วีดีโอ

I Remember seeing the aptera prototype for the first time years ago aand then tha sad news. I'm also building a vehicle that i think will be the future of personal transportation. I know it sounds exaggerated and maybe it is but i think it's pretty cool. For anyone interested i post the progress on my yt channel

Are you still making content? Perhaps elsewhere? It’s fine to take an extended break or move on to other things, I’m just curious. Cheers

Holon Auto is coming to Jacksonville florida.

Have any investors received their invitation to the webinar yet? I think we’re supposed to get them today, right?

I’m new to crowdfunding shares. How will the value of our seed money shares change post IPO?

Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your analysis. As far as dilution goes, my opinion is a bit different. At the moment these are not truly tradable shares, unless someone approaches you to purchase them at a deep discount they are going to be actually worthless until production starts and IPO is achieved. So when I hear dilution, you really can’t dilute something that has no value to us investors. My hefty investment (at least hefty to me) is to try and get this dream realized. If it does then there is a potential for a return.

You suggest giving up equity = giving up control, however issuing non-voting shares would allow principals to retain control… correct? Though dilution of share value remains a concern if they don’t borrow to finance production. I hope you’re correct that they’ll mostly use loans & (possibly) govt. grants to reach production.

Production funding still not secured………production maybe will start in 2026

The best of all possible scenarios would be if Aptera had found their $60 million investor in the UAE and could begin production right away. Clearly this isn't that. At least part of the funding is not going to be available immediately, although if Chris is calling for production to begin in 2025, that suggests he expects it to be there within a year. In addition, it was always understood that that $60 million was just to start production. More will be needed to continue it. And if the start up capital is coming in over time, then that funding to continue production will have to cone in over time too. So is this as grest as it could have been? No, but it is still pretty good and more than I was expecting, frankly. It's more uncertain than we were hoping for, perhaps, but none of this is certain. We're talking about the automotive industry. And the oil industry. Aptera has a hard headwind to fight.

I know Aptera has been showing their prototypes here and there around the country, but they need to REALLY accelerate this practice so that tens of thousands of people around the country can see and ride in these impressive vehicles and spread the word.

I'll be honest, the vehicle looks great, but the latest update left me with more questions than answers. I won't be investing, but I might get a reservation.

It takes billions to fund production.

Iiiit's gooood! Like that you have put the champagne in the fridge 😊

This looks to be excellent news. A small clarification though: dilution doesn't necessarily mean that the price per share is reduced. Rather, it means that there are more shares, so your percentage of the total shares is reduced. For example, if you have a company that is worth $1 million dollars, and a new investor comes in with an additional 1 million dollars to invest in the company, they will be issued new shares to represent that new value. The company will now be worth two million dollars, and have twice as many shares as it had before. The price per share has not changed. If however The new investor is able to invest at a reduced share price to previous investors, then it's a different story. But we simply don't know yet whether that's true

It is simply replacing Republic who does crowd funding with a company who does investment that traditional investment companies do not. In other words given how Aptera recently moved language around in their annual filing they may end up selling shares at heavy discount in order to obtain funding. They do not have much in assets for weighing against loans and their IP has no demonstrated value until production occurs. Plus most telling, until they reach production there is no accurate means to measure actual sales potential at that price point they will actually charge; hint that 25k Aptera will never exist and the LE will be closer to 50k.

I'm going with the great news train of thought.

To the point, just how we feel about this news after postponing the April update for 2 weeks. Let's all x our fingers (toes crossed voluntarily ;-) ) that the financing for the road to production will be sustainable and resillient.

It's desperate news Aptera is doing desperate move after desperate move the last 6 months

My guess is they’ll need $130M. . Half of it in the form of a line of credit. Equity is better than debt as they should reach positive cash flow as soon as possible.

I agree that there needs to be a balance between debt and equity financing for Aptera. But still overall this is good news! With a general slowdown for EVs in the U.S. Aptera really needs to start production before they IPO. Once Aptera production starts scaling, then financing and grants will be much easier to come by.

It is good only if this is a debt-based loan and not equity. If control can go elsewhere (out of Chris and Steve's control), that will be it for me; shares will be sold. Hope it's the former.

Thank you for your clear and easily understood description. We can't wait to hear what comes out of the June 6th webinar!

You are a great example to other podcasters how to be succinct and to the point!

Very realistic.

It is a good thing.

Thank you for your input on this. Looking forward to the investor webinar

Don't forget their IP among their assets.. I think it's far more valuable than some may presume.

I am willing to deal with dilution if this gets Aptera to production.

Great news!

Can’t wait ❤😊

2:10 - WOW, holding the door(skin) with 2 fingers!

At the rate they are making progress the Aptera "Unicorn" model should be ready for production by Spring of 2044. I am so excited.

Would love to buy one.

This was a nice, brief update. I am eagerly awaiting to see the suspension and interior parts finalized so that the whole PI model builds are completed, for real world testing and new product reviews. Leading up to volume production after funding goals are met. It is good to also see the European homologation moving forward, especially with much of the Aptera vehicle production being done in Europe to start.

Has anyone checked out the now in production airless tires that look like they would add to the aptera's control/safety as well as the Enviromental aspects.?

Great to see the steady progress Aptera is doing. Thanks for the update. Well done.

Thanks for your excellent work!

I agree, this is an excellent condensed summary of Aptera news. These are exciting and pivotal times in Aptera's progress!

Excellent summary, the binc is a huge step on their path and it's been a(nother) really exciting month

Purchased 100 shares down under ❤

I wonder if i reserve a cybertruck now if i will get it before the aptera i reserved 3 years ago

Love the way you work with the content! Thanks for this channel

I LOVE Aptera’s Binc Bones! 👍😁🌞⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Concerning front number plate: thought it should work with stickers. Rear plate different story. Thanks for covering the event and ask Europe specifics!!

Thanks for documenting this experience! Wish I could've been there. Everything looks so sharp and solid, super rigid design. Can't wait to see this in mass production!

It would be cool to see this at the IMTS in Chicago this year. I hope you could exhibit at the show.

❤

Great questions, answers, and exposure for Aptera, thank you!

We want android auto and apple carplay! Please!

Thanks for the informative video. Shared.
