    The promise of 'Right to repair' and 'privacy' (no permanent internet connection required in order to access or operate) are the features that would be most important to me.

      We won't know about how good the "right to repair" promise will be until a good year out. Even companies like Framework needed a solid year or two after release to prove to the general public that they actually care about right to repair.
      I am more worried about "enshittification" of the firmware. Hopefully all the key elements are open source; or at least openly documented such that they can't trap us to a subscription service.

      The public offer states that this founding round is not final. Much more money will be needed to produce more than the 53 first vehicles.
      Also, the shares offered are not A shares but B stock that has no voting rights. That makes the shares much less valuable.

I have been a reservation holder since April of 2021 and have been interested in Aptera since I first saw the previous version of it back in 2005'ish. I will have my Aptera in 2025 - I never thought in my lifetime I could have access to a vehicle I never have to fuel - my commutes to work in the Aptera will be a whole new level of alternative energy. In the words of Chris Anthony, "That nuclear reactor in the sky" that will fuel my miles. Congrats to the Aptera Team and to the Aptera community to bring us to this amazing day in Aptera History.

    Hi Chris, you said in your update that "it is exciting to see....after so many years of design and development...." I come from the design and development world and find that the development of Aptera has occurred amazingly fast and with engineering methods and materials that weren't even available a few years ago. I've been a believer and investor and really enjoy the transparency, capital efficiency, novel concepts, rethinking and choice of materials and suppliers. Robust supply chain and Lean Manufacturing on top of paradigm-shifted thinking will make Aptera a huge success! I'm excited to get my LE. Thanks to the entire team!
