In 2008, gas rose to around $4.25 a gallon and I was desperate for a solution. Elio came about. A 3 wheel car very similar in appearance to the Aptera, getting 84 mpg, costing $7,000, many colors, non refundable place in line for $100. The company sells it’s stock but the factory is shuttered. My heart was broken waiting for that car. Aptera has the Elio beat in every way, but will this be another humiliating decades long wait? When will they be ready? How close are they to beating every deliverable obstacle?
The Aptera Forum
Best to keep watching all the videos coming out...Pay attention to date of post on the internet.
But since you are signed up on Aptera’ s website they advise when they have zoom meetings
And then there the liw cost refundable option to hold a reservation spot:

Typically when they do new fundraiser ( next ~ 2/2021 ) they update their investor presentation wefunder.com/aptera
I hope the helps
Their 2020 Report Card from Wefunder will be due sometime too
I like to give anyone that had a plan in 2019, like Aptera... but then was subjected to the unplanned pandemic... a handicap😉
@faraimuser Take a look at this current video. It is expected that 1,500 units will be produced per year starting in 2022. The current order number is 11,000, then you can calculate when you will receive a vehicle. Also take into account that there will be no release for Europe due to the vehicle size right now.
IMHO
I am not sure this “ back of the napkin“ presentation is accurate.
I personally will wait for the new facility to come, incorporating what they adapt from Monroe and how Aptera incorporates all that, Along with outcome from their three Development vehicle testing / crash testing etc....which they can then refresh their annual Investor Presentation slides with current forecast volume estimates
Continue funding of course factors in.
I believe the new site has a 40,000 Sf building with ability to add another 100,000sf...“if“ I am recalling that correctly. So if they sub out assembly manufacturing, which have mentioned.... and finalize with this tyoe if micro mobile assembly , this can hopefully be good (?)
But I , like the presenter and thousands more.... have our reservations in and 🤞
