    I want Aptera to succeed so bad even despite the outrageously idiotic design decisions like KNOCKING ON THE DOOR TO OPEN IT INSTEAD OF A MECHANICAL HANDLE

    Or having to use the touchscreen to roll the windows up or down

    Or the stupid fucking tesla charging connector (I’m still bitter about “NACS” becoming an actual thing)

    But even ignoring that stuff, I’m not optimistic about them.

      I’m glad there’s a standard. I’m even glad Tesla’s connector was made an open standards. I just wish it hadn’t been made the standard for North America.

        CCS was and remains a standard. There was no need to codify Tesla shit!

          CCS1 is a horrible connector standard. I’m glad a better replacement came out irrespective of its origin. The NACS (Tesla) connector is now an open ratified standard SAE J3400. Besides history, it has no dependency to Tesla anymore. Any company that wants to use J3400 can ignore Tesla entirely and still derive the benefit to its users.
