Welcome back Aptera, and old forum posters! Back then, I proposed on this forum that Aptera pursue the SF Airport taxi market to launch Aptera. Basically the idea then was and is still, to begin as a taxi service for SF Airport, then expand as a taxi service in SF. I think this is still a good idea that could allow Aptera to begin with a small fleet, and "expand consciousness," to use a CA term. Uber and Lyft were maybe around back then, but they are more vulnerable than ever today, because they did not live up to their promises of changing transportation. Please think again of this opportunity! How much more would I pay to arrive at SF and ride to my destination in an Aptera rather than an Uber? Probably twice as much. For that ride, I could think about the city, it's potential, and the promises of the future, and dream of the possible.

To put a finer point on this, if you committed to demoing the Aptera car with one car ten years ago as a shuttle service from the SF airport where would you be now? Aptera is the future, but a tenacious plan wins over sudden mass expanded consciousness.
