They tease, and tease....
VERY cool video of the Aptera Typ-1e electric vehicle in action. Plenty of detail you haven't seen in other vids or articles.
Each successive version of the prototype has been better looking than the
last - while giving up none of the car's outstanding aero efficiency. Way to go
Aptera for short-circuiting the typical design progression of "wow" to "mundane".
For those who haven't yet heard, the Aptera is an ultra-aerodynamic (claimed Cd of 0.11) 3-wheel vehicle being built in California. It will be sold initially as an all electric version with a 120 mile range, and a series hybrid extended range (via internal combustion generator) version is also planned.

Aptera only needs to sell 300 vehicles to make the company profitable. So far the company has over 580 orders for the $27,000 Typ-1 e and the $30,000 Typ-1 h. Pilot production is set to begin with 30 Typ-1 e vehicles next year
