    I just wanted to commend Aptera on the hire of Kayleigh Venne. Really appreciate her timely Aptera responses on numerous threads. It keeps the threads real and reduces incorrect speculation on the part of the community. Thanks to Aptera and Kayleigh!

    Yes, a very big shout out for all Team Aptera, especially the ladies Kayleigh, Audra and Sarah, helping us start the Aptera Embajadores for Spanish speakers. Please let me know if you would like to be an Embajador. ¡Vuela sin alas con Aptera!

    I am grateful not merely for hiring personnel to support the forum and the large swath of reservation holders, but for Kayleigh herself communicating with us on a regular basis. I’m sure there are many things the marketing department could find for her to do OTHER than actively visit the forums and address significant questions with informed responses. Go Aptera!

    Hi Heidi and all! Aw, seeing this forum post made my day. Thank you very much, Heidi, I really appreciate this shout out.

    It’s my pleasure to pop into the forum to communicate with all of you Aptera Members, to answer questions, and to clarify anything I can about the solar electric dream machine! The support from each of you is integral to propel this solar revolution forward, so Aptera thanks YOU.

    I am so grateful to be on the Aptera Team (surrounded by such brilliant colleagues all around!) and to be a part of this curious and innovative community with you all! Keep those ideas, questions, and comments coming.

    Happy Monday!

    Alright, it’s time that I get back to work now! 😉

    Although we’re most familiar with the women who work in Aptera’s “front office” – several of whom interface with us in the Forum – there are a significant number of female engineers working to bring the actual vehicles to fruition! https://aptera.us/the-women-leading-our-solar-revolution

    Thanks to the women of Aptera and to all women on this international day for women’s recognition for their contributions to improving life for everyone 👍

    Special thanks to 1LT Mary Wolf for being the only medevac pilot with the guts to pull me and my gunner out of a hot LZ after being shot down. Without you I wouldn’t be around today

    As a guy who grew up with three sisters (no brothers) Had two daughters and no sons, I can say I’ve never looked at women with a prejudicial eye. It allowed me to understand my emotions yet still be a guy who got dirty, worked on cars, farmed, managed, built houses and joined the service, It also helped me explain to many a man why they felt the way they did when coming from hard nosed fathers (our past generations)

    I’ve always told my daughters they could be whatever they wanted as long as they put in the education and hard work it took to get those positions.

    One became the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense and retired from service on a medical discharge after getting an ankle crushed while deployed. But she cleans up like the best of them. My other daughter is a working housewife who works because she wants to and not because she has to. When I ask her why she stated, “It sets a good example for Taylor” (her daughter) So I work different jobs to show and explain to her what the experience is like and what to expect in the future. She’s also a woman but she’ll knock your teeth out if pushed to far. lol (Must be that daddy training)

    As with all things you have got to strive for the next level in order to advance, push yourself and experience failures in order to succeed regardless of race or gender. Don’t expect allowances or silver spoon feedings and you’ll be able to claim every victory that is yours.

    I have four daughters. I am proud of them and their accomplishments. I appreciate Aptera putting the spotlight on the women contributing to the creation of such an amazing vehicle.
