I support them but this might not be the best time to go through with it, but I guess the sooner the better.

This is not as surprising to me as him picking a Fox News host to be the secretary of defense.

TIL freevee existed.

Pretty much what I expected/assumed.

Aptera claims to be able to get 40 miles a day via solar. Most people drive less than that per day.

You should actually watch their videos and do some research before spewing your speculations. Seems like it’s going to be pretty safe to me.

Their tech isn’t just the solar, they’ve optimized the car solely for efficiency. They claim their car can get 10 mi/kwh, so with 700W of solar panels they can get up to 40 miles of charge per day with just the solar. By contrast, the solar panels that are available on the new Prius get 4 miles of charge per day.

Now that their production-intent vehicles are just starting to be built up, I’m eagerly awaiting their actual test data that hopefully verifies their claims on efficiency, range, crash safety, etc. but we’ll see 🤞 I really hope they succeed.

Lots of people here criticizing Aptera who clearly haven’t researched the company or the tech.

We’ve known this for a long time… Almost 4 years actually

Holy shit that’s a real thing

Is… Is the 17 year old kid the one in the middle with the huge beard? I mean, I had a beard when I was 17 but damn that is a grown ass man

Please don’t insult the rats, they’re good little critters

Way too much latency for that but I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to do it

Well according to Elon FSD is going to be ready “next year” for the last 8 years or so. I wish he would swallow his pride, admit he was wrong, and start using lidar and other types of sensors.

The robot taxi and the bus thing both depend on FSD working well, so maybe they’ll be ready in like 20 or 30 years.

Is the Patagonia guy a billionaire? He seems like a good dude.

I see Yoda in the 2nd pic

More for me then

I’m detecting your sarcasm but it’s better to just go with ‘/s’ unless you want the downvotes.

If that many people in your circle suck then, I hate to break it to you, you might be the one who sucks. Let them enjoy the music they like. I might not like the music you like but I won’t judge you for liking it.
