Goodbye, Punch. Goodbye, PP5 (ACP).

Wow... I'm in awe. It is actually hard for me to watch these. It's very similar to watching that video of the soldier throw that puppy off a cliff.

Granted, there are no doors to transmit the stress to other parts of the frame-- but I'm glad I'm not sitting in it.

What the heck?!?!

Why do such a thing? Those prototypes definitely would have had some auction value, if only for historical interest. I can not understand such wanton destruction of property. Scorched earth indeed.

God, That is awful to watch. It's just more proof that Paul is a VERY VERY insecure person. And also very inept.

I'm at a loss for any more words at this time.

From sublime to ridiculousness there is only one step.

Nauseating.

I notice that these are empty shells.

It is bizarre, really. Kinda' like some high school sophomores with a baby shark to dissect, and they just bash it against the lab table to see what will happen.

Hee, hee, hee -- look, the head fell off after I ran over it with a fork truck...

@Neil- these were beautiful fully functioning vehicles, two of them my small, small team (me, a guy, some interns) created while I was CTO. My gas Aptera 2g and the Series hybrid. ACP pp5 (detuned to 75 kw) could drive over 100 mph all day long (as long as there was gas in the tank or quick charge available) . In particular, PP5 would push you back in the seat all the way till it reached the RPM limited top speed of about 105~110 mph. It was an exceptional EV to drive.

They were gutted, perhaps damaged in the process, and destroyed. Can't tell of the roll structures were were removed either. There is no viable or logical reason for this to have been done, only to prevent the founders from ever seeing their functioning works again. The upside is that every vehicle there still, except that travesty of a turd S01, are bodies built by Chris and his crew.

Oh, by the way there is Zen in the MSI.......and apparently marques and paul forgot to tell the liquidators about the existence of that one. Of course I rectified the matter. I wonder what they were intending to do?

so very sad. Why?

It is a strange way for a Real Aptera Lover to act.
