@@markmarco2880 - I follow Aptera and their news. You can too and then see that this channel is just AI and makes clickbait titles that are wrong. Then the videos are full of nothing but old outdated footage and news.
We already heard that in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. There does not even exist a roadwothy production prototype. Since 2009. Until Mid Dec 2024.
aptera will deliver zero vehicles in 2025, they might even go bankrupt but they might survive another year. They have zero real world data on their vehicles, the production intent vehicles have zero test results for aero/efficiency/solar range. Even though they tell investors certain figures they have never released any real world results, making for a very suspicious situation where they get investments based on inappropriate data for old mk1 version aptera from 15 years ago. Why are they supressing any new data? It appears they do not want to release any of the real world numbers for their vehicles as it will probably negatively effect investment from crowdfunding once the public know the real world data which has never been released.
The more I see about this vehicle the more ridiculous it looks. Rivian started up in 2009 and first sold vehicles in Sept 2019. Aptera started up in 2006... They say 40 miles range a day from the in-built solar panels - but it's got 400W of panel tops, not all pointing at the sun all day even if you park it in the middle of a field to avoid shadows. That's 10 straight hours uninterrupted sun, not going to happen. They assume 10 miles/kWh - maybe, we'll see. It's a motorbike with sidecar posing as car. It looks light and flimsy. So most users will have to plug in and charge frequently to make this more than a weekend runabout. Why not just have solar panels on your house oof and charge from those? Oh, and there will be actual BEV cars competing on price by the time they get this going, with 250+ mile ranges.
@@ziploc2000 the 10miles/kwh comes from a 350mpge value given for aptera vehicle version 1 (2008-2011) , they have never said exactly which vehicle it came from at that time. They have supressed any efficiency data since inception in 2019 version 2 started up. In fact they have never shown any data whatsoever on the vehicle. They also use cd of 0.13 from version 1 simulation based on playdo model then rendered.
@@namenotshown9277 So the 10 kW/h is dubious. The solar panels will give maybe 40-50 miles range from 10 hours of 100% unimpeded sunshine in the Summer, but that's almost impossible to achieve unless you park it in the middle of a cornfield in Kansas. If this ever gets to production it's going to be another Cybertruck, a niche vehicle that has its uber-fans, but doesn't cut it as a practical daily driver for the masses.
@@ziploc2000 it wont get 40 to 50 miles from sunlight, my estimage is somewhere around 10 miles if your lucky on a good sunny day, another way of looking at it, is it will take many weeks to charge up your battery......if your lucky. But there is no real world data forthcoming from aptera.
@@ziploc2000 OK, all these commentors seem to assume that purchasers NEED to get all their electricity from the panels. I think it's more true to say that people will be happy if the panels give them something like a quarter of their usage. This and the conceptual thrill of never really being stranded. If you run out of juice on the road, park it, and in six hours it can be driven away.
Which is it 500 or 5000?
I think it's acually 50 until they get full production going.
You changed the thumbnail to 500 but the title still says 5000, lol.
They produced a million cars a year ago, don't you know, silly ai, hallucinating all the time
I guess you still don’t keep up on the latest Aptera News.
Please enlighten us.

Yes there is! It will be shown the first full week in January 2025!
