Hi,

The deposit for an Aptera was just $500, and at something under 4,000 of those collected, (total of less than $2M). They got $30M-40M of VC investment.

I very much hope that they can build some actual units of the production design, and start to "ship" them! This would quiet the critics, and calm the fans; to a great extent, I think.
