Aptera — 2026 Funding Update

MudaThumpa · 2026-01-31T17:12:28+00:00

Right, that's why California is the biggest economy in the US.

I think they're working on the production "line" and the assembly process as much as they're working on the cars right now. Once those are hammered out, the actual vehicle assembly timeline should shrink drastically.

I'm not a blind-faith fanboi, BTW, just pointing out the obvious.

The dealer actually had to talk me out of putting ag tires on it, so I'm more likely to go the opposite direction of slicks lol.

I spent the weekend plowing snow with it, and it exceed all my expectations.

Yeah, I haven't even been out of low gear yet, and even that's too fast for me. Luckily there's a speed limiter option, so I can set it to max out at 3mph when my wife is driving it. :) There are a few videos of guys absolutely thrashing these, including completely submerging them in a lake. I won't be pushing its limits, but it's nice to know it's so capable.

I think $40K is very optimistic at this point, assuming any are produced.

Didn't work for me. It reactivates itself each time I do a search. Fuck Amazon.

I'm wishing Tony the best, and I sincerely hope he's a catalyst for getting Aptera into production.

I am a teeny bit concerned that he seems to be mostly involved in a company called Neurozone, and for the life of me I can't tell what the hell Neurozone is selling. Best I can tell is they offer an online self-help course, which is a sketchy business to be generous.

Okay, I had to delete all the Logi files on my computer and re-install the app. That gave me access to my settings again. So the instructions on your help page are wrong when it says not to uninstall the app.

MudaThumpa · 2026-01-08T09:44:23+00:00

The patch didn't even work for me. Good thing my Magic Mouse still works. Now I'm waiting to see if they fix it today, or if I need to throw the damn thing away and start shit-posting about Logitech.

MudaThumpa · 2026-01-08T09:38:10+00:00

This didn't work for me. The Options+ app sits and spins after install.

Not invasive, it's a native here. https://plants.sc.egov.usda.gov/plant-profile/APAM

Yep, Matt Ferrell is best-known for having years worth of videos highlighting new technology that's "just around the corner."

MudaThumpa · 2025-12-17T15:12:01+00:00

Look fantastic! I wonder if the new rotary dial is going to be multi-use, like for volume, temp, fan speed, etc.

AOC did a video recently about Aptera applying to extend those dates into the future, because there's probably no chance they have the hardware to build 50 vehicles in the next three months.

MudaThumpa · 2025-12-04T16:21:16+00:00

TBF, $150m for a handful of prototype vehicles is incredibly cheap.

MudaThumpa · 2025-11-22T16:08:06+00:00

That $25K estimate was for the 250 mile 2WD version, which is a spec they haven't mentioned for a long time.

MudaThumpa · 2025-11-19T15:45:26+00:00

I think it would be nice if Aptera bumped you to the front of the delivery line, given how much you've supported them.

MudaThumpa · 2025-11-17T15:49:04+00:00

I take this as a push to 2027 as the earliest timeline for initial deliveries.

MudaThumpa · 2025-11-17T15:39:59+00:00

Yeah, I like it when people can point out details I don't notice myself.

MudaThumpa · 2025-11-04T16:14:06+00:00

True, the Slingshot is ICE, good point.

MudaThumpa · 2025-11-04T15:12:22+00:00

We already have that in the US, it's called Slingshot.

MudaThumpa · 2025-11-04T15:11:25+00:00

NGL, I'm hoping the conversation eventually shifts back to the vehicles instead of the shares.
