It's national news. Looks like they don't put it up for viewing until
24hrs after broadcast.

I would love to see that clip... But i have been unable to locate any such
video. If you find a link to it online, or know which NBC station ran it,
that would be great.

Hi All, Just watching NBC Evening News tonight had the Aptera with
it's CEO? on and they went for a test ride. The problem was it couldn't
get up a hill I assume was a longer one, the motors overheated and had to
pull over to let them cool down. That is not good. Though maybe the
heavy aero wheel skirts are not helping either if they don't provide
airflow. This is a problem with hub motors as at such low RPM they have
to use massive amps which of course makes massive heat but I'd thought they
had worked that out. As I said my last post they need to go back to a
geared rear motor and get rid of the hub motors like they had when they
first designed it about 20 yrs ago. Even then they had problems with
motor overheating so they gave me a call since I was doing the FreedomEV at
the time, a similar EV but more conventional looking. Turned out they had
geared it too low and increasing the gearing from 4-1 to 7-1, solved it.If
I was them, I'd be making a backup plan of either front or rear geared
drives. Jerry Dycus
