Thank you for compiling all of this Peter. I had watched both the Jay Leno videos and it’s amazing how solid the 2e looks compared to the latest alpha- especially the wheel covers! Hopefully, the final vehicle will look more like the 2e.

I believe we know what the final vehicle will look like. Certainly mostly like the Alphas with engineering updates already identified. (Wheel skirts, power electric steering etc,)
I certainly want the recently engineered version with its Tech, range options, and performance.
Comparing the 2e to the current version is like comparing a horse and buggy to a Ferrari (Excuse the ICE reference)
-
Agreed, I was referring to the overall build quality of the earlier model. If they could build it then, they can build it even better now!

John, I was just hoping I’d find some snow testing pictures, video, anything for the 2e. But I haven’t been able to find anything.

Ha! I am a FL wimp! I don’t even think about snow. But you are right, it is a little concerning especially for a three wheeled vehicle that we don’t see those conditions represented. I know the motor vendor has done extensive cold, snowy climate testing. Aptera has committed to doing the same with a near production ready vehicle.
I will look forward to seeing their cold, snowy weather test results for the Betas. Coming up on the best time of the year for it.

Nice work, Peter! ????

Thanks for this, took me weeks to see footage of the 2e looking around, etc. Hopefully will have something like this for the new one cheers!

Just to be clear, this is not testing for the current version of Aptera and does not represent a formal testing approach or the safety testing that will produce safety testing dat submitted to the government for certification.
