[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children) appreciate honesty instead of BS promises. hopefully it's a real project and not some sort of investor scam vaporware. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 17 hours ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago permalink fedilink source parent
