What happened to the Aptera 2e? I hear nothing new about it, no videos nothing in the news and I have yet to see one on the road. They were reported to be market ready and to be on sale by now from the videos I watched on you tube. Where did they go?? Did the government, Detroit, or Big Oil do something to them?
The problem with All electric Green Cars is the price! They start at 27k to 31k. My Corolla cost 6k. Now if Gas cost $4-gal, in one year (at 12,000-miles per year) that would be $1,464. So it would take over 14 years i.e; 14 x $1,464 = $20,496,
(Plus the 6k I paid for my corolla). For a total of = $26,496. So an Electric car will TAKE 14 + Years (minis the cost of charging it) to match a Gas car like Corolla. KEEP YOUR GAS Guzzling COROLLA!
@danjorgen who knows, and if then mainly because it's slender and not because of the 3 wheels, but nevertheless it's still safer then motorbikes and those are driven by quite a few as well..
@Raffix394 Nope, it's not safer than a motorcycle. On motocycle drivers body is part of the system to give stability.
ANyway, if you like you can find necessary calculations on the net and check it for yourself. If you did let me know the result. Based on my experience I guess it's not stable at that speed.

aerodynamic efficiency is the key, search for the "aero civic" 100mpg car. also, check out "UBC electric car company" 300 mile range electric beetle, with a 4speed trans.
I know this car looks ugly but you'd think all these freemen would be buying these up (the way they explain we should buy things), yet I haven't seen one of these on the road yet.
They got lots of investors include google who pay millions of dollars to get it on the road and one sheih from Iran who is paying even more so it will always be on youtube, on the covers of the magazines, on TV shows but never end up on the road:)
Car looks great. Can just barely understand the girl who sounds as though she doesn't use consonants, just talks too fast with her mouth constantly open.
Diamondguyrt, you are a superficial simpleton. Your beauty is brainwashed by corporate media. If you were a engineer, you would appreciate its efficient design. Live your life like a sheep Diamondguyrt.
Anyway, I'm all for the Aptera. Efficiency is what we need to focus on. Sure there are a couple of small drawbacks with it, but considering how much money you'll save on fuel and maintenance, it's well worth it!
its price tag is a total rip off concidering you just get a shell and an electric motor taken from a industrial drill or something i mean who would want to buy it off you other then someone with an obsession with electric hairdryers ,its well over priced if you ask me ,is like paying for gold but getting plastic in return , no thanks
Its a green car and an excellent commuter car for Southern Ca. cities like San Diego. I certainly wouldn't own one if I lived in Montana or Wyoming. I believe the price range is between 20k and 40k, there are plenty of people in places like Carlsbad, Del Mar, La Jolla etc that will buy it out of the gate. I predict it will be successful regionally.
well considering that it emites no harmfull fumes, you just have to plug it into your garage outlet, comes with internet bluetooth access on the screen module, free google maps gps, has a solar roof that will control the internal temperature when parked, is just as safe as any other car, and has awesome butterfly doors? and its all standard, i disagree.
guad SUSCRIBE HELL NO, your an over advertising twat of a company, the simpsons wouldnt be susseful if 70 per cent of the programme involved seeling merchindice and y should web casting be any differnt
It will never make it to market. The sole goal is to soak investors: that's my bet. I have seen this kind of shit before. My built in bullshit detector just pegged it needle & blew the glass out.
True, people make billions in the gas industry or whatever you wanna call it, why wouldnt these companies pay solar electric car companies to have major delays in the release of this kind of automobile.
The layering method is alot like plywood - use thin layers with grain in multiple directions to get something stronger than the original.
Unfortunately, I'm not well versed on the physics for random-fibre or ply-layering carbon fibre; I only took an introductory material engineering course in first year; I'm more into the geological side of engineering.
(I'm sorry for all the comments, but the character count limit is very limiting)
Oh, one assumption I forgot to mention: that they're using carbon fibre with unidirectional fibres. This is how you get the strongest carbon fibre, but it only works in one direction. It's possible to make it with randomized fibre directions (kinda like pouring glue on your carpet, though that's not a good idea). Thus, all directions have some of the force on the glue and some on the fibres. There's also a method of layering fibres such that they run in different directions in each layer
I don't mean to say that composites are weaker than steel (far from it, I like composites), just that they're fairly unpredictable when you can't track forces easily. As such, they're VERY good for standalone machines (planes, for instance), but crash analysis is pretty difficult at the best of times (and computer models are based on using steel and fairly standard, making it even more awkward. I just would like to see some crash test data.
The reason for this is that the fibres are very strong, but bend easily. A good way to visualize this is with a lock of hair. Pull the strands apart as hard as you want, they won't snap. Put a bit of force in sideways, and they bend easily.
Since carbon fibre is carbon fibres in glue, there is some rigidity, but not as much as the fibres, or even steel, can provide.
sorry but this scares me!!! "in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until..." more "in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck
well, consider the german smart. it is a very safe little car with airbags and crumple zone altough you wouldnt think of that immediatly. im sure its possible to design the aptera in a similar manner. i m defnitley gonna get one.
"The Aptera 2 Series vehicle (electric and hybrid) will range in price from $25,000-$40,000 depending on options and powertrain."
Unfortunately, a bunch of places are listing this as a a motorcycle rather than a car, which I think means an automatic increase in insurance costs and, in some places, a different driving license (which is silly, this thing is driven like a car)
