Nothing to see there....just a place holder until they announce nothing. Seriously, there is no there there.

It sure is hard to find good help these days...but I bet they have their 'team' on it :-)
I am guessing you had a bookmark to that page. It's a classic case of you can't get there from here. If you go to apteradotcom you get the new page and can't go anywhere from there. Yet all of the old secondary pages are still there. To test this I clicked the link in your post. Then I edited the address from /team.php to /drive.php and that page was still there. Ironically all of the old links still work so I guess I could have just clicked the links to test it. There I go over thinking it.
Again, why put up the new front page if the rest of the site isn't ready? That question isn't aimed at you, it's more of a WTF statement than a question.

Well, to be fair... They have been treading it, recently.

Fair? nothing to be fair about. they have ruined what was, and still have no clue how to proceed. this is just a place holder of incompetence.

Its obvious to me they are going into production. What i want to know is how much the car will cost and what changes to the vehicle have they made if any to keep costs down? I just hope they have a model around $25-30K, but I suspect they will be in the $40-50K range. Limited production, higher price. This will be very interesting to see, hopefully they will post the whole new site asap.

This is also their last major effort to get this company going. If this does not work out they are finished.

Into production with what? PBW has avoided production at every opportunity. I think it's more likely this is a last ditch effort for more funding. I expect a new rendering soon with talk of a new design (S0-2?). Or pictures of a half built S0-2.

Well... If their intention was to "stir things up" by spending almost no money, they certainly have accomplished that on this forum. Time will tell whether more general media will give them the free publicity they seek.
