Hiya,

They have updated their rollout date: the first Aptera 2e will out on January 16th -- just over a week from now! it will not be a "retail" unit -- in other words, it will probably go to someone in the company; likely Steve Fambro. Reading between the lines (of the letter they wrote to depositors about a "Lock-in" option they are offering), I think they will start delivering to the depositors during this quarter (Q1 09), and volume production by the end of the year.

Also, here are some higher resolution (rendering) images -- presumably, we'll see actual photos on the 16th! The first one shows the front wheel drive shafts:
