| Aptera, the California startup trying to bring a spaceship-like, solar-powered EV to market, hit what it’s calling “a major operational milestone.” | | On Tuesday, the company announced that it produced the first vehicle off of its validation manufacturing line. In other words, it’s now building vehicles using repeatable processes and actual manufacturing equipment rather than by hand. | | “The company’s low-volume validation assembly line represents Aptera’s transition from hand-built validation vehicles to a structured assembly line process. The line consists of 14 dedicated stations, where vehicles are assembled by a team of vehicle line technicians, enabling repeatable builds, process verification, and optimization,” Aptera said in a statement. | | Will Aptera be the next Tesla or Rivian? I’m not so sure. Its three-wheeled vehicle is unusual and probably niche. But now it’s one step closer to delivering cars to customers. The company says exact delivery timing still “remains uncertain.” |
