. Most importantly, the company revealed its factory, which is an important sign that the company is really headed to production. Aptera also revealed the next stage of vehicle prototypes, the Gamma, which is fairly close to production. One interesting tidbit is that Aptera is trying to use the Tesla charging connector instead of CCS, which would be another very Tesla-like move for the company.
The big challenge that the company says it just licked was preparing the floor to let these autonomous carts go anywhere.Charging is where the biggest news was. Aptera’s biggest concern is that charging infrastructure is really deficient in the United States and that isn’t going to change a lot in the near term. Aptera isn’t just thinking of charging stations, but also the grid itself and the way utilities think about power. Adding vehicles is going to be a challenge.
Given the big goal the company has , it’s important to note that Elaphe is still working on tweaking the final Aptera motor design for maximum efficiency. Wheel covers have been a big point of criticism for the company in its videos. They’re big, they give the vehicle a wide, wide stance, and they tend to be kind of loose and whompy in the air, wiggling and jiggling on the street. The company showed a video with the latest improved design, simulating different speeds and vibrational frequencies. It now won’t vibrate like it did until reaching over 200 miles per hour.
The interior has been redesigned, too. The controversial choice of wheel is also accompanied by a number of other changes. The center console will be modular, and you’ll be able to choose different things for different parts of the console. The interior design process used VR for testing, giving people the opportunity to see what it’s like before it’s built, which helps avoid space and other problems like was seen with the Alpha design.
