Aptera has been very quiet since participating (but not finishing) in the Progressive Automotive X-Prize competition. After a very promising early start, and lots of great media coverage, Aptera went through a management shake-up, and now appears to be starving slowly. Without government loans to develop their product, or a large angel investor to come in and rescue them, they seem to be adrift.
You know it is bad when the fans, some of whom have put down actual deposits, are losing faith. Look at this poll on the unofficial Aptera forums. As of now the 68% of the responses say that they don't think they will ever get their car.
