@TailosiveEV @11json @ApteraOwnersClu @aptera_motors @naval @Jason A taller bunk wouldn't impact the path of the HV cable to the charging port, and extending it more towards the back (center and right at least) also wouldn't interfere with its path. But maybe that space is filled with a lot of other stuff? That0s why I'm asking.

When you own a space company but spent all day pretending to be good at video games.

Aptera is proud to partner with TELO Trucks, bringing our solar technology to their electric mini truck as we advance our mission to make every journey powered by the sun. → https://t.co/KkarXeLAhx

From the #Pininfarina Wind Tunnel in Turin to the world stage at @CES 2025: @aptera_motors' solar EV, inspired by Prof. Morelli's aerodynamic genius, is redefining efficiency and clean transportation. Proud to play a part in this revolution. #CES2025 #Aptera #CleanEnergy

Officials from both CA + Oregon have shared statements DENYING rumors that 60+ fire trucks from Oregon would have been turned away near Sacramento, because they didn't meet California's smog requirements.

How sick has one to be to start such rumours?

@otherotherguy @stevefambro I also would take delivery AND drive it through the neighbourhood WITH clicking. 😊

@jymetcalf @stevefambro As a part-time instrument builder I know that the source of ratteling noises is more often than not the most unexpected* and it can take months to find them! 😅

*) note the difference to "the least expected" (which still would be bad enough). 😱

Here are some #CES2025 Highlights:

We're excited for a great year of pushing the boundaries of solar mobility and sustainable innovation. ☀️

FAFO:

25% of Americans are avoiding Tesla because of "genious" Elon Musk.

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

It’s been a long time in the making, but we’re ready to see @aptera_motors hit the road!

@Happycake1000 @aptera_motors @LG_ensol It wouldn't surprise me if LG would jump in.
After all the jus signed Memorandum of Understanding says that LG would "exclusively supply 4.4GWh of its 2170 cylindrical battery cells to support Aptera’s production ramp-up from 2025 onward".
That's 100k battery packs of 44KWh each.

[Aptera @aptera_motors]

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with LG Energy Solution at #CES2025. @LG_ensol will supply battery cells for Aptera’s vehicle, with CTNS manufacturing battery modules tailored to our unique designs. Read the full press release → https://t.co/jybIhLROTp

Aptera’s production-intent vehicle has made its debut, stealing the spotlight at #CES2025! ☀️

Thanks to ETP, Ennegi, HSL, Cielle-Tronics, Maxeon, Danisi, Costamp, CPC Group, Eco-Tint, and many others—for helping bring this vision to life.

[Stevefambro @stevefambro]

So about 25 miles of test drives today and the state of charge remained the same- maybe be climbed like one percent! All from just being parked, and driving in the sun!!!
