25/4/09 - Aptera at Apple

These are over a year old, but I figured I'd rather share them late than never:

Some pictures I took when Aptera dropped by the Apple headquarters in April 2009. I even took some pictures of the storage space, and what the visibility out the rear view mirror looks like...

What is the deal with the SUV with its hood up in one of the pics? Was that another EV from someone else? Looks like people are checking it out also.

Yeah, it was some sort of event - I guess Apple invited a variety of "next gen" car makers to show their stuff. IIRC, the SUV was fuel-cell based. They also had some all-electric motorcycles and more. I don't remember the details because I mainly cared about the Aptera. ;)
