Aptera completes low-speed drive in its first production-intent solar electric vehicle

Jump

  • Why would a new company increase traffic? Like people just have extra disposable income and love going out to drive when everyone else does?

    If your argument is, someone who would have bought the car would instead switch to using rail. Then there is no place in the US that has heavy traffic that can also have a new railway built for under $1b.

  • But the city already has highways. If we started fresh sure let’s do more rail.

    My point is just, what infrastructure can you do with say <$1b? It’s a lot of money but not building a whole new railroad kind of money. You can get a few station upgrade projects, a couple of electric trains, etc.

    There’s room for private funding of a new electric car company. Save the tax dollars for big infrastructure projects.

  • Why would you build the highway underground?

  • Really? So we can install thousands of miles of rail for under a billion dollars? Let’s do it!

  • Ok? The point is that rail development is expensive and like an order of magnitude the cost of Aptera. Ideally we could do both but they shouldn’t be put into the same bucket.

  • $24-48m per mile is still quite a lot. It’s just not the same scale in expense.

  • Is that true in California? Caltrain is costing $5.15 billion per mile.

  • Kind of a different scale. $5.15 billion per mile of track for Caltrain. Aptera hasn’t even broken a billion in funding.

  • Ultimately these small drones are still pretty vulnerable. I’d imagine the next/current generation of automatically targeting point defense weapons will be the solution.

    • What smartphone do your use? What's the best phone you had owned?

    Jump

  • iPhone 15 Pro and Pixel 6 for work. They’re both fine. Does phone things. Wish the battery life on the iPhone were better though.

    • What is favorite character that insists they are evil, but clearly aren't?

    Jump

  • Is he a veteran of the Emu War? Most soldiers are not considered evil for murdering the other side.

    • Recommendations on an iPhone 16 Pro case that is not usuriously overpriced for a 10 cent piece of plastic, but still might offer good quality, and a STRONG magnet on the back?

    Jump

  • They also have great customer support. I bought one of their cases for the iPhone 15 but it didn’t fit. They said it was a known issue and sent me a different case while they sorted it out. And they eventually sent me a working case.

    • The ability to be spontaneous in life is directly proportion to the size of your bank account

  • Murder. It’s how many kids you’ve murdered. Therefore you will be in prison and have negative spontaneity.

  • JD should definitely be higher than Strange on the Y axis. He cares way more for his patients.

    • Should you trust that doctor?

    Jump

  • So Dr. Strange is trained in neurosurgery, which is a 7 year residency compared to 3-4 years for internal medicine. He may have also done a neurosurgery fellowship for 2 years.

    • Should you trust that doctor?

    Jump

  • But that’s the Y axis. Training is on the X. As a neurosurgeon, he’s had at least 2 more years of training than JD, possibly a lot more.

    • Should you trust that doctor?

    Jump

  • But that should be the Y axis. In terms of formal training he has the most.
