@ApteraAccessories You'd have loved seeing explosive forming of sheet metals which I was involved with back in the 60's and 70's until I got involved with electronics and other high tech which was taking off in MA at the time. Thanks again for your great job at educating the Aptera group about various die materials and how and why they are used. Not everyone was as lucky as us to see these things growing up. Keep up the great work!

@ApteraAccessories This was forming blank sheet metal into metal dies with vacuum between blank and die and with water as a transfer medium between explosive and blank. This gave tight tolerances.

Thank you Joe, we look forward to any and all Aptera accessories you produce!! Chris Anthony mentioned, in one of the CES videos, that the hood solar panel is the only one in glass. The others, while functional, have been laminated in plastics. I assume this is due to 'gorilla glass' not being available in the larger sizes and shapes until contracts have been established, but that is just my speculation at this point.

@@DemaGeek I think the glass has a superior appearance and finish, however they did have a full set of fully functional panels there and that I think was important. If I am correct the solar glass is also coming from Europe, it could have been late to arrive for them to make the glass panels in time for the show. Thank you for watching!

Thanks Joe Interesting info! Nice to chat in between your investigation and recording at CES Day two showed the growing crowds of supporters and newbies. I love talking to them and felling the new interest along with the long time supporters. I wonder if Aptera gained any free range from this energy 🙏. Re aftermarket items … Coming from a sunny state I will tint my doors windows be sure to learn of best care for this first vehicle that will some many hours under the sun . Care products too to protect my investment. As a reservation holder of the earliest vehicle I am all about OEM preservation but if I add or subtract the OEM build.. Those changes should be easy to return to original state. But folks should enjoy their ride I look forward to what you bring! All the best !

@@elertus It was great to chat, I heard that the media drive car did gain more mileage from the sun than the test rides. There was more people at the Aptera booth in one day then over the whole event that went to the Scout display, and you could not sit in the Scout. The best comment I over heard was “is that the new Tesla”. I think preservation is part of having an early car. I am not one that likes to drill holes into a car unless it is absolutely necessary, because of that accessories have to be approached differently. and I think it’s important to have the ability to return the car to stock if needed as easy as possible.

At 7:24 you are correct, that is a radiator. One of the Aptera engineers I spoke with here at CES yesterday confirmed it. There is another just like it on the passenger side of the vehicle and each are connected to new exhaust ports in the underbody panel. They are located to each side of the rear wheel skirt. There is also a new underbody air scoop located centrally ahead of the rear wheel skirt to supply air flow to these radiators via a wishbone shaped duct that wraps around the leading part of the rear wheel scoop along the underbody.

Accessories I would like to see: a small but very bright rear fog lamp, mounted low on the trailing edge of the rear wheel shroud. "backpack" style magazine/map/ misc stuff carriers which snap onto the seat backs just below shoulder level. A lightweight and compact as possible spare tire and jack set with a place to mount it in the interior somewhere. maybe behind the driver or passenger seat? front springs to allow a higher front payload than the current 300 lb. (maybe up to 500 lb.? ) a second wiper to clear the right side of the windshield, so I can see my 2 o'clock in really bad weather. (this is a long shot, I know)

@@robertkirchner7981 After seeing the car at CES I have some ideas for extra lighting that might fit the need of a rear high-vis fog light. I definitely see room for improvement on interior storage along the same ideas you have. I think the Aptera will have a jack kit and inflator as standard equipment, a spare might be more difficult you would need to mount it right behind the seats to the floor, but definitely something to look into. The payload might have more to do with weight balance because of the 3 wheeled configuration than the springs. I will have an upcoming video on that soon. Thank you for watching!

I seriously they will be using those dampers in production. Those are KW motorsport units and quite expensive as compared to a regular damper. Plus the rear has an external reservoir on it. Plus they are not designed for everyday use vehicles. I'm guessing that they are using them as they are just going to wing it when it comes to figuring out the damping and spring rates as opposed to just sticking it on a shaker rig and then that would literally accelerate the program by leaps and bounds. Hopefully the track version and at least one full version will have shock pots on it.

@@ApteraAccessories - I seen the data logging but for the suspension, it was missing. If it was, point out the shock pots and load cells for me. As for fine tuning, this is the first time with this suspension, so unless they are actually running a full production model on a test track (not a racetrack but a test track like other manufacturers use) then it's just winging it.

@billsmith5960 The shock pots were not on the car at CES, but are you suggesting that Aptera partner that is doing the suspension development does not know of this? The engineers know what is required, just because you don’t see it does not mean it’s not happening. When was the last time you have seen a car company shows this level of how their development evolved?

@@ApteraAccessories - I see this level of development quite often. The reason you do not is because other companies have no reason to show you, plus most would think it's boring. I doubt anyone would care to see all of the work and engineering put into a Corolla. This is because it's people just doing their job and Toyota does not need to crowdfund their next vehicle. As for Aptera it's required for them to do this or the crowdfunding does not work.
