Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe issued this blunt assessment after a visit to a Shanghai auto supplier factory operated by a major Chinese parts manufacturer.
I know there were multiple kickstarter type funding schemes for Aptera, but it’s not like the influence a couple billionaires exert. The main problem with Aptera though is all the other vehicles on the road. We need legislation to start shrinking trucks and SUVs and stop killing us all so easily before smaller lighter cars can happen. Maybe someday.
That’s why the Slate is the only EV I am even remotely interested in at this point. I hope it actually comes out and doesn’t suck.
It looks like it is. Slate has been doing lots of irl photo ops recently
so has Aptera… stans have been true believing since 2009, and now a bill is going to make them illegal.
Isn’t Bezos behind Slate though?
