Thread: The Sci-Fi connection

  1. #1

    The Sci-Fi connection

    To some, electric cars are a "thing of the future", part of science fiction.

    Tesla's chairman shares his activities at Tesla with his Space-X company with a goal to send people to Mars. (Again the stuff of science fiction at the moment).

    Darkstar, & Whitestar product code names were reportedly taken from science fiction movies.

    Does anyone have a photo of Aptera's CEO?

    Because you know, if there's a car that looks like a prop from a sci-fi movie, the Aptera is it. (With a nod to the Corbin Sparrow/Myers NMG too, of course.)

    I would never have made the connection between Ze'ev Drori and Patrick Stewart. This might be a better comparison. . .




    That's Roger Delgado, who was the first actor to play "The Master" in the Dr. Who TV series.

    Steady chaps. Grand Moff Drori isn't really the issue.

    Thanks TEG. I must have Star Trek on the brain now. . . That last photo (Steve Fambro, right?) brought to mind William Shatner. And a shuttle pod.

    Not only is the Roadster prettier than the Aptera, but I think Martin is prettier than their CEO. A completely unbiased opinion

    Ouch. Admittedly, that picture did capture the essence of how I looked and felt before the Aptera launch. Almost 2 days of work and no sleep..same for almost everyone at Aptera! In any case, since you asked about a photo of the Aptera CEO, I thought I'd give you several.

    But not without first telling you about how I feel about Tesla! I and everyone here at Aptera stand in awe of the accomplishments made by Martin et-al at Tesla. Martin, and his creation, Tesla Motors, have made electric vehicles cool again. Indeed, they 'brought sexy back'. The Tesla board, and the new CEO would be well served to re-think their decision.

    Enjoy the pictures, they each have a wonderful story behind them.

    Regards,

    Steve Fambro
    CEO, Aptera Motors

    "That last photo (Steve Fambro, right?) brought to mind William Shatner."

    I thought that picture looked more like Al Gore.

    The world loves to be deceived.
