We drive Aptera's solar car, Tesla Cybercab specs revealed, Lucid Cosmos design leaks, and more

But yeah, the Cybercab, uh, what happened this week is, uh, EPA certification.

It was, uh, it was teased a few weeks ago by, by Tesla that, um, it was the newly record efficiency for any kind of, uh, vehicle officially certified by the EPA.

And, and we can, we can confirm that, uh, through the filings of this week.

But, uh, there's a few other, you know, some things that were confirmed, some thing that we weren't sure about.

Uh, just a, a few points to, to, to discuss in terms of actual specs of the, of the vehicle.

So we, uh, a 47.6 kilowatt-hour battery pack.

Uh, it's using a three-phase, a three-phase permanent magnet motor, uh, rated at 163 kilowatts, which is, uh, just over 200 horsepower.

It is a front-wheel drive, so we already knew that.

Um, yeah.

The weight.

So the weight was a big question 'cause this, you know, the goal was to make this car as efficient as possible.

Uh, 3,113 pounds.

It's, uh, uh, that, oh, that's curb.

Yeah, curb weight is the, yeah, that's the weight.

Yeah.

That's the unladen weight.

That's 300 pounds heavier than my Roadster.

[laughs]

I, I think, I, I personally, I thought it was h- it w- it was, uh, heavier than I was expected.

You know, I, I thought it could get u- under 3,000.

Um...

Yeah.

It's tough with, with batteries, you know?

Yeah.

And without using carbon fiber and all that kind of stuff.
