The first one is the unveil at the factory to brand ambassadors one day before fullcharged live with good audio. The second is the unveil at the Fully Charged Live. The last 2 are factory tour unveil part 1 and factory tour part 2 which is more uncut and and it has more footage and goes really in depth with Chris Anthony but it has terrible audio. I'd go with the last two. The audio is terrible but the nitty gritty info is what i think this forum would want.

I'm 4:20 in. They never subtitle stuff unless you could hear it anyway.

Sandy Munro says 'Model T -- you don't have to say Ford; Beetle -- you don't have to say VW; Mini -- you don't have to say BMW.' BMW? Not British Motor Corporation? Then he forgets what century we're in.

Maybe it gets better. I wish Aptera well.

I like the center console with the grid of bungees. More than just a cup holder.

Everything on the center console is modular - you can remove it and swap it with another accessory to fill it up how you want to. A lot of people are badmouthing the bungee cupholder thing and talking about aftermarket solutions.

How the cooling system works with skin cooling and auxiliary radiator for low speed. HVAC system can actually air-condition the battery.

Also the wheel pant design to minimize drag and allow for different driving environments

Measurements of stuff - It's 85 inches wide not 88. Also the trunk is HUGE.

It's starting to feel so much more real. I can't believe it's happening and I'm so happy.

It's in the news now so I can point out that it's a bumpy road to mass production.

It sounds like 10 solar panels a day is a gating factor for scaling up production.
