The problem with corporate guys and corporations for that matter is that is it is "my way or the the highway" style. They don't listen, they fart bigger than their asses and when they make mistakes we have to pay for them.
On the other hand had they listened to the people and just start selling the vehicle things would've fallen in place little by little. But no, they had to go around changing things and tweaking stuff. Almost 3000 were ready to buy whatever they had in hand but they looked the other way.
The US is full of these stories check what is happening with 123 LiFePo's. They will not sell to the people and the bet on OEMs and now that the OEMs caved in they are taking them with them.
Corporatism is like Communism or anything that has one rule for all solution. Small business and innovation are going to be the difference between getting out of this mess we are in. The people should have the power to decide but the way things are set up we are only the recipients of their stupidity.

I'm not psychic ... So I don't know what their agenda was , or what they wanted or didn't want ... But as I posted ... I think some of their choices were mistakes ... even if I can see the potential gain if the gamble they took had worked.
While I don't see Detroit having any special power ... it wasn't their choice who the Aptera Management was ... it wasn't their choice what happened in Ca to the Ca company.
Detroit has not been able to kill a wide variety of competition for 'their bone' ... Toyota, Honda, VW, BMW, etc ... and they haven't kill Tesla either ... and I think the reason for that is that Tesla did it right ... they started production small scale first ... then used that small scale to try and leverage their current move to the Model-S.
Aptera had the factory all setup and equipped ... even build a few vehicles off the line , before trying to go for broke and skip the small scale... this would have been the equivalent of Tesla having tried to skip past the Roadster and jump right into full scale production of the Model-S as their first vehicle to customers ... if they had tried to do that like Aptera did ... I think it would have killed them just like it did Aptera.
