks between Aptera and Tesla are presently under NDA. However, Aptera has significant IP around heat management in the Aptera, along with better insulation in the cabin and less waste heat to deal with than any Tesla.
@@n.brucenelson5920 For those living in tropical climates, could one save some dough by having them omit the heater and only include the AC? My car in Panama had no heat, only AC. Why pay for heat if you're never gonna use it? It would be a waste.
@@fanfare100 You could send them a request. I suspect this just leaving it out would cause errors in the climate control systems software that would cost more to fix than just omitting the hardware would save. You could email them and ask.
That has been asked before. They answered that they have no plans for that because it would not save you significant money, because assembly is so simple. It would only complicate things such as shipping and developing instructions. If fact it may cost you more to acquire the tooling needed to build one. Maybe you would like to apply for a job at one of their factories. They are planning to open them around the country and the world as they grow production. Given that they will make repair instructions freely available, it should be really easy to customize.
@@fotoguru222 I was wanting to be a test and tuning facility and repair station for the company I'm in central California I'm sure that's gonna be the 1st place this car goes.
I don’t want to be bashing anyone but here goes…. For the DEVC being a group devoted to Electric vehicles you all seem incredibly stupid as to what Aptera is and does or how it works! Aptera didn’t just appear this year, it has been coming for sometime and has taken part in some long endurance competitions where I was first introduced to Aptera. I find it hard to believe a group of individuals dedicated to electric vehicles seem to be oblivious about Aptera. I have been patiently waiting for these vehicles to become available and now I’m ready and not only for the first design I’m ready for the introduction of another design that increases to passenger capacity to 4 or more occupants. Keep up the great work Aptera. And I would assume a lot of people on the east coast affected by the Colonial Pipeline issue would love to have this vehicle NOW!
Lets have straight simple answers with any detsils after. Yes it can do 1,000 miles on a single charge. It will get 10 miles per kWh . More or less depending on your driving, hills, heat or air cond etc.
I wonder if Apple is interested in the Aptera (??). I am convinced Apple would be the natural partner for Aptera. Tesla/Toyota are going to manufacture a mass market EV like the Windows PC. The Aptera has much more in common with Apple’s iMac, it is superior car technology. Apple’s smart car patents combined with the Aptera could be truly revolutionary.
The Aptera founders lost control of the company the first time and then project was killed. This time around I think they will be very carefully about giving up control. They have shown themselves very open to true partnerships, so perhaps? They would have a lot to offer Apple.
Did he just mention at ruclips.net/video/zx3dHwxalr4/видео.html that Aptera's genesis was by way of "Intelligent Design"? I KNEW these folks were gods!!! :D
@@rngalston True, but when a certain amount of force is applied to the windshield it will shatter. Maybe, my question was not properly worded and should have said, the windshield is tested to withstand what level of force before it shatters or breaks?
unfortunately Nathan didn't clearly address the question on 1:02:00 "Did NHTSA approve cameras instead of mirrors?" because this will be a critical issue when actual delivery is made. I would hate to see that Aptera has to comply with NHTSA rules and stick on ugly air dragging side mirrors. It'll look and perform drastically different from the current beautiful design.
Unbelievable how unprepared these guys were from the "Denver Electric Vehicle Association". They were completely unfamiliar with the subject of the discussion. They look like they're over-the-hill has-beens just happy to be associated with some organization they can hang their hats on, but haven't done any homework on the subject for years. C'mon guys! Wake up! Electric vehicles are not new, but you obviously haven't kept up with the times. OMG! The uninformed questions these old farts are asking make it clear they haven't even LOOKED at a picture of the vehicle, no less read up on all the info that's already out there.
Multiple research studies have shown that lights on in daylight reduces accidents. Giving how little energy is used by LED lights, cost/benefit analysis will probably say "lights on" even when ignoring human cost of accidents.
@@chuckehlschlaeger2272 Plus well made LED's can last a very long time even at continuous use, so it's not like you'll be constantly replacing them like the lights in lower end cars.
@@justinw1765 Plus turning LED lights on and off on and off on and off will reduce their useful life faster than if you simply keep them on. Having to replace them more often would be horridly tone-deaf and is bad for the environment. ;D
@@chuckehlschlaeger2272 i mean the lamp above Nathans's head in this video that doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever. Of course, the lights on a car serve a purpose, that i don't oppose at all.

Welcome to the group, Jeffery! The more the merrier.

