It seems that most people here have a short-sighted view of what the company is trying to do. By incentivizing people to invest $10K or more they will get the money they need to begin production sooner rather than later. Sure, some people may jump ahead of the line, but the point is to get production started sooner moving EVERYONE up!

Anyone know how the leaderboard placement works?
We were at 93 now at 104 but not seeing more than 2 who gkk ok t in for more nor anyone ahead of us time wise

I don’t believe the LB totals are an exact number. I also have had what appeared to be discrepancies, but it seems to even out at the end of a day or two. Some of the investments may not reflect on the LB until funds have cleared, but possibly the head count gets added.
Also, previous investors may be adding to their totals in smaller amounts that may not reflect in the general total of the LB. Sometimes purchasing just a few shares may bump the guy ahead of you and it may not reflect on the LB totals.

Remember that the date on the leaderboard is the date of the first accelerator deposit. If someone is adding funds every month, then they will be climbing the board, but the date does not change.

I have heard it said several times from Steve Lee (AOC), Jason Hill and Chris Anthony that the first 2,000 vehicles produced through the Accelerator program will carry a premium value. I think one of them even used the words “extremely valuable”. Can someone explain to me how that is? I would be interested in hearing how much more valuable than the purchase price you think it could be (if at all) and why. Thanks.

1st and foremost, that is all speculation. No one will be able to tell you that your position on the Leader Board has an exact value. We are all betting that the APTERA will have a significant gain in value, the reality is that if and when the vehicles will be produced much of this speculation will be based on demand once the product has been seen out on the road and magazine coverage by the general public. We also need to remember that the APTERA is a 3 wheeled vehicle, most of the public will have a hard time wrapping their heads around that fact.
The consensus for those who follow APTERA are convinced that it may end up being a modern day version of VW Bug. Our followers are very passionate, me included. So yes, the value of the 1st 2000 APTERA may be greater. My bet is that the 1st 200 or so may be more marketable from an investment stand point…especially 1-10. Not sure how many people who invested to be on the Leader Board are doing so to resell their vehicle or position? I do know that there are a handful that have placed more that 1 deposit to get in line for multiple purchases. Again you can include myself with 3. For many of us it’s a bit of a gamble but a risk well worth it just to try and get the vehicle into production for all to enjoy and the possibility to also benefit financially.

So, let’s say I have position #10 on the Leaderboard. Will my vehicle be more valuable because I can flip it at a profit right away or will it be more valuable because as the 10th car produced it will therefor have a higher resale value 20 years from now? I’m just trying to decide whether or not to get in line for one of the first 2000. Yes, I realize this is all speculation but I was just wondering what the logic was. If and when I actually get my hands on one I can’t imagine turning around and selling it.

I would heavily value the sale of the 10th vehicle made as a flip. Long term…no one knows what the market will be. Early stage between the hype and limited numbers of APTERA on the road would bring you the quickest bang for the buck. Again, these are my own speculations and are not any particular formula you can follow. By the way, the number 10 slot at the moment is at $210,000. AGAIN….it’s all speculation!

The only vehicle that may be inherently more valuable will be VIN 0001. The launch edition is simply one of those “special edition” gimmicks used by every auto manufacturer nowadays, very few hold there value compared to the regular models especially if they’ve been driven.

If a vehicle is to become a “desired collectable”… it is likely to only have two doors and two seats.
Aptera checks this box
How many of todays EVs only have two doors and two seats? Tesla Roadster comes to mind.
