Hello,

We'll know in the next few months whether Aptera is for real or not. They will be crash testing it, and they are starting production soon. They had hoped to start production in October (just past), so if things slip until early this year, I'm not going to hold that against them.

They have been revising the design, and have added outside mirrors in place of the video cameras; to meet the letter of CA law. They have rented a much larger space, and have moved into it.

They have $500 deposits from ~4,000 people; hardly seems worth spending millions for.