@@fanfare100 Hey, thanks for the congrats. You get advance and sometimes exclusive access to having questions answered by Aptera people, and we get to spend volunteer time answering questions on social media and on lobbying efforts where needed.
I think it's because Aptera is more than a car; it's a mission.
I just have to say Nathan, you are just so intelligent, amazing and enjoyable to listen to. I just can’t comprehend how you can be so technically minded, yet so available, relatable and passionate. I have reserved a car in great part because of you. One can’t help but trust. I am very encouraged and grateful for myself of course, but also for the planet.
Aptera has several great team members but I agree, Nathan does great interviews.
@@apterareboot1555 I missed these great interviews until their posted on youtube, how can I catch the next one?
I plan to make the Aptera my Primary Vehicle, including for long-distance business travel, and then reserve the Mistubishi Mirage for when I need to tote around more passengers.
My Aptera will be my daily driver.
Thanks for gathering all that information together! This is as amazing as I thought it would be, Assuming it hits the moon, i believe it will be super safe. I ride a moped all day long and its super fun. I just ride around when I'm free.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The designer is one fast talker but you can tell he knows his stuff. Great job.
There were some VERY bright people in this. The questions were great.
Perhaps use bio-mimicry to design a 4 wheel drive, off road Aptera that can sense obstacles coming and extend its suspension to avoid them. Then get one of those young manics to drive it in a sporty fashion.

Thanks for sharing the webinar. Is the 0-60 capability and water floating information in the 2nd half? This was great to watch!
Yes, it is!
Same thing I wanted to know first. Here's the spot in part 2 for anyone else with the same question. ruclips.net/video/A7h-OmwBK68/видео.html
A summary or a highlight would be cool
Will do. Stay tuned!
WoW, you're filming from your facility in Calgary Alberta.... that's great.... send mine to Ontario when you get a minute... I can pick it up :o)
Nathan was working remotely I believe.
I’m waiting for delivery 🚚 before I turn 67
I worked with a Linda Gaffney and she too was a renewable energy enthusiast. What are the odds?? :D
Well I see that now that I’m 75 years old maybe I can get my Aptera sooner than one of the young people
Thanks for your support. Help spread the word. The more people learn about Aptera, the better they will be funded and the sooner the car will get into production.
@@apterareboot1555 If only they would open their next round of funding to the people already. :D
So excited!
You and me both!

Seems like a good opportunity for distributed manufacturing. Could sell assembly / dealership franchises.
Second Question: What is the Coolant in the "Skin" for the batteries? Can it be Checked, Topped up, Serviced, Could a Rock damage the lower body? if so, what is the repair Steps?
Loved hearing about Right to Repair and controller settings
Curious if they considered placing the rear view cameras on the front tires instead of little wings. Also would like to know what kind of curb it can hit. Driveways around here often are just a curb. While I don’t think the car will bottom out, the skirts on the wheels may not handle the shape. A crawl button to carefully climb on or off such a curb would be cool.
It was suggested in the webinar that they add proximity sensors to the wheel hubs. Sounded like Nathan really liked that idea.

Just wondering if something for low income/senior buyers would be possible after all the rich people get theirs?
Will AP be capable of optimally navigating to chargers, selectively, weighting driver prioritization (relative or specific) among Time, Speed, Distance, & Cost, preferences?
The UI is still being developed. I'll keep this question in mind next chance I get to speak with the team at Aptera.
I know it's aerodynamic but I wonder how it would behave in strong cross winds or the turbulence of a passing semi-truck since it's so light weight.
Is there also a four seater planned ?
Will there be an octovalve to effectively manage motor, battery, & cabin temps?
Octovalve is a Tesla specific part. Any tech sharing talks between Aptera and Tesla are presently under NDA. However, Aptera has significant IP around heat management in the Aptera, along with better insulation in the cabin and less waste heat to deal with than any Tesla.
As always, thanks Bruce.
Is it going to have a Heat Pump for ac heat?
And smart cruse control?
One is planned , but due to supply chain issues, the first vehicles will probably come with resistance heating.
@@davesweany8650 Yes, an OTA upgradable Safety Pilot is an available option.
@@n.brucenelson5920 For those living in tropical climates, could one save some dough by having them omit the heater and only include the AC? My car in Panama had no heat, only AC. Why pay for heat if you're never gonna use it? It would be a waste.

Only thing Aptera hasn't done yet is give it wings to fly.
The persons asking questions have not done any reseach (3 wheels less regs ) !
That was the purpose of the webinar. Most people know very little about Aptera.
Where is part 2 ???
Tomorrow (5/8) at 1pm EST
Here: ruclips.net/video/A7h-OmwBK68/видео.html
what is the force at which the windshield will shatter
Windshields shouldn't shatter, they usually have a plastic layer glued between two sheets of glass to keep them from doing just that.
@@rngalston True, but when a certain amount of force is applied to the windshield it will shatter. Maybe, my question was not properly worded and should have said, the windshield is tested to withstand what level of force before it shatters or breaks?
The windshield will be made from the same material as all automobile windshields. So it will be the same as for any car sold in the USA.
Once it accelerates to Warp 9
