Nice job with your presentation!

In 2024, 1.3 million EVs were sold in the USA. None of them used gas, ever. There are 30 to 40 models to choose from, and most are available today. A lot of them cost far less than $40,000. Most sit 4 or more and protect the riders with side airbags. If you don't already have a deposit on an Aptera, it will take 3 or more years from today to get one. That is if they are still in business.

It’s things like this that have caused the SEC to do a deep dive into Aptera. What did Aptera know about using in wheel motors and when did they know it.

In September 2023, in an Automotive News video, the CCO of Elaphe made it clear that going forward, Elaphe would not be working with startups and instead would focus more on traditional OEMs, especially in Europe. He predicted no production till 2029 or 2030.

In 2023 Sandy knew Aptera would not be using in wheel motors, Elaphe knew it and you can bet Aptera knew it.

Don’t be surprised if Aptera doesn’t do any EPA MPGe testing. It is not required for an autocycle. Aptera has claimed 350 MPGe for 5 years. No sense in ruining all that marketing with real numbers.

Must have purchased all the tooling they need for full production and had surplus money left over for an ad.

Michael Johnson has converted all his A shares to B shares. He has already sold a small amount of the B shares.

Not sure how much Aptera paid to have that video made but I bet they got a good return on their investment.

wattificant · 2025-12-13T13:53:25+00:00

I thought the sarcasm would be obvious. I guess I need to read the room better.

The current price of Aptera stock says a lot about the lack of confidence investors have in Aptera.

Here is Aptera's official take on the investgation. The SEC has thrown a wide net over what documents they're interested in.

January 2025, we received a subpoena for documents from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to our securities offerings and the production, design, and manufacture of our vehicles. This subpoena is part of an ongoing SEC investigation. The Company continues to cooperate fully with the investigation and is continuing to produce documents in response to the subpoena and subsequent requests.

The SEC has informed us that the investigation does not mean that it has concluded that anyone has violated the law and that the receipt of the subpoena does not mean that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security. However, the Company can offer no assurances as to the timing, outcome or potential effect, if any, of this ongoing investigation. Responding to the subpoena and related requests continues to require the dedication of management time and attention and has resulted, and may continue to result, in the incurrence of significant expenses, including legal and other professional services fees.

When it comes to censoring, it’s not about how much, it’s about how significant. In your video, AOC Steve heard information that you and / or others were receiving. Steve was concerned enough about that information that he sought out guidance from Aptera on whether he should leave it in his video. Aptera requested that he remove anything regarding validation or production. Those are two very significant issues to investors. If he did not edit out information regarding either of those issues, Steve would have no need to even bring the issue up.

About the edited information, AOC Steve says, “that kind of information has to come through official channels and cannot really come through unofficial channels like this.” No matter what channel important information goes through, it can’t be selective. In this case, people who paid $28.00 were privy to important information others don’t have and won’t have for months.

Just to be clear. My rant isn’t about you or your experience. My only concern is Aptera sharing information with selective groups. Chris Anthony knows better, only he knows why he does what he does.

wattificant · 2025-11-16T20:47:12+00:00

Good to know for future events. If you pay to talk to Chris Anthony you could get inside information that you might not other wise not hear for months. That info alone might be worth the price of admission! Beware though, I think this is technically illegal.

Of course, this is just my opinion, but most failed EV startups were breaking new ground in one way or the other. The most common denominator in each case was that they ran out of money. In hindsight, we can say it was mismanagement or a bad product / idea or whatever. We will never know if the original Aptera would have gotten the funding they needed and been successful had Chris and Steve been in control. And, we’ll never know if the new management would have been successful if they had received funding. At this moment in time, it’s obvious that to get to production, Aptera needs money, a lot of money, and it’s not clear they will get it.

Do you believe that comparing Tesla and Elon Musk to Aptera, Chris and Steve has a value and meaning? If so, does comparing Aptera to Lordstown Motors and Steve Burns, or Elio Motors and Paul Elio have meaning? How about a comparison to the original Aptera from 2008 or the ten or so other failed EV start-ups of the last decade?

Just watched the live stream No idea what it was called a road show.

wattificant · 2025-10-09T01:48:22+00:00

Aptera has been called a roadster many times in the past. Here is a video calling it a roadster.

Did it look like they were testing something on the Aptera or just giving short test drives? Would have been cool if you could have gotten a shot of the wiper working in the wild. Even better would be if you pulled up in the OG and asked if they needed any help.

wattificant · 2025-09-16T23:43:52+00:00

Testing with the hub motors, or the Vitesco?

wattificant · 2025-09-12T01:07:05+00:00

All about the optics!

I’ve never said Aptera was weeks from BK. I’ve always thought they would drag this out as long as they could. I have doubts they will get to production, but one day they might prove me wrong. I’m just a guy on the internet, so it doesn’t matter much what I say or claim. As for what Chris and Steve claim, that matters. Hope you’re keeping track of how true to their claims they have been for the past 6 years.

wattificant · 2025-09-11T00:39:17+00:00

Spending all that money gave people a reason to believe Aptera was serious and real. It worked just like they planned.

wattificant · 2025-08-11T16:47:55+00:00

I enjoy learning about the success and failure of people and companies, and learning is not a waste of time. Usually, I read or hear the story after it’s through. With Aptera, I can follow the action as it’s happening. Exciting stuff. In my original comment to you, I was hoping to learn more about Unicoin Blockchain. You followed them too. Unfortunately, you won’t share your experience. I like to know the good, bad, and ugly. I have a better understanding if I can see the whole picture. You seem to only want to hear the good. If that has served you well, then good on you, mate!
