I live in CA and I'm diabetic. If it gets to the point where I get denied medical insurance because I have a preexisting condition then I might have to bail.

I drink in the basement.

We don't have basements 'round these parts but I'll cheers to that.

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

I miss my LG Alias 2

I wish I was more disciplined/focused.

Please don't insult the rats, they're good little critters

My moderate skill at hacky sack has surely prevented many things that I've dropped from becoming damaged.
