They are closely related to the people who come down out of the mountains after the battle and bayonet the wounded. They helped kill the Elio and are doing their best to do the same thing to the Aptera. The CT is pretty safe.

[ I’m in Oregon. Logging is everywhere. They set up a logging operation on the side of a mountain serviced by forest roads. The only way they are going to be able to service the equipment up there with power is if they run a temporary power line up the mountain. Those things might have...

When I thought I was going to get an Elio I suggested that the company give owners a batch of small cards that had answers to common questions, a web address and phone #. My Elio never happened but I was not discouraged. I made the same suggestion to Aptera and Tesla. I like to shoot the bull...

A number of people on this forum have a reservation in for an Aptera as well as a CT. I intend to get both and use the Aptera as a dingy. When I camp I can leave the CT plugged in to an outlet and run errands and sightseen in the Aptera. It charges from the sun so a 10 or 20 mile trip to the...

You can get $30 bucks off your reservation deposit at the present time. I would put down a deposit right now if there was any chance you will end up buying an aptera. If you got in now it would still be a year or more before you got yours. I have a deposit on a CT and an Aptera. My aptera...

I already have the guns and ammo so I can shoot myself for free. 70+ mph on a unicycle? This is a joke, right?

I drive a Dodge diesel and I figured that changing to a CT would be like being able to buy diesel fuel for less than $.80 a gallon. I was excited! Then I looked at the Aptera and found that driving it would be like being able to fuel a 30MPG ICE for less than $.15 a gallon. Way less, because...

If the 120V outlet is available in the cab, as it should be, one of those heated throws or a twin size electric blanket would be just the ticket. You can buy them in the spring for $30 or so and they draw about 40 or 50 watts. During the entire traffic jam you could keep warm for a kilowatt or...

As the number of charging stations grows there will come a time when the number of fossil fuel stations starts to shrink. It looks as though there will be few ICE vehicles produced after 2035 or so and when people have a BEV and an ICE in their garage they will drive the BEV more. About the...

I have a Dodge diesel RWD with limited slip rear end. With weight in the bed I get around pretty well. Empty, not so much. It is my understanding that the single motor will send the power to the wheel with the most traction. If so you will be in good shape.

Seems like nobody is getting a Cybertruck without waiting 3+ years (or paying a premium for a used one). I am having some second thoughts about the CT. I will be 78 when mine becomes available. I am soon going to have to move into town so I won't need to haul firewood or trash. My 85 lb...

you also got the benefit of the magnet latching on to any stray metal filings in your oil. At least the ones that are attracted to a magnet

You guys seem to know all there is to know about electric motors. I have a question. I won't live long enough to wear out a motor on my Tesla but what do you think a rebuilt motor will cost? Assuming a core trade and without considering installation. (unless it can only be done at a...

It would be nice if Elon and the people who make the Yeti cooler could get together and either make the frunk to fit a Yeti model or make a Yeti to fit the frunk.

When you take your foot all the way off the "gas" and slow down faster than an ICE car do vehicles behind you get any warning? Like brake lights or something.

If the trimotor range is really 110 more miles than first announced there is no reason that the dual motor version could not have a 360 mile range

I am about #122,000 BUT I have a 2 motor W/O FSD. If I were to believe every favorable thing I read on this forum I will be ahead of all foreign orders and single motors. It does not look good for FSD in the short term so I guess I am ahead of them as well. I also will be ahead of some or all...

Building an off grid home adds another consideration to the issue. I live in a 3000 square foot home and heat with propane and wood (mostly wood). During the 8 months that I do not use A/C I average 14 KWH per day with the max being around 16. I could cut that in half if I had a smaller house...
