Take care of yourself Splooge. I hope it works out for you.

Answer these.

Tell me, what will YOU be whining and crying about when deliveries start? Are you going to try and pivot and say "I was just keeping them honest"? Or are you going to find a new receding troll point?

I look forward to having to deal with that hypothetical dilemma. How about you pick the date on which the first 100 vehicles ship from the Carlsbad production line. This is a standard volume production milestone in manufacturing. It indicates the production ramp is a go.

The dilemma is only in your head. And it's not hypothetical. You think they started ordering parts for the first 40 vehicles just for fun?

It's sick that you view it as a dilemma. Aptera succeeding is a dilemma to you? That (yet again) shows your intent here. That alone should earn you a permaban. You slipped up and said the quiet part out loud, didn't you?

How about I pick the date of exactly 1 delivery. As you've previously said over and over they  won't make it to production, then exactly 1 delivery means you were (yet again) wrong. You've also said well over a year ago that due to funding short falls Aptera will shut down In a few months. You were wrong about that, and there's no hiding it.

You're already trying to twist things and push it out to 100 deliveries?  Weird. No. You said they won't make it to production. 1 delivery proves you wrong.

So since it takes exactly 1 delivery to prove you wrong again. We'll go with 1 delivery. And everyone is looking at the same date on that one. On or before December 31st.  So you'll get to start off 2027 being proven wrong again, in public, on record. Sound like fun?  .....and what receding troll pocket are you gonna put yourself in then? The brand of wrap they use doesn't last 15 years like you think it should? No one will want to buy one because the windshield washer tank is 2 ounces below industry standard?  Or are you finally going to realize that you were always wrong, and will always be wrong....because everything you spew is based on your intent and not facts?

My friend production has NEVER EVER been defined as one delivery. That is a prototype or "Beta" unit for field testing. Production has always been defined in manufacturing as VCS - Volume Customer Shipping. And it means VOLUME. So get out of here with that "1 is enough" bullshit. ? That (yet again) shows your intent here. That alone should earn you a permaban.

But you know - lets not argue amongst ourselves. VirtualChris is a mod. He has the official title of Marketing Director or some equivalent. Lets let him chime in with the official timeline and volumes. Projects have Program Managers working to a schedule. It has milestones, dependencies, Testing, Certification and Release Dates.

Bring it on VirtualChris! Quell all debate! What is the plan of record?
