In another piece highlighting some comments Sandy Munro made in an extended Q&A session at TeslaCon Florida, this one includes a few videos about the EV transition, big legacy automakers he believes in and ones he doesn’t, and even short commentary on the large potential customer Sandy decided to turn down. In the first video […]

A couple weeks ago, we covered Aptera’s buried announcement that it will be using the Tesla/NACS plug for its vehicle. It was expected that the company would make this choice, but it was not highlighted. Days later the company announced in a blog post (as the main topic) that it would be using the Tesla […]

In some ways, this is hardly news at all. Since Aptera re-emerged in 2019-2020, all of the vehicle’s prototypes have had a Tesla plug that hides behind the autocycle’s small license plate. At the beginning, Aptera couldn’t tell us what its final choice of plug would be, but it seemed to be its preference. Fitting […]

Aptera is doing things very differently from other vehicle manufacturers. It doesn’t take a deep dive on the vehicle’s design and technology to know this, because Aptera’s vehicles are obviously very different. They look a lot more like an airplane than a car, and they’re covered in solar panels, which gives you a big clue […]

We live in an exciting time of our world. We are pushing technology to the limits, especially when it comes to technology within new electric vehicles. One of the most exciting upcoming electric vehicles for many of us is the Aptera, and I recently had a chance to checkout the Gamma prototype at Fully Charged […]

A recent video by Aptera tells us not only that its vehicle-mounted solar panels are in production, but gives us some clues about the journey to get to this point. It wasn’t easy, and certainly wasn’t just a matter of slapping some panels on the outside of the car. As pointed out in the beginning […]

As Aptera gets closer to production, I’ve been thinking a lot about where I’m going to take mine to push it to its limits. I think this is an important part of telling the story of the first 1,000-mile rated EV, and it gives us a preview of what’s going to be possible as battery […]

In Part 1, I explained the situation Aptera faces as it makes the case to the world that it’s ready for serious production. But, like last time, the biggest thing holding the vehicle back is that the car isn’t very normal. With two seats, three wheels, and a very unconventional shape, it’s got a lot […]

For those who don’t follow Aptera too closely, the company recently revealed its third and next-to-last vehicle design: Gamma. It shows not only improvements in the overall design as it relates to buyers, but also shows the work the company has done to make it easy to build and easy to repair. Here’s a short […]

In the past, we’ve had a lot of positive coverage of Aptera, and that’s something I hope to be able to continue. But, we must also cover the challenges the company faces. It has built several prototypes, secured a manufacturing space, and seems to now have both a solid design and a solid plan for […]
