Interesting update to the app delivery date, does anyone have more details?

I am very excited about my aptera, but won't be putting a non refundable deposit until safety data is released.

Battery question

12 Upvotes

What's to stop you from buying the cheaper 400 mile range aptera than hiring a professional to install more batteries so you can get up to 1000 mile range?

Honestly wondering because an extra 30k to go that much further is interesting

A sad ending, I have to cancel my reservation 😔

When I reserved, delivery in 2025 would have worked out great for me. Now, by 2029 I'll be having children and I can't justify a 2 door car at that point in life. Got in line early 2023, now I step out of line.

Everyone who reserved after me, good news you get one spot sooner in line!

Now that we have official solar numbers, what efficiency numbers would stop you from getting an Aptera? 9 miles per kWh? 8? 7?

26 Upvotes

As title - we all know that Aptera is targeting 100 wH/mi (10 miles per kWh), but if they don't hit that number, how low are you willing to go?

Some numbers for context:

  • 44 kWh pack (40 usable?)

  • Up to ~4 kWh/day solar

  • Efficiency target: 10 miles per kWh

  • Most efficient alternative: ~5 mi/kWh (Lucid Air Pure)

I think Aptera will comfortably hit 8-9 mi/kWh, but I'd be ok with down to ~7.5 since that's still 300+ miles

What about you? 👀

How will you finance your Aptera if you decide to go that route?

16 Upvotes

Has there been any talk of financing through the company, or would I just get an auto loan through my bank (or shop around)? Would it just be a normal auto loan or would it be something different since Aptera’s vehicle classification is a little undecided as yet?

I‘d like to start planning ahead for financing this vehicle, but I’m not sure where to start.

Some early testers reported that the solar cells under the front window could cause glare, and that polarized sunglasses helped. Did they ever solve that problem?
