Aptera's New Gamma Exterior Renders --Aptera Owner's Club
Uninformed speculaton, but the renders raise some questions [not addressed].
There is a hiccup introduced in the door cut line below the rear-view camera.
Where are the front and rear license plates?

It's technically an autocycle/motorcycle. So I'm guessing it isn't required by law to have front plates???

Switch the track to take out the Edison2 then bring it back around and take out aptera, then crash the trolley into other trolleys.

There would need to be room for one small plate on the rear, minimum.

It depends on the state.
Looks like about 15 to 17 states require front and rear plate on motorcycles.
Probably something they should have considered from early on.
Figured out what states have the most ridiculous requirements and try to make sure there's enough lights for the highest light requirement, room for stickers as I'm going to assume there's some state or county with a requirement for additional stickers that don't go on the plate, make room for the bigest stupidest license plates, ect.

Some states Depends on hp. Below some number NV doesn't require plates like vespas and some scooters.

But seriously, I recall seeing the old prototype having a license plate on the rear between the brake lights like. The front will probably have some sort of removable holder like all other cars.

So if you reduce the CdA down to equivalent to a one square foot plate and you add a round-cornered rectangle....
