Why does Kyle matter so much?

Investors like myself in Aptera know that our money may just go away. That's the whole nature of investing. I'm invested because I believe in the vision of having an ultra efficient vehicle on the road to show the direction we should be moving in for our personal vehicles. Let's stop making bigger vehicles and showing more batteries into them and having them just look like the ICE vehicles that they're replacing. Anyone excited about the concept and are looking forward to it should a least want people t know about it, because it help get it exposure and in doing so, helps get it to market.

Building vehicles are hard. Go figure.

They should have multiple vehicles ready for test drives within the next couple of months. It may be somewhat longer before they let reviewers drive the vehicle. They would want to have more than one or two drivable spares, and have insurance on them. But eventually they are planning to let customers test drive the vehicles. We can just wait and see. If the criteria for "real" is that you can drive it, then that should happen this year.

Aptera is a great idea. Too many compromises being made in the attempt to get a production ready vehicle. I can understand why OOSR don't want to do a review at present, especially now the EV market is in dire straits.

The other channels that cover Aptera make it clear that Aptera isn't in production yet. They could do a video of it and really trash it. Maybe they fear the wrath of Aptera supporters, I don't know. I, personally, don't care if OoS covers it or not. I've watched several of their videos and I think they're kinda boring. They remind me of reviews of cars from the 70s in magazines.

The way I see it, their channel their content. Theres other channels that cover the exposure/information you're looking for. It does not have to be just one particular channel.

Aptera has been around, in one form or another, since 2006. If they worked as hard at getting the autocycle produced and on the road, as they do, raising funds. The motorcycle/autocycle would have been on the market 10 years ago. I agree with not reviewing an autocycle that can not be purchased by the public.

Scout has two companies involved with many billions of dollars. Porsche is part of VW Group with tens of billions of dollars. Fisker had a billion dollars. Vinfast has burned billions of dollars already. Aptera has double digit millions of dollars. Now Tesla started with that kind of money, but sixteen years after their production started everyone else who tried to launch with less than a billion, and most who had less than five billion, never made a car. When Faraday Future announced that they would be the next great car company, I publicly posted that they didn’t have enough capital, and their founder was a multi billionaire at the time. Show Kyle the money and I bet he is not as convinced it is vaporware. But with the amounts they have, maybe they make twenty cars and then go under, best case.

I've never seen OOS review a motorcycle...which is what the Aptera technically is.

It's because Aptera is a ponzi scheme. They do an awesome job of convincing people such as yourself that it's real and for people to invest million, only for them to come out and say they need more money. The Aptera would have been cool in 2020, maybe 2021. They have missed their shot and it's likely because most of their claims are BS and they can't back them up. There is zero need for a massive production plant to build something that won't sell well. They should have started low production models in 2020/2021 and gotten cars on the road, but they didn't and just keep asking for more money and push delivery dates back again.

People have been able to drive it.

I am sure he would do a video, if Aptera would actually have production ready prototype, which they DONT HAVE

Kyle seems to have taken the stance that the car is not yet delivered and hence for the moment it's vaporware. He has a reputation for his channel being facts based so that is a completely reasonable stance. However, Aptera seems to have taken all steps to make sure they are using their resources efficiently and moving so that they don't run of funding. They secured manufacturers, they are gearing for smaller expenses and a small production to get profitable earlier. They didn't jump the gun like Fisker and Canoo did, they didn't waste funds in flashy marketing and overpaid leadership, they have a solid chance. I am also hopeful for Aptera. Will reserve one as soon as they're in the clear. I'm in Atlantic Canada here so they wouldn't serve me for a few years (I can't even get a Rivian here yet). Scout is a joint venture with large companies involved and it's very likely to come to market. Fisker did come to market. Prototype porches are likely to come to market. I think Kyle has been burned by Fisker's failure and wants to keep his data solid

I only want them to cover the Aptera as long as they do their research. If they do they will find that the Aptera is all good and production is around the corner. They need to go right now to Carlsbad and drive the production ready Pi's, take a tour of the assembly line, talk to Chris and get the real facts. Things like: - 40 miles per day from solar - 1000 mile range - F1 safety - Carbon Fiber - Efficiency - Solar - Italian Supercar performance - Production starts this year - Cut and Paste assembly plants - Cheapest EV you can buy in the US - Safe as a car - Aerodynamic - Massive amount of cargo space - Never rusts - Generational vehicle (your great great grandkids will be driving yours) - Right to repair - Just scan a QR code and everything you need is right there - Super simple to work on - Sandy Monroe - 12 minutes to build - Most successful crowdfunding ever So, I gave those guys over on that channel a heads up by posting here and now they will be at Aptera soon, thus give a glowing report of the product and company. I thank you for being a mover and shaker in the world of YT. Plus, when will you be at Aptera and give your report? Aptera needs you now.

They won’t let me drive it. Once they let me drive it I’ll review it. Keep up the videos! I’m super excited to buy one once it’s real

In Kyle's defense, he did do a very short clip from a far, as he walk by the Aptera booth telling us he is not doing a review until it is out at CES 2025.

Good call YELLOW JOURNALISM is way too popular!!!

Kyle considers the company vaporware. He has been offered/invited multiple times to test drive the gamma and even the PI build at CES. I would rather him keep his distance as the consumer faith in EV startups is shaken due to several EV startups that have failed up until this point. I would rather wait for Aptera to get it right than have another cyber truck incident that becomes difficult to recover from.

