Aptera Motors has shared another exciting progress update video, giving us our best look yet at its production-intent solar EV out in the real world. The SEV startup recently completed the PI build’s first-ever road trip, traveling over 300 miles using an all-electric battery and free energy from the Sun.
I ordered one of these in 2021. Delivery expected end of 2022. It was like November 2022 and they were still promising to deliver. End of 2022 we got another prototype. There was no explanation or acknowledgement.
Since then it’s been delayed another 4 times but also the entire design has been fundamentally changed, including the entire chassis and powertrain. There’s also been like 6 more prototypes. And the price has gone up like 30%. And now it’s still expected “next year”.
So yeah, as much as I want it to be true, I don’t think they’ll ever deliver this car. It’s an investment grift.
Man I wanted one back when it was first introduced in early to mid 2010s…
Same here lol, it’s been so long that I don’t think I can even take delivery of a 2 seater anymore due to family size changes
