Your error was in presuming the same weight and drag coefficient as the Tesla. The Aptera is both much lighter and has a far lower drag coefficient. That's where the extra range comes from despite the relative lack of surface area.

- l1tany11 4y agoThe apteta isn’t the subject of this article though. The aptera is legally not even a car, as it’s a 3 wheeler. It’s a pretty extreme vehicle. Very cool, but quite extreme. The subject of the article, is trying to be a normal 5 door car. So comparing it to the state of the art in normal cars makes sense. The claims with this car are aptera performance (40 miles a day) but with normal car form. How is that possible? That’s why people are suspicious.
