    Incredible work. To form panels over 2 axis while remaining durable and with a process that can be scaled for manufacturing is a major milestone. You guys are leading the way for viable solar charging, and I hope this will inspire other automakers to offer solar options in their EV's.

    By creating such an efficient EV design, Aptera is making solar-assist power relevant -- and that's "free" energy! While battery packs are getting more expensive due to increasingly high demand for raw materials, Aptera's approach makes even more sense -- smaller battery packs required to yield good range and a more affordable EV.

If they choose Cosmetic PPF, which is a thicker polyurethane film, that material is thicker, more durable, and self-healing, with a 10-year liffespan. The wrap is a point of concern for a lot of people, but there are wiser materials to choose. I am sure Aptera will get it right.

    I'm currently 6,944 on the order list, and I couldn't be more excited. I've been following Aptera since their initial start back in 2005 and was very disappointed with it's dissolution in 2011. As soon as I saw Aptera start back up again in 2019, I was once again intrigued. To see the technological hurdles and advances Aptera has made encouraged me not only to order one of the vehicles, but I am excited to be able to actively invest in their stock.

    Great video! More videos like this every other week would be awesome. That would only be a handful of videos until Delta is revealed. One thing I noticed that seemed to be missing is the hatch solar panel. At 2:42 I did not see it in the layout nor on the rooftop shot.
    Living in WNY, it would be great if while the vehicle was preheating in the dead of winter that a reverse current could be applied to the panels to melt the snow and glow at the same time. A slow pulse like it was alive would be cool.
    Look forward to your next video.

    Amazing news, and such a big milestone. Seeing all of those tests/early prototype roof panels on the roof of your facility is so cool. And generally, so great to see details about your iterative design processes. The R&D looks robust! Can't wait to get mine! I think I'm #18,200 or on the list. Will I get a pair of those sunglasses too?? 😁

    So "in production", but the technician says the panels are close to the design goals. Which is it, you are producing the ones going on vehicles, or they are not yet ready?

    • @peterjorgensen3
      @peterjorgensen3 2 роки тому +2

      I'm guessing they asked for 750W and got 700W so they said "That is close enough" so they're warming up the production line. They might either build ahead or (more likely) see if they can improve it slowly while the rest of the facility gets up and running.

      Aptera is a Kaizen, or continuous improvement company. They will never say "good enough" or wait for model years to phase in improvements. This is not an either or situation on any of the Aptera engineering.

    Aptera is pretty cool, very excited for their stuff. Let's hope EVs become affordable like 5-15k with those specs.
    Because the Cybertruck was my last hope for a overpowered spec'd out ride that wasn't 100k but now it's probably gonna be over 100k ;-;
    Might as well stick to something smaller

    I'm hoping you actually do hit your solar charging goals, and that you're able to handle large scale manufacturing of not only the panels, but also the vehicles.
