Hold on, I hope that’s not accurate. First, I believe the conversation was in 2022. Secondly, the Aptera delta reveal I hope will eclipse this conversation.

I have watched a part of this interview on Aptera Owners Club KZread channel. So when I saw it again today, January 2 2023, I thought it was stale news given that Aptera Delta design was already out. Anyway I decided to take a look, sure I wasn't going to watch the whole 1 hour-11 minutes show. But guess what, I watched the whole show. I didn't know Chris Anthony was such a verse human being with so many diverse interests, from a computer geek to a vegan. From an holistic philosopher to quantum astrophysics. No wonder they built this unique vehicle which is more than a mere piece of technology. I now understand why Aptera is a philosophy with a lively soul, and that was why I was attracted to it from day one. Aptera is truly a Movement of the people. They will succeed where others have failed. Congrats Joe for this chat!

One of my buddies just ordered one of these cars. He's moving over from a Tesla Model 3. It'll be pretty cool seeing him driving it around our little town of 10,000. He will definitely stick among all the diesel farm trucks and full size SUV's we have all over town.

Joe, I've always enjoyed your videos, and I've been a supporter of Aptera since 2020. So it is so good to see you two get together and talk. I met Chris at the FC show and besides being VERY busy, he took the time to answer my questions fully. I had also seen snippets of this video elsewhere and figured that I'd watch some of it, but ended up enjoying the whole hour+, while your conversation went all over the place (happily). Chris Anthony and Steve Fambro have worked to create the exact vehicle that I want to own. The Aptera will be super efficient, with a very low operating cost, but it will also be lightweight, nimble, and fun to drive. 2 seats and 3 wheels is not the best driving solution for everyone, but it looks to be ideal for me. Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon with your interesting show..again.

It's very hard not to be completely impressed by Chris Anthony, he is all round grounded guy with his views energy foot print of foods for the masses, personal health, enthusiam for efficiency in every field it was refreshing to see him talk so openly here .

Building back the soil that has been destroyed by industrial farming techniques is an opportunity pull carbon out of the air.

Massive feather in your cap Joe, great interview with a fascinating guy.

It seems to me that data driven manufacturing creates the ability for a company like Aptera to copy and paste their process into multiple locations, thus enabling their stated philosophy of micro-factories as opposed to giga-factories. So while they may only be able to make 20,000 cars a year in one location, if you multiply that across 100 locations, that adds up to 2 million cars a year. There are more than 500 cities in the world which have a minimum of 1 million inhabitants, and almost 1000 cities which have over 500,000 inhabitants. If you include the areas around those cities which also contain potential Aptera buyers, there is a lot of potential for Aptera to sell their vehicles all over the world. Even if only 1% of the world's population lives within say 100 miles of a city that assembles Apteras, that's 80 million people who are potential buyers of the Aptera.

Wow, great interview .

At the beginning you're talking about how the entire car has the same drag coefficient as a mirror on an F-150. That's not surprising. Now, if the entire car had the same drag force as the mirror on an F-150, that would be very impressive. Maybe that's what you meant? But either way, a lot of people get caught up in drag coefficient and they forget that the word coefficient is in there. A huge car could have a very good drag coefficient, but that doesn't mean that it has less drag than a worse coefficient smaller car.

I couldn't stop watching/listening to you two. Great show.

Well, that went in a direction that one wouldn't have expected.

It was Joe who misunderstood or mis-spoke, not Chris. The Aptera has the same drag (force) as an F-150 side mirror. The math is straightforward. Front, cross-sectional area of about 8 square feet times Cd 0.13 = 1.04 effective square feet. Side mirror of an F-150 Xtra cab or with tow package is probably around 1.4 square feet times Cd if 0.95 = 1.33 or 30% more drag. I don't know if this applies to the base model F-150's mirrors though. Anecdotally, I've never seen a base model, post 2000 F-150. Around here, they're all optioned out and jacked up.

Best interview of all time

Thx Joe

Aptera's approach is the direction future EV design must go. Relative to rising battery material demand, high efficiency designs with solar-assist and smaller fast-charge battery packs will be required for an affordable EV that delivers good range and performance. Studies have shown that price is the main barrier to EV adoption. That's why an increasing pent-up demand is happening and the affordable Aptera will be right on time to supply that demand. I have reserved mine.

Don't smoke weed, it rots your brains and makes you stupid.

I guess if we go down teh rabbit hole of 'how do you manage' - once you stop worrying about your personal life, you can focus on post-scarcity: building out whatever everyone else needs. Who did you leave behind as you climbed to the top? Those're the first you give a hand to! It's not about what we can't do, but what we can. I mean I could ask how do you manage so many youtube channels. You can ask me how I can type so many youtube comments. It's just that once we're setup we're ready to go - we build and then when we see more we keep building until we're finished. Then we look over it and see our accomplishments saying wow - and that's when we feel everything for a few seconds.

38:25 He says there's a little bit of downforce on the Aptera, but I would love to see the actual CL (coefficient of lift) figure, as I haven't seen it anywhere yet. All the focus has been on CD. I'm actually surprised as usually, the less separated aerodynamic flow (and the Aptera will have the least of any production vehicle), the more the tendency for there to be lift. Glad that the lift is negative. Not that I think this will be used as a high-speed machine, but it's good to know that it should be quite stable at speed.

"I'm bleeding out of my ears..."... best line of the new year, so far.