So you might not be saving ALL of the money you'd spend on gas, just most of it.
So why not use a clean diesel engine that can recharge the battery much more efficiently... Use the same efficient diesel engine as the VW TDI... that engine gets 58 mpg's I bet it can even do better in the aptera.
This car looks flat out amazing. I normally am not into cars and just hate the ugly flat dull look of electrics BUT this...is...SP-Fantastic. This is fantastic looking car. I cannot wait to see the H2
-Finite, Under growing demand, Polluting, Mostly foreign owned, Imported over long distances, Imported from unstable countries, Devastating in the event of a spill, Our reason for invading Iraq, One of the reasons we threaten Iran, Inflamed problems in Sudan, Burnt inefficiently in cars, Volatile & unpredictable, Expensive, Unsustainable.
..and somehow this dodgy product supports almost every aspect of our existence!
It's already a hot lookin vehicle but if any of you entrepeneurial R&D guys get the idea of manufacturing mods for this thing, well... alot of hybrid Apteras are going to be created.
Yeah, they actually say on the main reviews that the initial release is the electric, but they'll be releasing a gas and hybrid version later.
My main concern with this is crash performance. There's not much of a buffer between you and the rest of the traffic, and those front wheel pods could very easily come flying off and kill a random padestrian...other than that issue it is indeed a beaut
The Aptera has a crumple zone and air bags. One of the problems with America is, that we want a perfectly safe life at any expense including our freedom. Just allow someone to save out planet without messing with them. If GM could do any better they would have, Volt my ass. Go make your nanny state over seas.
Hey, I'm not bashing it, it just looks a bit fragile. I know they have a crumple zone and air bags, but it still looks like would shatter like glass if you bumped it with another car.
I like the car, it's just potentially unwise to drive it with crappy drivers around (but then, one could say that of any vehicle).
Still working on the logic leap you made from mentioning the safety precautions to the "American nanny-state" concept, or mainstream manufacturers pathetic attempts at such things.
A bit of information about design with composites - since they're composites (made of 2 or more things) they have variable properties. The big one is carbon fibre (which is what is usually quoted as multi-times the strength of steel), so I'll discuss this:
Carbon Fibre has 2 components, very strong fibres, held together by not so strong glue.
If a force is applied in the direction of the fibres, the fibres take the load, otherwise the glue takes the load. Thus strength varies by where force is
Yea, and they won't legislate new laws for these cars once the market is established.. moron
They should tax break 70% of the cost of these cars like they did vehicles over 6000lbs, maybe then you're tax argument will make some sort of sense... huge vehicles have caused more havoc on the tax system then tax breaks on making choices available to people.... freedom? the freedom of choice? only happens once choice is made available, let's see gas or gas?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Some states ARE creating laws to tax by the mile. I say "Great!" to you fucks. When taxes are made, people will do what they can to get around them. Register your car in another state, drive less, tamper with equipment, etc.
The cost of enforcing the taxes would be high.
You have absolutely NO FUCKING CLUE. You are just some cocksucking fucking moron. A 22 year old snot-nosed liberal sack of shit. Where you live, punk? California? New York?
lol I never said I would buy it, I never will. I just think people should have a right to choose. Why be limited to one powertrain when so many others are possible. Ever heard of progress? freedom?
You obviously have your dick dipped in oil and have no care for the quality of life of those around you and your successors, inheritors, your children.
Stop putting your dick in your own ass. Wake up, we are talking about tax-breaks. I live in the 21st century get with it, and you are 12 yrs old?
unions are bullshit a thing of the past, when human rights were non-existant, they have no place in a developed society anymore, there is no need to unionize
General, you don't like electric cars because they are a "liberal thing". It has nothing to do with how safe / practical they are, nor does it have anything to do with taxes. We will never see any progress in this world if you let your identity crisis make decisions for you.
As I said before, the only reason to dislike CURRENT electric cars is their cost. Being against them SIMPLY because you are a conservative is weak.
By the way I was rooting for either Hilary or Ron Paul, not Obama.
you may speak the truth but sleep well knowing that you alienate everyone with your profanity and vulgarity, resulting in no one listening to you and so therefore... you lose the argument. sorry.
I to get this clear: I AM NOT AGAINST ELECTRIC CARS THAT ARE PRACTICAL.
There is absolutely nothing practical to this car... it is a showpiece for leftist douchebags and environazis. That's it.
The Tesla roadster is 1000X more practical than this overated piece of crap. And I'd still rather have a Z06 over that car too....
This car is fucking stupid. But hey, like I said...lefty environazis can take their chances with this car encountering an SUV at an intersection. I'd like that.
Oh yes we sent tons of gass guslers to the gas chambers-wait that would counter what were trying to do. It would be cheaper to let you NATURALLY die off.
that are practical? the zo6 has a compsit hood it's lighter weight to lift however this is stronger so that it can come thought the windshield easier on a head on hit. i'd rather be in aptera than vette. back to practical This car is tall ,it can be seen. few high milage cars today are. tom ogles galaxie got 111 mpg in 1980 it was slow like diesel but it did seat six
Like I said, It's probably fine for short runs on flatland, in a warm climate. But it just won't work in hilly areas, or in the cold. I wish it would, it would be great not having to breathe car exhaust.
This is the new American auto industry, and I can't wait. All the naysayers have not really researched this car, or what people's actually driving habits are. This is THE PERFECT CAR for your day to day commute. VERY cheap to drive, VERY safe, and quite affordable when you consider the gas you won't be buying.

