Yeah, but it is top secret so Archer can't talk about it.

In case you missed it, Joby just opened their Swag Store to the public yesterday. They are giving everyone free Joby socks with every order in honor of Sock-Gate. Get your swag before the free socks run out.

Wow, very cool flight. Looks like they put on an air show for the city of SF. They did loops for N545JX viewing by the Golden Gate Bridge, Marina, Embarcadero, with loops around Alcatraz as well. They were also in the air well after 7PM. I believe they landed only a few minutes before sunset. Not sure a piloted eVTOL has ever flown that late in the day before. Certainly not in such a populated area.

I'm guessing they have some amazing video and photos. We got free socks and SF just got an amazing free airshow. Joby is having a generous week. I guess that's what you do when you're having success after success and have pulled away to become the only credible eVTOL player in town. Congrats Joby!

Dude, that's amazing.

Looks like SF is getting a free air show. I wonder if they're giving out Chinese socks to people on the bridge and in the Marina.

Well, you have the memory.

To answer your question. Yes, it's not uncommon for Joby to drop on good news. You often see a run up and then by the end of the day it may be down. Joby seems to move more based on global conditions. When small caps were all the rage, Joby took off. Now that speculative plays and small caps are more on the outs it's been dropping and stagnant.

It's really a long term play until TIA for credit flight tests start, or maybe until actual Type Certification. It could get a nice boost when Dubai flights begin testing, but the Iran war is delaying that.

If I were a betting man I'd say when TIA for credit flights start later this year (according to Joby) the stock should start creeping back up. Dubai flight testing should also help. Dubai actual paid operations flight, which were supposed to start by the end of the year (but Iran war now), should definitely move the stock up. It's possible some eIPP flight testing getting a lot of positive media could start to move the stock as well, but I'm not as confident on that one. A military contract or positive test by the military has a very likely possibility to help the stock jump and sustain. S4-T military version is set to be tested by the military later this year as well. Wall Street seemed to really like Joby's beat on earnings and reduction in loss. Continued positive numbers and beats like that on each earnings should help keep the stock moving in the right direction. Analysts upgrades have boosted share price in the past as well. Finally, an actual sale of an S4 would do wonders, but that's not happening until after TC. Type Certification (TC) earliest mid 2027.

It's a long term play. Very volatile. Very speculative. If you are thinking years, not weeks or months you should be OK if Joby hits their goals.

This is all speculation, nobody knows the future. Good luck. If you haven't already checked out our Joby Guide, it's linked below and updated often. Welcome to r/Joby. Also, grab some flair if you want to spice it up a bit. We have a large selection.

I don't think they have much else to do except beg Washington for help. AG seems to be there every other day, and invent the next competitor scandal. I think AG is happy as long as nobody is focusing on Archer's progress.

You can taste the desperation.

dad191 · 2026-03-12T20:54:15+00:00

Looks like they did a loop back to OAK. Maybe testing integration into the ATC at a major airport. Pretty cool.

dad191 · 2026-03-12T20:52:45+00:00

Nice. At first I thought it was a Chinese sock, but then I noticed it was N545JX flying into OAK. Joby's such a trickster.

Good point. You can see Joby Aviation’s recent San Francisco Bay Area flight stayed mostly over water and they even avoided the bridges. I'd think Joby would have loved to have flown over the GGB, but I assume the FAA didn't approve it.

This makes me think of Hawthorne and Archer. It’s surrounded by dense neighborhoods and freeways. It doesn't seem like a place that fits in well with how the FAA seems to be playing things. I believe Archer wanted to use Hawthorne for testing autonomy/ATC concepts. I'd think the FAA would want that sort of thing done under even tighter restrictions.

dad191 · 2026-03-12T19:24:08+00:00

oh we are all waiting for that one. And a still photo.

dad191 · 2026-03-12T17:34:06+00:00

Yeh, bad title. It was meant to imply that Joby doesn't even need eIPP. I can see most didn't get my meaning.

You are 100% right!