Aptera does not deserve the attention of established channels if Aptera refuses to meet their requirements. Aptera has PAID some larger channels to do a paid product placement but Out of Spec does is not offering that. There are many channels Aptera can pay to have reviews and commentary favorable to them. So your whining is ridiculous. Plus you are just repeating unverified claims Aptera has made and they have actually partially walked back some of their numbers. Their CEO already admitted that though it has 700w of cells they cannot all be in use at once because of position. The vast majority will not even consider a two wheel vehicle let alone a three vehicle. Finally no one is going to trade their safety for what amounts to less than a dollar a day in gains over a traditional EV. You do realize their vehicle being used for test rides cannot be driven by anyone but an Aptera employee because it does not even have power brakes, yeah just like Gamma its basically manual brakes and more. It is that much of thrown together demonstration vehicle. Beyond that obvious safety issue it certainly is not safe enough to let anyone drive and anyone riding in it is risking their health because a wreck will not be pleasant in a vehicle with no airbags or the safety expected out of a full enclosed cabin.

Kyle is full of himself. That's just the way he is.

yes let kyle do a real review about the state of Aptera company they will be crushed

Sorry man. This wasn’t a terrorist attack. It’s a sad veteran statistic.

I dont think i've seen anyone suggest that particular cybertruk caught on fire due to the battery pack and not the huge haul of explosive materials in the back that were set off as part of a terror incident...so i'd say your reporting is a tad pointless.

0:10 I understand, for this is the only time today that I can view this video.

I'm always intrigued when I get video recommendations from up and coming TH-camrs. Good video by the way. My only critique would be the way that you pronounce Hyundai. I know that whenever we Anglicize a word, we often leave out subtle inflections, and the name Hyundai is no exception. A slowed down way of pronouncing Hyundai would look roughly like Hee-yun-dae. In reality, the Hee-yun part is squished together into a single syllable with a very short 'e' sound. 👍

Yep... that "Kia" adapter is going to end up in some random rental car someday. How do I know? Because the Kia EV6 I rented from Hertz had a AC charger for a Polestar in the back of it :)

Wow Cool

I drive manual transmission and whenever possible I either use engine breaking or shifting into neutral to decelerate. I think its very funny haha learn to deal with my vehicle slowing down without a light telling you 👿

Great car. I used to live in Marquette, side note lol. Anyways, I found your video just randomly searching, since I just bought a 2019 Lacrosse Essence, and love it. Your video showed me stuff I didn't know about, to include that its a hybrid. The used car dealer didn't know about it, and neither did I lol. I've started to pay attention to that system to see how it works and how it can benefit with greater gas mileage. Also unlocking the truck by pushing the emblem. I do like how the rear of the car looks, it seems clean and uncluttered. Also the wireless phone charger, which I can't really use, since my I-Phone with the case can't fit in there. Its simply the best Sport/Luxury car I've had in a long time. When I lived in the UP, I had an 84 Cougar which I loved, but the extreme weather up there killed it. I hope your car is good in the snow. My car lives in FL, where its just too damn hot most of the time lol. My car is White, a color I didnt really want, but most cars are white here which helps with temperature control and dirtiness.

Hello, what type of transmission?

I agree 100% for queuing, towing, convenience, etc.... for god's sake, just copy the gas station style and put EV chargers on it. Why do they have to reinvent the wheel. That's why for charging, I might just prioritize the Pilot/Flying J/GM Energy sites once they get fully built out. ...because that's exactly what they did. They're the only company I know that is doing that, and I don't understand why others aren't.

صحيح في اليسار يكون أسرع للوصول ولكن لو كان في جانب الأيمن لن تكون نهاية العالم يمكن الوصول لها في اقل من دقيقه 🤷🏻 الا اذا اذا كنت في سباق 😂 لكن لو كانت في اليمين حتى تكون هناك شاحن جنب الطريق سيكون من المنطقي وضعها في اليمين في النهاية شخصا لا يهمنى إذا كانت في اليمين او اليسار لكن المهم أن تكون خلف السيارة وليس في المكان الخطأ في مقدمه السيارة ❌

من الجيد ان الشركات الأمريكية سوف تصنع السيارات بمدخل شحن مثل سيارات تسلا ولهذا مدخل شحن تسلا سيكون هو المعيار في امريكا اما العالم كله سوف يستعمل CCS2 الا الصين لديها مدخل شحن خاص بها 😂 ممكن مع الوقت سوف تلحق بباقي العالم وتستعمل CCS2 لكن كنت اتمنى ان يكون المعيار العالمي هو مدخل شحن تسلا لانه أصغر وأسهل لاستخدام

It seems you don’t know anything about this vehicle …poor report

Relax! They're using Alpitronics

Just came across your video. I have almost the exact duplicate, color, options and all . Except I believe mine has a handling package option as it's great on curvy roads , very little roll, tight steering. And it has the 11 speaker Bose sound system. I love mine too. Loved your tutorial. Thx. 😎

Beautiful car.

19:37 GM’s cost-cutting with lacking auto-up rear windows is stupid given that all of the windows in my 2014 Mercedes-Benz C300 automatically go up and down via pushing buttons.

Just bought a 99' manual ranger xlt, love the thing. My first manual and its perfect for hauling firewood, tools and gear.

It takes more energy to produce hydrogen then what you get out of burning hydrogen.

Worst car I ever owned

Good luck get use to seeing service stabitak

Parking on the left side of the street pointing against traffic is illegal in Canada. Pretty sure it's the same in the States. Charge ports should be on the drivers side to emulate a Tesla so it's easier to charge at a Tesla Supercharger.

Kia will be selling a vehicle with NACS in October.

Lovely shape suv but what a pain trying to charge it , imagine doing this in gusty freezing conditions or heavy gusty rain or both 😢😢😢

YESSSIR

'cause they want us to use fossil fuels

Very interesting video but one topic you didn't cover was the environmental issue. Which is the reason that we are even talking about electric cars.

Salute Sir
