If you’re driving on a two-lane ramp in the left lane and need to switch to the right lane, you have zero visibility! The right side rear view camera is completely covered.

The original design with side-view cameras on two screens, one on each side of the cockpit, was great. This current setup is beyond terrible.

The issue is not about the steering wheel type, it’s about the placement of the side view cameras display. The Aptera’s justification for the yoke is to provide a better view for the center display, but it doesn’t matter, the view will be obstructed anyway regardless of the steering wheel type.

The Alpha display locations were much better. I don’t know if it’s a cost saving issue, but it’s not worth it. When I invested in Aptera and made my reservation, my decision was based on the Alpha design.

Ioniq 6, Audi e-tron and other cars that have side view cameras (not for the US market) have the displays at the sides, same as the Alpha design.

I have a reservation for the Aptera, but I am not in the market for a new car until 2028-2029, so hopefully they will change this until then.

So you are on the 2 lane ramp approaching George Washington Bridge. You are at the right lane, there is slow traffic or a stopped vehicle in front of you and you would like to move to the left lane. Since you are turning all the way until you exit the ramp, you can’t straighten the wheel. The left screen will be completely or in the best case scenario partially covered by the steering wheel. Would you be confident in switching lanes?
