    From the article directly:

    There can be no assurance that Aptera will achieve start of production on the anticipated timeline or at all … These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Aptera’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

    They literally wrote “dont believe us please” in their own press release! Wow!

    Well, at least they arent lying this time! What a clown company.

        I can dash this hope for you: its vaporware. They have been “building” this “car” since 2019, or if you count their previous try, 2006(!!!).

        At this point, there are a lot of videos about those grifters, but I like the ones from youtuber “Wallstreet millenial”: Aptera1 Aptera2 Aptera3 Aptera4

        TLDW: They dont have the money or the staff to manufacture it, and no one wants to fund them, so they have been scamming their customers with penny stocks to keep afloat. Even if they somehow magically got funding, their “car” has so many fundamental design flaws and regular unfixed issues that it would be very hard to use as a car.

        The only thing that they got going for them is that it looks cool, and it would be nice if something a little bit like that existed. But not from Aptera.
