Good question, I guess you would have to ask Aptera that, since the panels are their production. Which country are you from?

When do you think that will be?

@@electric-madness15 They've got a serious haul to ship in '26, but if any new group can do it, I am betting on these guys. I think we'll be able to get a good read on it by the end of '25. By then, if they have a manufacturing path including confidence that their content/BOM is executable with key vendors who have had some serious time with their respective components, that would be a huge confidence builder. The most critical thing is to get files to vendors as soon as they believe they've got a manufacturable package, and get an understanding as to tooling and reproductive costs. They will need substantial additional funding. The key to getting that is instilling confidence that "they've got this". Which is exactly what Aptera has not done, hence the lack of skilled investment aka "game over". Ditto for Archimoto, who at one point circa IPO was considered to have a billion dollar evaluation. Which is now negative because they did not have a handle on reproductive costs.

​@electric-madness15 Telo said they will start delivering trucks to customers in early 2026.

@electric-madness15 Two months ago there was a video on the Telo Trucks UA-cam channel (link below) about the first chassis going to final assembly. Telo puts out a video every few weeks to keep anyone interested updated on their company. ua-cam.com/video/_ZHQtYwI8lM/v-deo.htmlsi=CSuxiWJBBOo6BPuu

Okay, good point. Tell me what better panel sources are you thinking?

Actually, you would know better than I on suitable vendors. The Canadians offer a serious number of options for boats, an environment that’s harsh as hell, and many of the carbon fiber substrate products are self-supporting. Keypoints: Aptera is not set up to viably manufacture an OEM solar product. To be appropriate in all respects, such as mounting, interface, durability, cost, ability to deliver to a schedule, these are all things Aptera has yet to demonstrate. They just attended a major show, CES, and didn’t have glass roof and deck lid solar ON THEIR OWN VEHICLE! I am not saying “Here’s the best solar panel vendor for Telo”, I am saying “Telo needs proven vendors and if they offer solar, Aptera isn’t a proven vendor”.

Good point, I see you know your stuff 👍
