I think it is very wise of them to bring that spare body and let people pound on it with the sledgehammer. That should go a long way toward convincing people that it is safe.

Well, these videos confirm the tail-bounce and suspension creak when stopping quickly. Wanna see what the new suspension geo does under load... 2e looks really wide with the lights on at night. Pretty, but wide.

i had to laugh - you and i have such similar video! i have them posted on youtube.com - id is "genabena852".

your "body stress test" video - that is the only guy that i recorded hitting it. at the start of the video, i'm in the background, 2nd from the left between that guy and the gal wearing the pashmina. you can see me actually recording that guy.

and your first video, when he is "swerving" to miss the pot hole, he is AIMING at me -i have the same video but a little further up the road.



the car creaked A LOT. I am hoping that will change. and each time that they went from "stop" to "go", there was a "double knocking". not sure what that was...

I just noticed that and commented on your video. You can see me on the right filming the same guy swinging the sledgehammer. My Youtube account is ReliableSunPower. I favorited and subscribed to yours.

Does no one ever open the rear?

not that i saw... although, now that i think about it, there were people in line talking about trunk space but STILL i never saw anyone try to open it.

honestly, we were all in line SO long, that when our group got to the front, we didn't know WHAT to do!

I read somewhere in the forum that the trunk and the boot were unable to be opened.

i know that they were talking about the doors on other models not being possible to open, but i didn't hear about the trunk (or boot) specifically.

I ask how to open the trunk of pp4 in Long Beach. You touch the green Aptera logo on the right rear corner. I heard a click, but nothing happened. I was told the trunk had been "disabled". They may not want to show off the trunk until they can lower the floor and increase the cubic footage.
