I like your optimism but I think he was just the test run.

Is there a lemmy community comparable to /r/thatsthejoke ?

Pretty much what I expected/assumed.

He should have just kept doing The Apprentice, literally everyone would be happier and generally better off.

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.

They had these in a game I used to play, I wanna say Sim City 2000? It was called a microwave power plant and I think occasionally the beam coming to Earth would miss the power plant and start a fire, but my memory’s a bit fuzzy.

Trump has seen himself in the mirror with that splotchy bronzer on and he thinks he looks good. I mean… look at his mouth. WTF.

We’ve known this for a long time… Almost 4 years actually

I wonder how they store it

Well now I definitely don’t feel bad about torrenting Braveheart

Holy shit that’s a real thing

I miss my LG Alias 2

Why is it the uncle that’s the one who’s generally portrayed as being the crazy conspiracy theorist? I’m an uncle, I’m not that bad

I wish I was more disciplined/focused.
