Disclosure: I have been an investor and stockholder in Aptera since 2023, and I am a member of the 'Accelerator Program" (out of 2000 investors of $10k or more) which gives me priority to purchase one of the first 2000 vehicles manufactured should I choose to do so.

As for the NASDAQ debut, it is my belief that the opening stock price will be valued at $44.40 per share from the information I have available at present.

Vaporware.

Thank you for sharing this milestone for Aptera with us. I hope they get their vehicle to market. We need all the electric vehicles we can get.

Anyone thinking of buying shares should very carefully review Aptera's history, including numerous missed deadlines and broken promises. Almost Tesla-like.

Also note the phrase: "Aptera is committed to building a sustainable business"...

Another start up EV company to lose money on?!?

Already experienced a massive CG loss on AMV/NXU this year when they dissolved the company by Live YouTube meeting with shareholders & followers, not a class act by Mark Hanchett.

At $44.40 a share, what is the P/E ratio? Infinite?

However, Aptera is not doing a traditional IPO. It’s not even doing a SPAC deal. It’s doing a direct listing, which means that if approved by NASDAQ, it will allow shareholders to trade their shares on the public market.

This is usually an exit strategy for existing shareholders. Aptera won’t receive any proceeds from going public. They wrote in their SEC filing:

This prospectus relates to the registration of the resale of up to 31,741,948 shares of our non-voting Class B common stock… We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class B common stock by the registered stockholders.”

Yes, always good to be a bit skeptical when investing in a company, no matter whether they are a start-up or an established business.

Never invest money you can't afford to lose!

But from following the development since 2023, I have been impressed with the engineering aspects of the design as it has evolved. Their YouTube page has videos going into the details.

It is not 'vaporware' per se, there actually is a vehicle, a manufacturing process, suppliers for the various parts, etc., so it is more than a mere concept at this point.

This is what Sandy Munro saw when he visited a year ago in Oct 2024:

Of course there is no guarantee they will be able to scale up and mass produce a vehicle. And of course the new administration and congress ending the EV subsidies will be a headwind for any new EV.

Time will tell.

It took Tesla a long time to come out with the Cybertruck after the announcement, same with the Lightning, so sometimes you have to be patient.

They have a growing 'fan base' for what its worth.

They are attempting to make a somewhat revolutionary electric vehicle, more efficient, simple to manufacture, etc., so I am hoping they are successful.

Not saying you should, but buying a couple of shares is not going to break the bank after all.

Look at their videos, consider the thought and ingenuity that went into the design, and make an informed decision before investing anything.

I think Ford and other EV makers could take a clue or two from some of the design ideas Aptera is implementing.

Even if it doesn't pan out and become a successful company, what they are doing is interesting to me from an engineering standpoint, so I support it.

While this initial listing is does only allow current stock holders to buy and sell their shares, that this is the end of the road for Aptera is pure speculation on his part, he also says:

"there’s a possibility that insiders somehow hold, and there’s some public demand for the stock amid this crazy bubble we are in – resulting in a price increase, which Aptera takes advantage of with a public offering..."

It creates a public market for the company. Going public will also allow Aptera in the future to raise capital by selling shares on the market, providing funding for vehicle production in the future.

It will also establish a price point/value for Aptera stock and indicate whether there is a market demand for shares in the company.

To really grow the company, going from crowd-funding to public funding can be one step in the process. That is, down the road, an IPO.

“Our transition to a public company is intended to empower us to scale our operations and advance the cause of solar mobility,” said Steve Fambro, Co-CEO.

I have no inside information about whether that is really the plan or not. We could take him at his word, or we could say it is BS.

If it is the plan, I hope it will be successful.

Also, it does not sound like Aptera is planning on closing up shop, but who knows:

"...Aptera has entered into a share purchase agreement providing to $75 million in committed equity financing through an agreement with New Circle Principal Investments LLC, an affiliate of growth-focused investor New Circle Capital.

This agreement gives Aptera the flexibility to issue and sell shares of our Class B common stock over time, at our discretion and subject to customary conditions and registration.

Proceeds from the equity line are expected to support production readiness, including tooling and other activities required to bring Aptera’s Launch Edition vehicles to market. ..."

Thanks - I haven't transferred my stock to my broker yet, and I was not planning on selling it at this point.

From their road show presentation, they sound committed to going into production in the next few months, then scaling up. A lot easier to assemble than other electric vehicles with only 6 body parts for example. And it can run on a much smaller battery because it is so lightweight and aerodynamically efficient.

I am down the list a ways in the first 2,000 vehicles (the accelerator program).

Definitely a 'niche' vehicle, not for everyone. But no other vehicle I know of that can run 40 miles on a days worth of sun on-board, or add 150miles of range overnight on a 120V extension cord.

The company already produces and sells their solar cell designs for campers and other RVs, and even a solar airplane company, so they have other potential revenue streams and other intellectual property to license.

Now that the $7,500 tax credit has disappeared, other EVs may become that much more expensive, maybe the Aptera Solar EV could better compete in the small EV market.

I think the Ford and other big car company engineers could learn a thing or two from the Aptera design and make a better class of electric vehicles.

I was impressed that they have a board with members that have automotive company experience (with Tesla, BMW, etc.) and battery technology.

No guaranty, but they seem to have all their ducks in a row, so I am cautiously optimistic.

I decided to take a gamble, posted a low ball order for 100 shares @ $5.00, I was surprised it executed, based on the above 52 week low/high shown this morning.

Now I've already made 60% gain......... I'll hold it and see where this goes.
