Aptera coastdown test: 2 miles from 60 mph (video)

The car took over 3 minutes and 2 miles to coast in neutral from 60 mph.

But it was funny to read a little mistake on their website describing the test:

Light weight helps with overall efficiency, but it would have coasted farther if it were heavier. :D

2 miles from 60mph/100kph - new EcoModder goal!

A coasting competition would have a lot of dangerously overloaded cars entered! Or would anybody even enter such a contest? :)

Available soon, right? :D

Hmmm grapevine North of LA you can easily coast maybe 10 miles down hill plus another 1 or 2 down
on the flats. The issue wouldbe not going 200 mph on the bottom. Guessing the rules preclude that?

Afaik Apteras are available now, kinda, sorta.

I once coasted for the top of Siskyou Pass to the first Ashland exit. I don't know the distance but using a caliper on screen with Apple Maps it looks to be maybe 12.5 miles.

Six miles at 6%.

So how far do most cars here coastdown?

I'll try to remember to check my Insight after I replace a wheel bearing and get my summer tires on.

When I was 15, driving the family back to Oregon, doing 85 down the Grapevine, I got passed like I was standing still by a semi. I also missed the "exit" to stay on I-5 and ended up in San Francisco. Parents didn't notice until they woke up in the morning light and asked where we were.

Driving home from Bonneville Salt Flats, I got lost in the middle of the night and ended up in California. That's when I overnighted at the summit of Donner Pass and coasted down into Ashland.
