Aptera, my favorite “car” company was at CES 2025 in Las Vegas and showed off their production intent vehicle.
The Aptera is a very aerodynamic 3-wheeled electric vehicle, with the top side covered by solar panels and the body made from carbon fiber, glas fiber and also some metal.
They also offered test rides in a track vehicle, which was also built from production intent parts, without “pretty” interior and without wheel pants but with measurement / data logging equipment instead.
They really got a step closer to production - after some years of development with alpha, beta and gamma prototype vehicles!
If you want to pre-order an Aptera (non-binding and refundable), use my link to get 30% off of the reservation fee: https://lz953.isrefer.com/go/preorder/B37WrmBH
I personally also pre-ordered one a while ago and can’t wait to drive around in it in southwest Germany. I ride a velomobile, so I am already used to people staring at me. 🤣🛸🚀
You can help them getting to production by investing in the company (buying their stock), see:
