Behind every efficient mile is a lot of careful work on the build floor. Here’s a peek.

Aptera vehicles are going to SEMA! Every November, the automotive world’s best builds take over Las Vegas, and this year we’re one of them. Come see the Aptera vehicle at the STEK booth (West Hall, Booth #52237) Nov 3–6, or spot us on the streets of Vegas.
The vehicle continues to perform incredibly well across our testing suite. Pictured here is a small sample of the traction tests we’ve been running.
A leaner path to production. ☀️ We now estimate approximately $25M to reach start of production, down from $40–45M previously, primarily reflecting the anticipated benefits of our partnership with Launch Design. Learn more → https://aptera.us/reduces-capital-requirements-for-production/
Three wheels. 🛞 Using three wheels lets us taper the body into a true airfoil, cut weight, and reduce rolling resistance. Every choice points to one goal: using as little energy as possible to get you where you're going.
Fun fact: people ask us all the time if this thing can fly. ✈️ Even though we can't fly, the vehicle is built with the same obsession over aerodynamics that goes into aircraft design, all in the name of efficiency. One of our co-CEOs actually holds a pilot's license. Any guesses which one? 👀
Pack up, hit the road, and let the sun do the rest. With onboard solar, Aptera is the only vehicle designed to leave camp with more charge than it arrived with, just by sitting in the sun. So you can spend less time worrying about your charge and more time enjoying the adventure. ☀️
Aptera solar has been independently validated by TÜV Rheinland, a global leader in solar testing. Watch the video → youtu.be/3uzuW-YvBE0 They measured more than 4 kWh each day of testing. Parked and untouched: 4.2 kWh. Turned once at solar noon: 4.4 kWh. Hatch raised toward the sun: 4.75 kWh.
Launch Design is now a partner and strategic investor in Aptera, and they're how we cross the gap between a vehicle that works and a vehicle that can be built ten thousand times over. Now they're joining forces with Aptera to aid our path to high-volume production. → youtu.be/cj74QyhK0Rk
Aptera's design isn't just for looks; it's engineered for maximum efficiency, wherever the road takes you.
Join us in welcoming Wellington "Duke" Reiter to Aptera's Board of Directors! With decades leading at ASU, MIT, and SAIC, and founder of Ten Across, Duke brings deep expertise in sustainability and urban development as we drive solar mobility toward production. ☀️ → ir.aptera.us/news-release...
