Anyone else get the email from "Aptera" saying one of the co-founders has started "Epic EV" and "will begin production in Louisiana"? Will it be Epic fail or Epic?

I think it has more of a chance in Louisiana. Cheaper cost of living and a lot less government restrictions and regulations. |

Presuming it's California's fault that Aptera diddled around with everything but building product, you could be right.

That would be Chris Anthony, and he has a decent chance of producing vehicles.
Aptera failed because the CEO they hired has crashed the company -- Aptera is the third one in a row.

I thought it was pretty funny that they kept doing stupid things with their prototypes and basically got tons of free "engineering" from forums by posters trying to set them straight!

I think it's pretty funny that you would believe that any serious engineering company would believe what people say on an internet forum about engineering!!