@robertquentincobb
the New toyota corolla start at $16,000 - $19,000.
Don't forget production gets cheaper with time, this is gonna be the first type of car that is build like that.
Also the mileage per year depends where you live( its about 12-17k, in Canada its 18k).
gas is around $5/gallon here, the NEW corolla has 30mpg.
so 18000m/ 30mpg * $5 = $3000.
$27000-$16000=$11000.
$11000/$3000=3.6 years.
So it would only take 3.6 years to get your money back.
spetznas101 8 months ago
@spetznas101
Also thats on a Corolla, one of the most fuel efficient cars out right now(in the top 15).
average mpg in the US/Canada is 21mpg.
MATH:
18000miles/21mpg x$5= $4285 per year
$27000/$4285=6.3 years.
within 6.3 years you would have saved enough money that you basically got the car for free.
Thats not accounting for the fact that Gas powered motors are much heavier and more complex then Electric Car motors, which will reduce repair costs.

The layering method is alot like plywood - use thin layers with grain in multiple directions to get something stronger than the original.
Unfortunately, I'm not well versed on the physics for random-fibre or ply-layering carbon fibre; I only took an introductory material engineering course in first year; I'm more into the geological side of engineering.
(I'm sorry for all the comments, but the character count limit is very limiting)
rashkavar 2 years ago
Oh, one assumption I forgot to mention: that they're using carbon fibre with unidirectional fibres. This is how you get the strongest carbon fibre, but it only works in one direction. It's possible to make it with randomized fibre directions (kinda like pouring glue on your carpet, though that's not a good idea). Thus, all directions have some of the force on the glue and some on the fibres. There's also a method of layering fibres such that they run in different directions in each layer

Continuing response to sergioakaskyler again:
I don't mean to say that composites are weaker than steel (far from it, I like composites), just that they're fairly unpredictable when you can't track forces easily. As such, they're VERY good for standalone machines (planes, for instance), but crash analysis is pretty difficult at the best of times (and computer models are based on using steel and fairly standard, making it even more awkward. I just would like to see some crash test data.

