Roxy! 🥹❤

The friction is from the regen.😂

I think the wheel pants sitting on the table behind the glass are the alpha noir wheel pants you can see noir w/o them sitting behind everything to the upper left.

Hey Ho! Only the drivers' seat slides

Very nice… not at all ever so slightly jealous… maybe Aptera will make some more non-numbered models at some point… maybe they will be available with purchase of the bigger vehicle???

So beautiful! I love these videos. Relaxing and awe-inspiring every time. And that last photo is just epic.

Thanks Raj! Coming together ! I hope the flip up front pants made it as well as the Air In port on the skirt.. All details we can’t see yet “on the PIs” Go Sandy / Aptera !

Thanks 😊

THE POWER OF THE SUN IN THE PALM OF MY HANDS

The wheel mounting looks terrible.

Raj, Thanks for sharing. A beauty ! Does it smell like a new vehicle ? 😉 I wonder if there are ~ 189(?) solar cells representing the 700W array ! Is there the rose gold aluminum center console. I supposed they wanted to make it more generic as the Codex color on the seat belt is not detailed(?) It would have been to ok vulnerable to have added the Bunk cover and Flip up pants, Air In port on skirt.Maybe you got “ regen” 😉 Amazing what they have incorporated ! ENJOY!

Nice color, fluid motion, and music to meditate to.

Glad you got one Raj.

Nice model Raj, thanks for showing so much detail!

Cool model.

Nice. Congratulations. It looks Beautful🎉

Thanks Raj for the update - it helps since I don't have an X account.

Looking at the Aptera video and timestamps: - 0:44 - Switch panel to the right of the screen, plus a key. Looks like 4 switches. - 0.44 - Crossbar behind the two seats.Upper left side of the screen. - 1:38 - You can see the switch panel again and the sheetmetal panel to hold it, - 1:38 - There is a yellow and red connector next to the switches. A few other things: - Interior, I see all of their talk about the body yet nothing of the interior - Rear and front suspension. Lots of parts are missing. I guess they are waiting for them to show up. - Employees, do they only do these videos not showing employees actually working on them? - Is Aptera going to get this just rolling but have no interior and not even 50% complete just to show it can run under it's own power to generate excitement?

I'm glad Sandy is intimately involved. He's a tremendous resource.

As I understand Aptera now...I am ok with a variant that has no solar panels, a 1000 miles battery range. If smaller battery like 200 or 300 mile range may be my first mod will be to find a hybrid drive size of the electric drive.

Great, informative observations. Also if ANYONE at Aptera is listening, the render @4:41 is how the side windows should be built… narrow window split creating MINIMAL visual obstruction.

I agree, it's really good to see finished production details like light modules coming into place. P.I.-2 is looking sharp!

PI gets close to driving since over a year. And it keeps close to driving. Year over year over year...

Who are the two individuals that Sandy is shaking hands with?

Did some practice drone footage with following a car in the mountains. Actually turned out pretty good, watch in 4K. Was following around 25 - 30 mph. Just letting the drone follow automatically. One day I'll take #aptera there for similar footage :D DJI Air 2s shot with D-Log & tweaked color after.

remember to only do this if you live in the US. in the US theyll pay you $1,- per gb. th rest of the world its $0.1,- per gb. i noticed it after i installed it and needless to say i uninstalled directly.

Great, I might order

The base of these domes by Geoship is smaller than it would be if the base was the diameter of a circle. If you look closely, the domes bulge a few feet above ground level. It would have been more aesthetically pleasing if it was a true half circle, the way Pacific Domes built their domes. Also, it would have been more spacious.

far freaking out

The fact that it's wider than our modern, hideously oversized pickup trucks does give me pause... I want vehicles to start getting smaller again. I get that it's still thinner than a semi and most US roads can accommodate them well enough, so the Aptera should be OK... but still. I like my little hatchback I currently have and somehow this two-seater is longer and wider. Still shorter than most full-size sedans at least, but length is usually not the biggest problem.

LOVE to give it a go!

Thanks for sharing your Waymo experience Raj, it's very interesting, to say the least. Lots of variables to be figured out on the fly!

Thanks for sharing… Nice to learn… What are the luggage possibles inside or trunk, loading and unloading, etc? ? Not in my bucket list… Glad you enjoyed it ! We have sensitivities to many odors/ aromas…. My biggest frequent rental car disappointments have been 1) Strong cleaner odor and/or air fresheners 2) Residual odor from a past rider that is smoker or someone with heavy cologne/ perfume. I supposed, some less likely, but possible in this “ride experience” too😞

I was in SF a month ago and we took a short trip in one of these. I was impressed when it went into the oncoming lane to go around 2 delivery trucks that were double parked. I'd give the ride an A.

Great video! I've been following this company for a while as well and it is exciting to see the website turn the corner and start to feature actual models and pricing. Looking forward to 2025!

Thanks. I'm going to put in a reservation anyway. I even have the perfect spot, right beside my Aptera's parking spot... (#142)

Do you have a reservation promo code, Raj? Thier website shows the option.

My only issue with a permanent magnet motor is this will impact the ability to coast. There will be inductive braking going on, even if it is small. Short of having some type of clutch that detaches the motor from the wheel you will not be able to bring the inductive braking to zero. But other than coasting, it is more efficient.
