F150 Raptor for me. I already have it and like it too much to let it go, so I'm keeping both (once the CT arrives).

The thing I don't like about the Aptera design is the 3-track design. It makes if impossible to straddle objects on the road, including rough pothole sections of road.

Efficiency always matters: It reduces charging time and increases load and range.

Footprint is irrelevant in most of North America.

It totally matters in parking garages and city parking. Aptera is very wide.

It's not bigger than parking spaces. And the body itself is smaller than most cars... The wheels stick out like mirrors do. It doesn't occupy most of the footprint.

Thankfully, most roads are paved or graded, so it's irrelevant. And it's not impossible... the key is to make the tail wheel waggle into the line of one of the front wheels to dodge holes. I think I can do that to charge as fast as a Tesla but on even the worst urban DC charger.

We've had our Cybertruck for almost 4 months and it's been the go to vehicle for pretty much everything. We're ready to retire our other gas car (we rarely drive it) for a second EV, but we're not sure what.

I just want to hear what your ideal second vehicle is to the Cybertruck and why? Or maybe the CT is all you want/need?


Here's where I'm at:

Cybertruck 2: Return to Cybertron - We half-joked about getting a second Cybertruck because we love it so much, but it seems somewhat impractical since we both drive together most of the time. What are we gonna do, caravan in 2 Cybertrucks everywhere we go so we can both drive? :unsure: Also, not sure if 2 will even fit in our garage.

Model 3 - I traded my 2022 LR in when we got the CT, and it was such an awesome vehicle. Would buy again. Probably Highland Performance. I eyeball these every time they drive by.

Aptera - If we really wanted to lean into the unusual looking vehicles. But I'm 6'5" and not sure I'd fit. Looks sweet in black, insane range, solar panels.

Ioniq 5 - We rented one and it was a lot of fun to drive, and I love the look.

Rivian R3 - So cool. I'm not sure what 80s nostalgia buttons in my brain they're pressing, but they pressed them.

Fiat 500e - Beep beep, fits anywhere, nice small compliment to the big CT, but small size is a concern.

Lotus Eletre - Bit of a splurge, but LOVE the look, so it's on the list.
Love my CB and my gas Bronco. Wife also has a Y.
