Accelerate Aptera Leaderboard

The program extension may have caused it but a lot of folks (compared to the trickle of previous days) ponied up yesterday:
-
Big daily jumps in slots/money:
-
Some reshuffling at the top:
-
It looks like we have at least several months before all the slots get filled. How will APTERA handle the closing of the program? Once we hit 1900 investors and we start closing in on the 2,000 mark. It may be important to set some guidelines or a deadline. Will there be a 24hr window for those who want to purchase more shares to change their position? For those who are looking to advance their que they may not have a chance to do so if the Leader Board suddenly reaches the 2,000 mark. Also in the event that 2 or 3 investors maybe purchasing the remaining 1 spot. Will the 2001st investor get shunned after making their investment? There will be many investors that will try and time their position, it makes it tough to do so when their isn’t a clock.
-
Something else to consider – what happens if one of the top 2000 Accelerators can’t or won’t follow through on the purchase? Perhaps a personal financial problem, or some other unforeseen difficulty that prevents him or her from sealing the deal. Will investor number 2001 get bumped up? Food for thought.
-
If I secure one of the first 2,000 reservation slots, can I transfer it to someone else?
Yes. You can transfer your reservation and slot to another individual. We will update the reservation slot’s delivery details (new customer contact information) and you will be responsible for any terms or agreements made with the person you are transferring it to.

One new entry at the top – the program extension seems to have had only a temporary uptick in the daily slots being allocated:
-
Extending the program is not going to get this thing across the finish line. Two months was plenty of time for people to decide if they wanted to invest and to raise the funds.
There are only two things that imo will get both the money raised and delivery slots filled. The first one is that Aptera announces they have the funding secured from one or more big investors. If this happens, and hopefully it will soon, that will remove the biggest concern people have, namely that the thing will never be built. And the money should flow in at that point.
The second thing that could jumpstart things is for Aptera to sweeten the deal somehow. Since the whole point of the program was to accelerate to production, I was expecting something along these lines to happen. I still believe that guaranteeing each Accelerator the current LE pricing would be something that could have a significant impact, as another major concern that people have expressed is what the thing is actually going to cost when the time comes. And in the grand scheme of things it’s a drop in the bucket cost wise to the company.
I’m hoping the reason they haven’t come out with any sweeteners is that they feel they are close to a big deal or deals to get the funds needed. This thing needs to get built, one way or the other. We need it, and the planet needs it.

KW from Germany moves into second place:

Has anybody else noticed that the counter at the top of the Aptera website has frozen at 1328 investors for the last day, when it should now be at 1308 according to the leaderboard at the time I am writing this reply?
-
Depends on how it is generated & the frequency of updates. It might even be a manual process.
-
It seemed to be updating pretty much in real time until yesterday.

Milestone – $10M reached.
The change in rules seems to have helped with the rate of investments. I was pretty sure that it’d reach $10M at the end of the month (the old finish date).
-
Personally my thoughts are if the original deadline were in place, you would have seen a greater influx of investment by this coming weekend. I’m just happy it seems to be plugging along at a consistent pace. 7 new investors a day will still take 185 or so more days. Hopefully the average will be better than 7 to shorten that timeline.
-
We are up to 10 so far for March 21 so that’s looking positive. Still lower than the average of 12.6 investors per day since the program started, but looking up…
-
Normally the pattern is a big spike at the start, then it goes quiet after a couple of weeks, and a smaller spike at the end. So it is good to see the ‘quiet’ phase is increasing to nearly the level of the initial spike.

Sizeable jump in slots sold yesterday from quite varied locations:
