I am just tossing out an idea with no known facts if it is feasible. Covid in California has taken a sharp down swing over the last month and with so many people now having the vaccine, this may be possible. I was wondering if the factory would be open to have a factory tour and round house group discussion. Most of it could be done outdoors. For those of you who don't know the San Diego area, there are a lot of fun things to do in the late summer and early fall. Accommodations would be easy as well as other dining and sight seeing adventures. (go see the aircraft carrier). Restaurants are opening next week to indoor dining with restrictions. The group certainly seems enthusiastic and eager to get more information on the car as well as the assembly process. Maybe the forum experts have some connections to get something like this communicated to the appropriate marketing staff at Aptera. They will certainly benefit from the depositors and potential buyers. But they would need to get an idea of how many people would venture over there. Anybody interested?

The factory will be in a very dynamic situation until production numbers level off in a couple of years. So adding the dimension of a factory tour at this time would be disruptive to production, and none of us want that.
Comments are hard to edit on this site. My backspace doesn’t work.
This sounds like a lot of fun but I agree there are just a couple of issues. First is that with working and kids in school the summer works much better than the winter for taking time off of work. The next thing would be waiting until we can take a test drive. And third leading the Covid thing burn itself out a little bit more.

In the 'roadmap' Aptera has said that they hope to offer the ability to view the vehicle in person and possibly take a test drive later this year.
I would love to do this, though will be waiting for when it can be combined with a test drive appointment.
I would like that but still a “hot potato” topic
(This is coming from a person that had proof of my two vaccinations) I still haven’t booked a return to family back east, because of the uncertainty.
All the EV meeting/events I attend are still virtual😔
Maybe more universal ( guidance ) agreement will come from the medical professionals this summer.
This will get us to the six to nine month timeframe Chris spoke of in some videos a while ago, where final decisions should be known for Production harmonization
It would be promising to see a humming production scene.
Short of that....seeing some actual video footage of the Development vehicle on the road with feedback from the likes of Sandy Monroe/ EV specialists/ enthusiast ... could carry alot of meaning
I have been driving for about 50 yrs and never visited the actual production of the many vehicles I owned ( mostly all new)
Granted Aptera is special/exciting!
But I hear ya! A long year of uncertainty so ....we are all
chomping at the bit !
