Aptera (SEV) completes first Solar EV build off its validation assembly line

Aptera Motors completed the first example of its flagship solar EV on its validation assembly line in Southern California.

I like the idea of Aptera, the styling, the technology and engineering. Would I own one? No. Additionally, one of the biggest douchebags I know is an official ambassador for them. That’s an immediate red flag.

Meanwhile, some are trying to close the loophole that allows such three-wheeled creations: https://www.autoblog.com/news/new-congress-bill-could-change-three-wheelers-legal-definition

Well that sucks. I do think they require a bit more safety than currently allowed but to kill off a vehicle segment is ridiculous. Create a new segment specific to three wheel and be done

Oh whatever. I’m so sick of these dealers. They need to go away.

That is what I thought too. Or, the Little Engine That Got Angry.

I can't remember where I mentioned it, but if this must happen I think International truck dealers would make some sense. They are nationwide and operate differently from your typical car dealer. I am not saying I hope for this situation to occur.

I’m sure SM anticipate this and has had a plan in place since the beginning. I’m not worried.

I can’t wait until we see messaging like this with our Scouts.

Agreed. The complaints listed seem a little vague to me. And why aren’t they crying about not selling any other VW group nameplate?

LET ME PLAY WITH THE CONFIGURATOR

Agreed. The anti matter blue on the broncos was a little too dark so there is a fine line where the blue turns black-especially in low lighting

My first car was midnight blue and it was like you said, in direct sun it was a beautiful color but early mornings, evenings, cloudy days and of course night, it looked black.

Ha. Aren't they a little late. Scout is already getting licenses in states. Nothing can stop an American Bad Ass.

Visualizer. We get the visualizer end of the year Jamie said in a post the other day. The configurator is what we will get with pricing etc. I didn’t realize there was a difference until he pointed it out the other day.

But yes bring on the VISUALIZER!!

Exactly. Why is expectation they get it and not Audi or Skoda (new U.S. model???)
