[benjaminvazquez]

The best interview ever. Thank you Kim, you also made some really good questions that some of us had and no one asked before, I can't wait to get mine 1, 000 miles aptera version.❤❤🎉

[morkovija]

love their attitude towards right to repair and sustainability. Wish there were thousands of apteras on the road

[xymaryai]

i love this company and vehicle, but i don't trust anyone until they are deep in production hell. good luck Aptera, i hope you grow big and stick to your principles

[meadmaker]

Everyone wants to win the lottery, but I honestly wish I could win enough to invest and push Aptera over the point they need to get right into production. I'm convinced these things are the future. And the CEO was right to praise Tesla. Without Musk using his financial power to just bulldoze his way through all the problems and issues involved with bringing a mainstream EV to market, companies like Aptera would be trying to exist in a vacuum and would inevitably fail, like it did the first time. I really hope they're able to overcome the last few financial hurdles and start putting Apteras on the road.

[ciscorodriguez-quijano]

I gotta say Kim, I have been an Aptera fan, investor, and reservation holder for over 2-1/2 years now, and I think this has been the best, most comprehensive, informative, and down to earth interview I have seen so far. It continues to reinforce my belief in Aptera’s mission, my trust in Steve and Chris’ leadership style, and my faith in the future of the company. As a fellow Accelerator investor, I am pretty confident that some time next year I’ll be one of those first owners driving an Aptera on the road. I absolutely cannot wait for that moment to become a reality. Thanks for bringing us a bit of your experience through your channel.

[n.brucenelson]

Kim, thank you so much for your Aptera coverage here. I posted a link to your channel to Reddit. I placed the 42nd order, was an early investor, and am a volunteer brand ambassador who spent many years in the industry.

[TheDapperham]

Great interview, Kim. Thank you. I am an investor too (#113) visited on Valentine's Day, got a test drive and now I just can't wait to drive ours home. I'm more confident than ever that will.happen...soonish.

[ralphinator]

The shape reminds me of a dolphin, so naturally I want my Aptera wrapped in Caribbean Blue.

[CJ-uulk]

I love the respect for right to repair from CEO. I do understand why Tesla’s service centers don’t want people but I think it’s really shitty, so much I started repairing Tesla’s and other EV’s. Apple did this and made millions but tesla will be forced to help customers if enough people fight back 👊

[slartybartfarst]

Had a picture of the original gas powered aptera on my wall for years was so disappointed when that went bust I always said it should be electric, careful what you wish for. Invested and reserved. This is the best interview to date, good to see progress. I know for sure this car sitting on your drive even here in UK getting 20 miles a day "free" is going to be the hook to sales.

[tuabenjamin]

“prototypes are easy. manufacturing is hard.”

these guys finding out first hand. wish them luck.

[stub]

Investor and res holder myself. Nice presentation, and I am also encouraged. That said, I want mine NOW!

[PCRoss]

Thanks for the metric sub-titles for us in the rest of the world. Appreciated. We're a res holder. We are in Australia, and not in a capital city. I like the way Chris is thinking about us.

[Toycollector]

This is just about the best Aptera vid I've seen yet. Can't wait to get my Aptera!!!

[iamatransporter]

Best interview with Aptera ever. Being licensed as a motorcycle also means you don't have to have a front license plate which is required in many states for cars.

[JakesOnline]

I had a reservation in 2008. This is one of the best videos on Aptera I've seen.

[ripvanstinkle]

Best interview about the progress of @aptera yet. I can't wait to see these wild cars on the road!

[johnpoldo]

Investor and reservation holder here. Mine will stay in Florida to capture as much sun as possible. I hope they have enough money to go into production.

[chrisbarrett]

I am an Accelerator, with 100% belief in the Aptera. Validation of the claims made about Aptera are just around the corner, and once proven, money should flow into them. Aptera is a gamechanger, and an advancement that 5/6 times more efficient with energy than the Prius. Cheapskates love the Prius, and gearheads will love this vehicle too. Environments will love it too, so, the appeal in fact is huge.

[invictus]

I love how this CEO celebrates the EV leader Tesla instead of hating on it; clearly due to the fact they are targeting a market niche nobody has ever gone to
