These two EVs represent precisely what I want in my future vehicles. The Aptera's tear shape design is exactly what I kept sketching on my book covers in Junior High and High School. That was about 55 years ago. My design differed in that the driver sat on the centerline of the car, and the two passengers sat behind the driver with their seats angled at 45 degrees behind the driver. This would allow them to enter via the same front doors that the driver uses. I was thinking that a motorcycle drivetrain would be used to cut cost and development time. Battery and power management development back was not what it is today, so I was not considering that back then. The team at Aptera really seems to be making good progress toward production. This will undoubtedly be the most efficient automobile ever produced. The Aptera hits my, I love efficiency button, while the TELO pickup hits my, I love space utilization button. This vehicle is less radical and therefore should be more accepted by the general public. It's, compact size should make it a hit the world over. It is the practical pickup that most people who aren't in the trades need! I want one of each!

I already have my own EV awards (BSEV Awards) and Aptera won with Telo being the first runner up. So, they already received awards ahead of 2025. So, please note that in the future.

I absolutely love both vehicles but being a startup is very difficult. If 1 of the 2 makes it 5 years I will be pleased given the anti-EV and government policies which are ahead. My ideal loadout is both vehicles for me and my wife. but I consider the odds of being able to do that perhaps 10%.

The real question is, will either vehicle actually be produced in 2025?

My guess is that Aptera may do it, but I don't think that TELO is anywhere close to it.

@jamespaul2587 Aptera will fail in ‘25 and Telo will ship in ‘26.

@bobhellman8676 Time will tell, but I hope Aptera succeeds and finally begins limited production in 2025

There's some weird editing in this video. You show the Aptera while talking about the Telo and then there's the cut of a truck drifting through snow... But yes, here's hoping to a great year for both companies. Although Telo is a bit away from production. Aptera is on the cusp.

How cool would it be if the TELO got the same $25k tax break as a $6k pound suv like the Land Rover gets.

Epitome is not pronounced epi-tome with a short e, short i, long o. It is e-pit-o-me. Long e, short i, long o, long e.

These are too cool, too functional, too nice of a product. Thats why they will never be built in any significant numbers.

Why do you go on and on about Telo and show nothing but pictures of Apteras or, at best, six seconds of the same telo footage over and over and over....

How is the Aptera 'smaller" ? Its the same width as many large trucks, its as long as a Tesla Model Y (yet only takes 2 passengers), and isnt one of the "most affordable on the market "since its not on the market.

Best Tesla sales are with the model 3 (not the Cybertruck) and the Aptera is not "smaller" and may not even be cheaper. You want efficiency ? Use a bike.
