Do you think Aptera will have an official launch when the first 2e is completed? (hopefully soon)

If so, would 2e deposit holders be invited to check it out?

Discuss amongst yourselves....

I would hope so. They sure are playing things close to the vest. They've very rarely been making public showings and when they do, very little notice is given so one can't plan to attend.

It is weird how the skip the San Diego Car show that is a mere few miles away but the Aptera shows up across the country in New York City for a Popular Mechanics showing. Nothing at the green auto expo in nearby Los Angeles but it appears at some showing in Monterey for the super wealthy.

Well . . . at least we can thank them for the newsletters and new web site.

It sounds like a bad sign, if they're specifically courting wealthy folks... :scared0011:

In my opinion, Aptera seems to be pushing back the launch of the first 2E - why? One can only guess, but i hope its not because they ran out of funds.

Originally, Aptera said December for the first vehicle delivery, now they're not commenting when the release date will be - who runs the PR of this company?

The shining star of alternative vehicles, Tesla, had to recall all of the originally delivered vehicles to replace the transmission. Some were recalled twice: to replace the original, and then to replace the replacement.

We don't want that, now, do we? Well, I don't! Even though I could drive from my home to the factory in 30 minutes, I don't want to be bothered with owning a vehicle of questionable quality. Make my first one a good one and I will be Aptera's biggest evangelist (I'm second to KarenRei right now, but she actually got to see, touch and smell some!)