I very much want this car. That said, I don't buy expensive things that don't exist yet, nor have a wide review. I would hate to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle whose tires mysteriously catch on fire in 0 degree weather or whose exterior melts under moonlight. I'm saving up now and I hope to put down money in a year or two or three (with expected delayed delivery). Hopefully the production model gets good reviews. As a side note, please don't become another Apple by telling customers what they want (and being totally wrong sometimes). You may need to make a whole different model that handles snow better but drops efficiency 10-20%, or offer a different color for some reason.

Interesting car, but on another note, come on guys ancient hunter gatherers did not eat once a day (when the hunt was successful). They ate many times a day whenever they found something to eat. And on the hunt they noshed - think pemican and bannock - they’re snacks not meals. So forget three square meals a day and try three light meals a day, preferably that you have put the time into preparing yourself. This intermittent fasting trend is just somebody trying to sell you something: a product, an ideology, or just a fantasy of primordial masculinity. Take it from a diabetic with no agenda.

I don’t understand why people don’t realise that the 1000 mile range car MUST have significantly less daily solar charge benefit than the 250 mile range model. 4* the batteries = 4* the weight= far less possibilities for solar to make a difference. My advice would be to buy a model that suits your usage. Low mileage frequently? Buy the 250 range version. Need to do lots of long haul, then do 1000 range. I suspect the vast majority will go the low end range or possibly a compromise next step up. But only the low end will get near 40 a day when the sun is shining all day.

Makes perfect sense to me if you drive to the office once a month, but work at home the rest of the time. An Aptera is not for you. Much better for it to be in the hands of someone who will put it to good use.

I think the Aptera is a great idea, assuming we're going to all be able to driver personal vehicles under zero carbon. That's unlikely. Chris, please engage an independent company to help you compute a detailed LCA for your car, now. This is how we must actually assess sustainability of vehicles. BTW, ebikes are ~4000 MPGe so an Aptera will never be the most efficient personal transportation. You're still trying to build a full sized car, because people don't yet see they will need to compromise much more to get to zero. I will concede that the Aptera gets closer to sustainable, and I recognize you are hopeful that these will be much more likely to stay on the road for decades than the overly complex EVs that are electrical failures waiting to happen. Please read Volvo's and Polestar's LCA reports. Everyone's busy comparing ICE to EVs and they're failing to recognize that no car will be viable under zero carbon. Anyone who says they will be, also takes it on faith that the failed strategy of Carbon Capture and Storage actually works. Electric trains & trolleys plus micromobility are the future of transportation. A 100 kWh Aptera is a really bad thing to call sustainable, because no one needs a 1000 mile range and carrying that massive battery on your light weight design is a serious efficiency penalty. It's not too late to unwind that goal.

I wonder if these people as well as elon build there now car factorys at old abandoned mines sites and fix the land as they pump out ev cars left and right. This should help them out because the government won't have problems with the building if theres no environmental damage going on you know just fixing old past environmental damage. If I had the money I would buy this car and a tesla so if I need to load stuff up I can have the bigger ev option 😂.

Not practical for my family. Their website says 25 cubic feet of storage, as if that's a selling point. Our Honda CRV has 39.3 cubic feet behind the second row and 76.5 cubic feet with the second row of seats folded. As much as I'd like to save the environment, I need to fit wood from Home Depot, plants and soil for gardening, 4-5 people, camping and sporting equipment, etc. Also, the cost. I know we'd save on gas and oil, but a lot of these EVs are way out of our price range. We pay about $10k for a 10 year old Honda and get 15-20 years out of them with very little maintenance or repair costs. We can't do a $30k to $40k+ car and then another $10k to $20k every ten years when the battery gives out.

25 cubic feet of storage in a two-passenger vehicle with Aptera's aerodynamics *is* a selling point. It's a vehicle for a single person or couple (or second vehicle for a family). It's not a family SUV nor is it marketed as one. If you manage to wear out a contemporary EV battery in ten years, you're driving too damn much to be pretending to care about wanting to "save the environment". The relatively small batteries used in the Aptera shouldn't cost anywhere near $10k to replace anyway. LMAO.

Even if you can't get as much solar recharge, you can still plug it in, and it takes a lot less energy to get from point A to B with how efficient the design is with the light weight and aerodynamics.

32:20 - Yeah, sorry, you lost me at "We had to explain to NASA engineers what ground effect was." I've had a preorder for an Aptera since day one, I've invested in them, but this interview makes me think this guy is a snake oil salesman. NASA's wind tunnel engineers wouldn't go "OMG! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY GET IT THIS AERODYNAMIC!‽‽" they've measured World Solar Challenge vehicles - which are even an order of magnitude more aerodynamic than the Aptera (but nowhere near "production vehicle" caliber.) Dude, your vehicle is good enough, you don't need to exaggerate your engineering process accomplishments by calling NASA engineers dumb.

I admit that 1000 mile batteries are possible but youre gonna sacrifice mpge and accelaration. Solar powered charging is possible but unless you live on the equator and never go above 20 mph you're still going to have to charge the car. 350 mpge? That's ridiculous even for this tiny thing. Maybe possible but not with the incredible acceleration. He also said that the motor wheels weren't likely to get damaged. That's hilarious. I want to be proven wrong but I think this guy is selling you all bridges and his car (if it ever comes out) will be no better than the average tiny EV.
