Friday, March 19th at 1:30 pm TOWN HALL Questions.

[aptera1213]

For the upcoming Town Hall, what questions would you like answered.

When do you expect the first 2e to be sold to a deposit holder/customer? When you expect number 500 to be sold to a deposit holder?

Where will the 2e be made? Do you have a site yet?

How many 2e vehicles do you plan to sell in the first year? The third year? (I would like to see if Aptera is being realistic. If they are planning on more than 5 thousand a year, they are setting up to fail...have to keep the numbers honest....20 thousand a year is not going to happen.)

When do you expect Aptera to have cars for sale at Best Buy? Do you have any other plans to get Aptera outside of California only?

Why did old management attract investors and new management attract zero investors?

Can Aptera provide a detailed list of what it is currently doing to attract/secure investors?

Can Aptera provide a detailed list of current supplier contracts and a detailed list of what it is currently doing to secure supplier contracts?

Can Aptera provide a detailed list of manufacturer contracts, and a detailed list of what it is currently doing to secure manufacturer contracts?

Can Aptera provide a detailed strategy outlining specifically where vehicle assembly will occur, estimated number of employees, estimated assembly time per vehicle, and estimated production volume each quarter for the first two years?

This forum could go on and on with questions unanswered by Aptera's newsletter and management.

The blog "town hall" is going to be a PR disaster for Aptera. From my limited perspective, I don't see them being prepared or willing to answer the tough questions, and IMHO I don't think they have the skill set or thick skin to handle the flood of negative feedback that is headed their way.

I have a feeling they're going to be aggressively filtering content, limiting content to the easiest, least challenging questions.

I like what someone wrote recently -- "less talk, more car."

Has the DoE loan application been submitted? When are funds expected?

When will a PPx with the new chassis and roll-down windows be available for public viewing/rides?

[aptera1213]

Will the PPx be used at the Xprize or will it be the PP8 test mule?

Reminds me of some politicians

Anyway, here's some things I'd like to see answered:

"How do the costs compare between the old shells and the new ones?"

"How has the vehicle's per-mile energy consumption changed during the past year and a half?"

"Obviously you must have a date that you're telling potential investors or the DOE for when you expect to deliver your first vehicle to a paying customer; nobody would take you seriously if you didn't. What is that date? A ballpark answer will suffice."

"What is 'Plan B' if the DOE money doesn't come through?"

"How does Aptera's executive compensation compare to that of companies of similar capitalization and revenue?"

"How has the shift to epoxy, Energetx, a larger battery pack, and so forth affected the unit cost of the vehicle?"

"Given that the lease ads are already up for it: on what specific date do you get booted from your Vista building?"

[NeilBlanchard]

When will we see a completed PP9 (the production version)?

Will they be doing real world range testing?

Will they be using a supercapacitor to improve the percentage of regenerative braking energy that can be regained?

Will the GPS range estimates use elevation data?

Will fast charging station locations be shown on the GPS screen?

What are the various charging modes and times?

[palmer_md]

When will i have one?

Excellent Question, Palmer MD...

[CyberBill]

In order for me to buy an Aptera, all I need to know is:

"When can I have a test drive in the production (or 99% production) vehicle?"

"When can I buy one?" <-- Both for 2e and 2h

"How much?"

I can't purchase a vehicle (even an awesome concept like the 2e/2h) until I can sit in it, drive it around, and enjoy it. I -really- want a 2h, and I just really hope that they're available on the day that my current car dies.

When will the hybrid production begin?
How many hybrids will be made a year?
Thanx
