Aptera claims to be able to get 40 miles a day via solar. Most people drive less than that per day.
You should actually watch their videos and do some research before spewing your speculations. Seems like it’s going to be pretty safe to me.
Their tech isn’t just the solar, they’ve optimized the car solely for efficiency. They claim their car can get 10 mi/kwh, so with 700W of solar panels they can get up to 40 miles of charge per day with just the solar. By contrast, the solar panels that are available on the new Prius get 4 miles of charge per day.
Now that their production-intent vehicles are just starting to be built up, I’m eagerly awaiting their actual test data that hopefully verifies their claims on efficiency, range, crash safety, etc. but we’ll see 🤞 I really hope they succeed.
Lots of people here criticizing Aptera who clearly haven’t researched the company or the tech.
Holy shit that’s a real thing
Please don’t insult the rats, they’re good little critters
10/10 would handle that liquid
There was an outstanding RTS game from 1997 called Total Annihilation. The soundtrack was 11/10, it was made by Jeremy Soule, the guy who did the Skyrim soundtrack. Some might say that Supreme Commander 2 is their most recent successor to TA, but they are wrong. Check out Beyond All Reason (BAR). It’s in Alpha and it’s free but it’s already sooooo good.
Is the Patagonia guy a billionaire? He seems like a good dude.
Same down here in Redwood City. I saw on the news it’s supposed to hit like 111 down near Gilroy.

1 week old account with a meme post that got over 100 updoots. This is Lemmy, bro, you’re doing pretty good.
I see them a lot and am still shocked at how bad they look.
Well I’m an American with type 1 diabetes and I’m jealous. I’ve paid $600 for a box of 5 insulin pens before when I didn’t have insurance.
We don’t have basements 'round these parts but I’ll cheers to that.
