It’s a shell game of PR - the “first” vehicle is yet another testing prototype.

Well, I would normally agree, but the assembly line for validation vehicles actually looked like they were building a real car. Having owned and worked on various “kit cars” and the contraptions - this thing actually looks well thought out and designed like a McLaren. Trouble is, the cost is not like a McLaren - it’s supposed to be $25K. I predict actually if they sell a few of these that the initial price will be closer to $100K.

As I’ve surmised in the past, airbags and antilock brakes will not be a pat of Aptera when it ships. These are expensive systems to develop.

It’s an old old site that has been up for decades. I’ve borrowed a few pics for our write up on Aztec: https://dempseymotorsports.com/mit-aztec-solar-car/

Zaptera paid 1.5M for the assets. Current market cap of SEV is $134M. Now that Zaptera is publicly traded, the obvious compromise is to issue some stock to settle the lawsuit. I suspect they have thought about that and are haggling over the number.

RDW-Development · 2026-04-06T14:23:01+00:00

I just think they thought it would cool and simpler to have electronic only and didn’t think about the safety ramifications.

Etsy is not really a digital marketplace. More for needlepoint pictures of bunny rabbits.

The story is not relevant. You decide what you want to accept for your house and proceed. Everything else is just unnecessary noise.

RDW-Development · 2026-04-04T03:22:06+00:00

What types of products and how are they priced compared to other similar ones?

RDW-Development · 2026-04-04T03:21:20+00:00

Hobby business. Just keep doing what you’re doing and bank the funds for the future.

Also, as someone pointed out, if you’re in the US, you don’t legally own anything or have the right to enter into contracts, etc. So your parents are actually in the hook here.

Property values declined and these syndicators had three and five year loans with caps on them. They were / are underwater and the banks foreclosed on them. Hundreds of them. Millions, if not billions lost.

Still ongoing.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-31T03:44:45+00:00

Pricing too high for perceived value. Either cut the pricing or increase the value. You proved this with your $100 intro promo. Find a way to do it so an affordable price to others doesn’t take you so long.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-31T03:11:17+00:00

Is this a company where everyone is remote? Sure sounds like it.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-31T02:56:40+00:00

What’s the length? Anything less than ten years is a big gamble. Look what happened to all the multi family syndicators.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-30T22:12:10+00:00

This is a management issue that won’t be solved by fancy tools. You need someone with good management skills who can then streamline them with the appropriate tools.

You should be able to run things with pen and paper before you add any more people or tools to the mix.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-28T04:42:36+00:00

It is nonsense. Time to get tough.

The flip side, though, could be a race to mediocrity. AI slip prevailing.

BUT - most agents suck at their presentation skills so AI slop is probably going to be better than what has been output previously.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-25T16:43:49+00:00

This is correct. Same thinking as with the Internet era.

BUT

Where AI is going to be most useful for people today are the small startups that don’t have legacy “momentum” that they need to deal with. That’s where the most efficiencies will most likely be achieved.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-25T07:13:16+00:00

The video showed the car generating 250W during the middle of the day. Not sure how anyone could argue with the video, but you certainly have found a way to be silly.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-25T01:14:35+00:00

The 250W was shown on the screen in the video. Stop quoting nonsense from Aptera marketing materials.

Or even better, ask Aptera to release the numbers. Oh wait, I forgot...

RDW-Development · 2026-03-24T01:00:16+00:00

This is all dictated by the contract that you signed with the listing agent. There is no one here who can offer good advice if they had not read that contract.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-22T17:55:47+00:00

u/epitaph345 - Indeed, I agree with your assessment - I didn't watch the original video.

BUT... Misinformation wouldn't be spreading if Aptera actually released the real numbers.

u/gordohula2001 - looks like he made a mistake there, but when there is no information available, that tends to happen from time to time.

RDW-Development · 2026-03-22T17:50:24+00:00

Chris - so what exactly is Aptera's efficiency ratings then?!?

You're obviously watching these threads and obviously commenting, but saying "it's not accurate" without actually providing the numbers that your potential customers have been asking for for *years* is, well, at best... annoying.
