This week, we’re thrilled to announce we’ve achieved an incredible milestone. With the support of the trailblazers that have joined our Accelerator Program, we recently began cutting the production tools that will forge Aptera’s six body parts in C.P.C. Group’s tooling facility in Modena, Italy. This process involves designing Aptera’s parts and the tooling, machining that tooling, and then eventually operating the tooling in presses to forge Aptera’s parts. This symbolizes a huge step toward bringing solar mobility to the masses.

Step 1. Get to production. 2. No fatal problems with the vehicle. You put it in customers hands, in large numbers, they will find them. They have to be minor or easily fixable. 3. Pass Ferrari unit production. 13,221 They are made from carbon fiber in Italy too. These guys can't survive on hundreds. This vehicle is niche, but I don't know how big of a niche. I suspect at least Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren put together. It's much cheaper, and is just as eye catching.

Transparency? Like all of 2022 when they were saying how great their honeycomb fiberglass body was. And how the gamma was 90+% ready for production. And that production would start at the end of 2022 or early 2023. And then at the end of December they ditched the honeycomb body and went in a completely new direction? Now he says they've been working on the carbon for 6 months. Plus he's still showing pics the factory in CA that is currently available for lease. This does not instill confidence.

@@russellpilot1875 Compared to Tesla, GM, Ford, Stellantis, VW, and the whole gaggle of car startups, Aptera does well. Compared to Apple, Google, and the Silicon Valley crowd, they do even better. I'm disappointed my Aptera won't ship this year, or even next perhaps, but my Cybertruck? Ordered years ago. Will Aptera succeed? Maybe, maybe not. Most car startups don't. But we will see it coming.

Way to go Aptera! This is awesome news for everyone. Production is that much closer now. Body panels will be forged very soon and buffering up the factory with parts for final assembly. The Accelerator program is going great, I feel it will be like an Ebay day on Mar 26th, 2023 when the accelerator program ends. We will see some serious "Last minute bidders" and the $20 million or more that Aptera needs will be supplied by that time. This is a Win for the accelerator investors and a Win for us pre-order holders both. Here we go, the fast part of the ride is starting now. Hang on, Here comes your Aptera 🚗🚗🚗

When your vehicle gets to production it will be life changing in a good way for a lot of people. That can't be said for very many vehicles. There's nothing like Aptera and if you can make it for less than $30,000 with good quality control it will be a major success.

Very excited for this car to reach market!

Hi Howard, I have talked to Chris Anthony and Steve Fambro in St. Moritz about this issue and they told me that yes, this is definitely in the book. Although it is not yet designed, a change from left to right hand steering will be no big deal. The much greater flexibility provided by the in-wheel motors compared to the rigid and space occupying conventional drivetrains will make it quite easy for them to be able to provide the Aptera also to countries like yours.

Also can people pick up at the factory and save on shipping costs, would be a fun cross country trip for many and would show of your car to the world.last thought I’m wondering if the tires are special and if stores will have them across the country that could cause major problems for customers if not available.

With just the rear wheel powered traction control would not be possible and the vehicle would be inherently dangerous to drive as the loss of traction at the rear wheel without controlling the front wheels would make the vehicle turn around its vertical axis quicker than you can say oops. The gain in efficiency would not be huge, mainly the saved weight of one motor. The losses (heat) of these motors is extremely low.

I can't offhand remember the size of the tires, but they are a common size available everywhere.

Thanks for the response. What about picking up a factory delivery

Almost a happy reservation holder, I don't mind the pushed back production date. What matters more is you could be using this extra time to lower production cost and give us more batter cycles by calling up cat'L and getting m3p chemistry in our aptera's

What if a potential customer pays fully for the Aptera upfront, Would you consider that part of your accelerator program?
@GoClimbARockEh

Unfortunately California law prevents them from offering this type of deal. If you pre-pay for the vehicle, that money can only be used to directly build that vehicle, and can't be used to buy tooling or machinery that would be used to build all the vehicles. But if you invest the cost of the Aptera in the company, that'll count!

No, you can only invest at this stage.

By CA law Aptera can not use any deposit money for production. Your reservation ($70-$100) is held in escrow until your Aptera is built. The Accelerator program is just for new $10K+ investments into the company Aptera. And that new investment will help fund the actual production of their new Aptera SEV.
