This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Aptera might be the closest think to "Open Source" we might get.

The owner and creator plans on providing all schematics, operational code, and components. Including QR codes etched on everything to easily be able to find the specific info for any given part.

It's been a while since I've done a deep dive into them, but maybe it's time to do so again.

Slate looks promising... but we'll have to see

Thanks for introducing this to me. This might actually be the vehicle that solves the needs of my wife & I.

Nice!

They certainly have some unique (and possibly controversial) design philosophies, but providing schematics is far beyond what most companies will do. I'll take another look at some point.
