I don't think we know the ratio of the PI builds yet etc., but I could possibly settle for a "squircle" like the cybertruck.. I adjusted quickly to the yoke in X/S Plaid though so it's still my first choice for visibility+looks+comfort.. it really only gets a tad annoying at low speed in parking lots but I also adjusted quickly to that. I do get it though for doing track racing or something, maybe you'd want a top bar.

Happy to do a tiny part, thanks for the epic day you hosted for the community and congrats on the EVA award!

Your scam is coming to an end. If your one prop actually worked you'd showcase it actually driving on a real road in real conditions but you can't because it doesn't. Your scam can only do circles in a parking lot in short cuts. I dare you to show it perform uncut in the real world, like up a hill or on a long trip. Ponzi scam

There are actually various videos out there showing it on real roads, and I think they will be taking up your dare with the PI builds this year. Thanks for watching!

@@johnbauby6612 Both my wife and I have had long rides in a prototype on public roads. You clearly don't know what a Ponzi scam even is. You should be ashamed of yourself.

@n.brucenelson5920 you're a part of this ponzi scheme N Bruce. Why don't you tell everyone that you're a paid shill for Aptera? You're paid to rope new people into this SCAM , there's your ponzi definition conman. Your job is to rope new people in and as damage control on all the bogus Aptera scam channels where you attack anyone who presents logic and points out the scam in the comments. Your pathetic attempts at silencing the truth are hilarious! Aptera is a total SCAM. Keep lying conman

We saw and heard a lot of things to be excited about beyond this tiny tidbit today, and a lot of that will be coming to RUclipsrs near you soon. Alas that is not a test in the mountains but it should be an interesting year for sure!

My wife and I had 2 long rides in an alpha back in November of 2021. The prototypes are already capable of much more than what you can show to a large group of people giving rides. Don't discourage these clips or opportunities! Remember that you are experiencing a prototype that most manufacturers would never let you see - or if you did you would be bound by NDAs. Aptera has been more open than anyone I can think of ever - and I have worked with many automotive manufactures around the world in the US, Europe, and Asia.

The ball is in Apteras court to show that they can function according to those claims. So far, they have not. Now we wait.

@@billsmith5960 Many of the claims have been shown on video and in person - even on prototypes. Soon we will be seeing the Production Intent vehicles going through validation, including by third parties. Remember Tesla uses the excuse that "it doesn't have to" to excuse the fact that the Tesla Cybertruck has not been crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or by any federal regulator. A spokesperson for the NHTSA said it doesn't plan to test the Cybertruck next year for its five-star safety ratings program.

@@n.brucenelson5920 - Here we go again, "soon." Now we need to keep waiting. Seems to be the business plan of Aptera. I never mentioned Tesla. On the other hand, Tesla makes product and has for many years. Aptera has made nothing. So you can't compare them. You know better as it's another whataboutism. Please be more mature in your responses. You know that Aptera needs to start making a product then it can be compared to what is already out on the market.

I love the yoke and visibility it offers, and got lots of seated time with it checking the feel (not driving, acknowledged), but also I loved the yoke on the Plaids after driving with it, so...I hope they don't change it.

@@milsonian Thank you for your opinion.

Cool your jets, brother. I was at this event and in the back of my mind I was hoping to get a test drive in a PI build. The reality is a PI build may be as much as three months away. It will be coming and it will be awesome, just not "very shortly".

@barnabasseadog7660 you can relax, I was just expressing my interest. I'm fully aware things take time. I'm from Australia and I'm guessing I won't see mine till at least 2026.

Reasonable concern..just sharing my experience, there were many people watching out for others and the safety of the area in general. No one was coming or going, they were all there taking it in! Also, he's not a kid, and probably has the most miles of experience on that vehicle of anyone on Earth.

That kid has more experience than anyone else driving that car in that parking lot. I even let him drive my Arcimoto around the lot after he was done with the crowd. He's a pro, were in the peanut gallery.

Note: combative/quippy replies will be deleted from my channel (as I just did, and will own). I love the discourse but keep it civil y'all!

Unless you were there you should not comment negatively. I watched several “hot laps” and took a ride myself. If he was unsafe I would not have hesitated to give the CHILL! command as I have done with Lyft or friends. It’s safety first in my world.

Kids should not be running through parking lots. Darwinism solves this problem automatically.

It is also more inherently stable as a tadpole. That said that coverage of the Reliant Robin should have required full disclosure. This is the kind of dirty tricks that the industry can pull.

@@ccibinel I had a Suzuki Samurai when Consumer Reports did that hack job in the 1980's after it outsold Jeep in it's first year in North America. That Arcimoto in the background is mine, so I already know how viable the space between two wheel and four wheel vehicles can really be. Aptera is entering the market at a pivotal time.

I'm pretty sure the Aptera can charge while driving, but the catch is, if you're going more than 40 miles per day, it will discharge faster than it charges. In fact, it probably discharges any time it is moving, solar power or not. If the question is whether the solar power reduces the energy used while driving, I'm pretty sure it does, by a fairly small amount.

Your phone/laptop can be both on and charging, right?

I am thinking that either way you get the charging just not the way a person might think.

It should charge greater as the batterys continue to drain

@@aussieideasman8498 I have never claimed to be an engineer. However, I have done some significant high profile engineering projects, including a samples freezer for the ISS (under contract to the University of Alabama- if you could do research you could look it up.) Precision of fit in body parts *certainly* contributes to the lack of creaks and aerodyamic noise due to poorly fitting body parts. Are you sure you should be commenting on things you apparently know nothing about?

"Body shell parts don't contribute to smoothness in the ride." Ma'am, chassis stiffness tuning has been the primary contributor to ride feel for the last 30 years.@@aussieideasman8498

Not almost it does

Why tf you are here

Go whine to your boyfriend.

The entire point is to look different, was never meant to win a beauty pageant. EVERY damn car and truck looks exactly the same nowadays. Nothing is innovative at all. I'll take one of these in black for a new daily. It'll pull the car and bikes to the tracks very nicely.

Most beautiful vehicle!!

Go whine to your boyfriend.

And has taken advantage of government subsidies.

Parking it in a garage at night won't affect the solar performance, or negate the solar energy collected from driving. Every bit of that energy is energy you don't have to draw from the grid and pay for.

Nah, you’re thinking of North Dakota’s Tesla Club.

Have you ever see a star running on the red carpet ? 🙂

there are kids running around

Maybe it's on auto drive with hundreds of ppl near by mode
