Sure thing.

Aptera has attracted a lot of concern-trolls and ankle-biters in various forums... I prefer to wait and see what happens... but you do you.

The original owners of Aptera were kind of forced out when the company existed in the past. They bought the rights back and started up...

I ordered my Aptera in July 2022. It will replace my i3 when I get it.

You may have missed part of my point... it's the low coefficient of drag of the Aptera vehicle itself that makes a small solar yield a...

It might even be more involved than that. The 12 V safety battery terminal might have fired during a collision which I believe would...
