Aptera... What are you going to do with the $10 Million?

[yoursailor05]

Congrats Aptera you will be there really soon. What do you plan on doing with the money that you will receive for winning the 100 MPG contest?

I hope you win this before the Chevy Volt get's it. B/c they are wastefull with there money and i believe you guys will be more resorceful with it.

I do not think this would be good for Aptera.

If you read the rules for the race it is not a good deal for Aptera.

First: Aptera qualifies for the Alternative Class which gets 1/4 of the 10 million
Second: There is a $10,000 entry fee with another $200,000 minimum additional cost.
Third: Aptera must submit all company data or be disqualified.
Forth: Would you risk all of your company's secrets and data for a shot at 2 million. They have over 3 million in the prototype with a shot at 500 million in California alone.

Of course advertising is priceless.:cool:

well if they win... they should invest it in the company offcoarse.

I heard about plans for a 4 seater :D.
I hope they stay with the same design.. Because it's GREAT !

Maybe use it as a rebate check to current Aptera owners. :D (At least to Aptera owners #1684 and below)