Continuing response to sergioakaskyler:
The reason for this is that the fibres are very strong, but bend easily. A good way to visualize this is with a lock of hair. Pull the strands apart as hard as you want, they won't snap. Put a bit of force in sideways, and they bend easily.
Since carbon fibre is carbon fibres in glue, there is some rigidity, but not as much as the fibres, or even steel, can provide.

From the Aptera webpage FAQs:
"The Aptera 2 Series vehicle (electric and hybrid) will range in price from $25,000-$40,000 depending on options and powertrain."
Unfortunately, a bunch of places are listing this as a a motorcycle rather than a car, which I think means an automatic increase in insurance costs and, in some places, a different driving license (which is silly, this thing is driven like a car)
So you might not be saving ALL of the money you'd spend on gas, just most of it.
rashkavar 2 years ago
So why not use a clean diesel engine that can recharge the battery much more efficiently... Use the same efficient diesel engine as the VW TDI... that engine gets 58 mpg's I bet it can even do better in the aptera.

It's already a hot lookin vehicle but if any of you entrepeneurial R&D guys get the idea of manufacturing mods for this thing, well... alot of hybrid Apteras are going to be created.
Kr4ftw3rk 2 years ago
Yeah, they actually say on the main reviews that the initial release is the electric, but they'll be releasing a gas and hybrid version later.
My main concern with this is crash performance. There's not much of a buffer between you and the rest of the traffic, and those front wheel pods could very easily come flying off and kill a random padestrian...other than that issue it is indeed a beaut
rashkavar 2 years ago
The Aptera has a crumple zone and air bags. One of the problems with America is, that we want a perfectly safe life at any expense including our freedom. Just allow someone to save out planet without messing with them. If GM could do any better they would have, Volt my ass. Go make your nanny state over seas.
cigarpilot 2 years ago
Hey, I'm not bashing it, it just looks a bit fragile. I know they have a crumple zone and air bags, but it still looks like would shatter like glass if you bumped it with another car.
I like the car, it's just potentially unwise to drive it with crappy drivers around (but then, one could say that of any vehicle).
Still working on the logic leap you made from mentioning the safety precautions to the "American nanny-state" concept, or mainstream manufacturers pathetic attempts at such things.

you should visit their site. composites they use are stronger than steal.
sergioakaskyler 2 years ago
A bit of information about design with composites - since they're composites (made of 2 or more things) they have variable properties. The big one is carbon fibre (which is what is usually quoted as multi-times the strength of steel), so I'll discuss this:
Carbon Fibre has 2 components, very strong fibres, held together by not so strong glue.
If a force is applied in the direction of the fibres, the fibres take the load, otherwise the glue takes the load. Thus strength varies by where force is

Yea, and they won't legislate new laws for these cars once the market is established.. moron
They should tax break 70% of the cost of these cars like they did vehicles over 6000lbs, maybe then you're tax argument will make some sort of sense... huge vehicles have caused more havoc on the tax system then tax breaks on making choices available to people.... freedom? the freedom of choice? only happens once choice is made available, let's see gas or gas?

Some states ARE creating laws to tax by the mile. I say "Great!" to you fucks. When taxes are made, people will do what they can to get around them. Register your car in another state, drive less, tamper with equipment, etc.
The cost of enforcing the taxes would be high.
You have absolutely NO FUCKING CLUE. You are just some cocksucking fucking moron. A 22 year old snot-nosed liberal sack of shit. Where you live, punk? California? New York?

GeneralDevestation the election is over, you don't have to talk politics again for atleast another 3 years.
I agree that at this stage there is no reason to buy electric until the costs come down. Gimick, unless you just want to help advance the tech.
Your tax argument is invalid. All progress should be halted for taxes?
Your safety argument is also a lie. I would bet my life you don't badmouth motorcycles like that, which are a lot more dangerous then this thing.

General, you don't like electric cars because they are a "liberal thing". It has nothing to do with how safe / practical they are, nor does it have anything to do with taxes. We will never see any progress in this world if you let your identity crisis make decisions for you.
As I said before, the only reason to dislike CURRENT electric cars is their cost. Being against them SIMPLY because you are a conservative is weak.
By the way I was rooting for either Hilary or Ron Paul, not Obama.
