To All:
I am not a Wikipedia format expert, but I would bet that some here would understand how to properly edit Wikipedia.
There is much incorrect and outdated information on the Wikipedia pages, both for Aptera Motors (which is horrible) and the Aptera 2e page (which is just incorrect throughout.)
You have to be willing to spend some time and be responsive to the critics (which, I must admit, keeps me off Wikipedia as an author.) Certainly some here on this forum could provide reasonable corrections. Be sure to look at the 'talk' page for guidance before changing anything other than the trivial, and for clues as to what the reviewers are looking for. If you post pix, be sure and get licensing info or releases.
And line up your sources (<caveat> this forum is not considered a valid source, even though erroneous articles are considered valid sources </caveat>.)
Be aware, there are ridiculous discussions in the 'talk' on each of these pages; I believe that the Wiki Police would love to have some definitive discussion about things like how vehicle drag numbers should be interpreted, etc.
Aptera is providing us with a great vehicle, it would be nice if their 'external view' in Wikipedia were accurate and not misleading.
