Deadline on changing order?

[len]

IMHO

I suppose to can try to start a conversation through info@aptera.us but YES…too much to be validated to make the final decision which is not due until our reservation morph or orders

Like with any EV ( although Aptera has a super efficient edge….) Speed, added weight of batteries and AWD, heating/ cooling all factor into range.

60kWh is my sweet spot too, but each have their own needs. I choose all options too …but will see how things pan out

Exciting times ahead?!

hello,

there is a site called ‘motormatchup.com’ where you can check ev efficiency (based on specs) you can “build” your current order and compare it to the 60 kw and adjust weight, speed, elevation, temperature, etc. and get the range specs for comparison.

This site is frequently identified in this forum. The caution is that the Aptera specs are not representative of production performance or perhaps not completely accurate for the engineering based projections.

You will be able to adjust your reservation as often as you wish until you are contacted to place an order. I am sure you will have plenty of time to gather performance data as it is released now through the final specs on production models. I am sure the person that contacts you can answer any additional questions you have at that time. Once the order is placed, there will not be a chance to change it as it will go as a spec for a delivery vehicle to the production team.

I believe that most reservation holders have a good idea of what they want in their Aptera even at this early stage. I have not change my two reservations since placing them.

@Laura Batchelor – Although Aptera has no sales team at this time if other online vehicle sales models are any reference, there will probably be an “advisor” with whom you can speak if need be when your pre-order number comes up.

As with any custom order (like furniture, for example) I think it’s safe to assume that we’ll be asked for a significant deposit (either a flat fee or a percentage of the order price) to confirm the order when they’re ready to build your vehicle. It is most likely that – at that time – your order will be finalized. In other words, any “deadlines” will be specific to your order and not set to a random calendar date.

As I recall, when Tesla launched the Model 3 they asked for an initial reservation deposit and then a second deposit when production began to finalize the order. They then required full payment when the vehicle was soon to be built. But my memory of the event could be spotty…

I had made a couple of changes to our order as more info became available, but we are still debating the battery size. A LOT! 🙂 I was fairly sure that I’d be able to talk to the person finalizing the order but this is a whole new experience for me, so I wanted to make sure of how the purchasing process works. Thanks to everyone for their input. I feel better now…

There is no need to make any changes to your reservation now, you’ll have plenty of time to adjust it once they go into production. The reservation list is an expression of interest more than anything else right now. It gives them an idea of what features will be popular and what won’t which is why if you really think you might want the 1000 mile version then you should leave the order alone, it tells them that there customers who are interested in it. At some point they’ll publish a real delivery schedule along with the tradeoffs for each variant, when we have that then we will all be in a better position to make our final choices.
