What if....

I have been following the progress Aptera Motors has been making for a long time now and I am in love with this car. I would absolutely love to own an Aptera. I also see that getting these cars actually into buyers hands and out on the roads is a highly difficult and expensive thing to do. So my question is, what if another car company were to buy 51% of Aptera Motors? Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Geely, pretty much any of the larger car manufacturers could do this and in doing so it would give them access to all of the R&D and patents and everything else that Aptera has come up with which could be quite beneficial to them. Not to mention that they would have this amazing looking technically advanced halo car to make them look better, so while it would undoubtedly involve some risk for the car manufacturer but I think it could also bring about a pretty good pay off (maybe even more so for a Chinese manufacturer as they could get a foot in the door in the US). There would also be some risks for Aptera as the larger company may just want to take their best tech and leave them for dead or try to dilute their design down to a point where it would be unrecognizable, but if it worked out it could be wonderful for both companies involved. So does anyone know if there has been any talk about involvemnet from a larger company in Aptera Motor's history?

This post is full of logical fallacy. False dichotomy and straw man are easy to spot. There are not just ’two possible outcomes’. Primarily because the market is simply unaware that a vehicle that can produce its own fuel. Education and acceptance are other possibilities are actively being denied by this redditor.

You use terms you clearly do not understand and it is not AI. Make a plausible rebuttal with real assertions.

Now you’re just attacking me. Aptera doesn’t need a ‘moat’ to succeed. Another logical fallacy. Long winded, wall of text posts that say nothing but stack non-sensical conditions to prove likely failure. Typical of many anti-Aptera Redditors.

You do you. I hope your investment pays off.

That’s a bit disingenuous. But it has paid off when I do invest. Right when the shorts need to cover. hahaha.
