I understand this in theory, but they have been so incredibly open in other ways - the cut-away views of the motor and of the batteries, for example. It just seems weird to me - if they didn't want people to see under the hood, then... why did they open the hood? I mean, I can even understand putting some kind of cover over the motor in case someone snuck up and opened the hood - but in the video it looked like it was one of the gloved people opening it up. I would guess that a gloved person behind the ropes is someone who is supposed to be there.mitch672 said:They don't want to show what is under the hood - yet No point in giving the competition any hints is my guess.

Yeah, if Aptera had a peek under the hood they could steal their ideas and beat them to market.

May be one way to keep everything clean and dustfree. Also there are high voltages below (lvl 3 charging etc) - so that may be a safety issue.
