    The DOE doesn’t have a habit of giving money to companies that don’t return investor calls for three months, are run by a guy who ran his previous two companies into the ground, and have a CFO who was charged by the SEC for cooking the books at Delphi.

    I would love to have T-Rex, I’ve wanted one for years, but they are pretty expensive too. I do actually care quite a bit about the impact my life has on the environment, so I would want a pure EV for daily driving. I also care quite a bit about high performance cars so I would also love to have something fast and fun to drive on the weekend.

    well if u want this thing but in a much better form, go buy a T-Rex. same concept only faster and better looking. not so environmentally friendly, but you wont care because people will stare at you with envy, and because your name says so.

    obviously. i wasn’t born yesterday. i dont think camry and fusion hybrids and priuses go for 80 grand, do they? all im saying is that this is butt ugly in my opinion and there are way better things to spend money on.

    The 2e is much better looking, though it would have been better looking if they didn’t make the back end so droopy.

    Not everyone can afford a $80,000+ or a $100,000+ car, the Aptera starts at around $25,000.

    @brightstarone not really. anyone who drives that crap will make a fool of themselves. theres better things to drive and save the environment at the same time. tesla roadster, fisker karma, hell even a ford fusion hybrid is a million times better than this thing. so eat me

    or tesla. and since its off the ground
    lets assume the bottom isnt one big sounding board . i cralled out of my freinds countach it was so niosey inside
    you couldnt heare the radio at any volume level i’d like a electric version
    and if i get tired ill shove in a 35hp disel

    I like it other than the fact that every time they showed the cockpit view it sounded like it was loud as Hell inside.

    Nice to see an American car, that I actually want to buy! Mustang? Camaro? Challager? Escalade? Such a waste of resources!

    yea really confusing eh? – at 90 honestly its really scary, but i’ve only done it twice on a nearby track, 90kph on city streets is nearly impossible, yea man i definetely wanna but i’m savin up for a descent camera first.

    Ah, I made a mistake there, this new youtube design confuses me, thought it was your videos :p
    Wow, 90 on the flats is insane! How does that feel?
    You need to upload a video of your modified WAW ;)

    on my channel is like mine, mine is silver
    2 seperate seats, 2 seperate people – cost me $2,000 to custom make and install the second seat – 45 is right, though my average is 50kph, saying 90kph is using all strength and sweat lasting 20 min – velos can have seat belts, shell from carbon fibre, velos have flags for visibility, can wear a helmet, velos are slower than cars – but at second though maybe ur right

    I looked at your channel, I know ;)
    1 seat front and back? You mean just one seat right?
    Oh, that expensive, well yeah the production numbers are a great downside.
    I have both read and heard from many sides that 45kph is about maximum you can do on a flat surface without using all your strength. Downhill is completely different matter =)
    It’s not arguable, it is safer.. seat belts, impact beams, higher seated position, airbags and it’s far more visible to other traffic. What’s the trunk volume?

    Dude, chill. That’s cool. I have 1 seat front and back.enough trunk space for me. I can only go up to 90kph (rarely), 100kph downhill max, heating (wear warm clothes), cooling (open window), 180 degree view front, rear view mirrors on both sides for rear visability like a car, safer? more or less, its arguable. to buy it was $10k CAN, now $18k CAN from investments. The reason why Velos cost so much is because of little production. If people buy more Velos price goes down.
