Default Top Ten Electrics - Aptera mentioned

Article on the top 10 electrics. Aptera is mentioned in the last line as an afterthought:

The writer comments that Aptera dashboard is on the hoimepage of the DOE. Follow the link he posts and sure enough...it's there.

Well, it looks like the same old non-icon (text only) button layout for the dashboard since they first showed the fatSO-1.

Does not appear to be much, if anything, that's been moved forward twards final production, that I can see, based on this image... What exactly have they been DOING all this time????

And I would not assume that some clip-art on a website means they got any DOE money.

I also doubt it means they got the money. I agree it's likely just clip art they had at hand. The picture was probably taken at the Steven Chu meet and greet just after the X-prize.

As for what they're doing? Rearranging office chairs...
