    Those loyalty building attributes you discussed are seen in Aptera and are definitely what attracted us to them. Add development transparency, a desire for a long life product, use of non-corrosion materials, first principles design, willingness to hear/accept public input, and right-to-repair..... and you have an unheard of combination that is very positive and very rare!!

    Thank you so much for this video! Yes, Sarah was the pioneering force of Aptera to realize this amazing mobility concept and will hit the streets next year finally. Once Aptera, always Aptera in hearts and I think every former Aptera employee will feel the same way and will be forever connected to it. Many of them are investors themselves and I am convinced that they will come back at some point, if it makes sense for them. Let's support Aptera wherever we can to create precisely these conditions.
    So no goodbyes in this matter, just postponed. Sarah's expertise is also urgently needed elsewhere, and in helping finance other green mobility start-ups right now.

    Wall Street is failing, and the venture capitalist is not what it used to be. Possibly the silicone valley surge of to 1990's changed things up. Ms Hardwick has been able to find a niche that didn't exist 35 years ago, and today is showing that crowd funding is a challenge but doable. Wall Street has lost its way. Capital formation used to start in the halls of lower Manhattan. Those were the good old days. Now the Internet is more powerful, and possibly better. The Street today is more of a casino than a capital formation farm.
    One thing Ms.Hardwick emphasized was a sense of emotional attachment for the betterment of the world. Sounds good, but has a longer time frame to accomplish, and investment types are impatient. Generations change, but it takes time. After an impactful change, it takes time for people to get onboard with the new way. Edison invented the light bulb, but we needed electricity to power it, it took lots of time for everyone to adopt to it. Changes today are quicker, but adoption is still a process.

      I think geoship is a bit naive at best, and straight up green washing as worst. It's cool that the buildings are made from sustainable materials, but you still need to use the land efficiently, and you still need to own the land before you can build one of those.
      It kinda reminds me of the whole self driving car thing, like we don't need to reinvent the wheel, we've had trains and public transit for a century. Similarly, we can build row houses out of wood and other materials like Rockwool that are totally sustainable and 100% recyclable.
      We don't need to reinvent the wheel, we just need better civil planning
