Referral incentives

[Steve Lee]

it’s $1000 per referral. This is a referral that completes purchase, not a referral that just reserves correct?

[Raj Giandeep]

Correct, must purchase Aptera to get credit. Which makes sense.

What if the referred person purchases after one has made one’s own purchase?

[Oz (It’s Oz, just Oz)]

That’s pretty much what you would have to expect, the credit is then for a future additional purchase.

Unless, perhaps, you’re financing through Aptera and they take it off your contract…

[Oz (It’s Oz, just Oz)]

I wouldn’t bet any money on that possibility at all.

[Fanfare 100]

Hey, realistically speaking, I’m not a car dealership and I truly don’t need more than one Aptera, so $1K off a future Aptera, how is it going to serve people like most of us? If it is not on the current purchase, then it’s pretty much a fictitious number for most people. This must apply to the current vehicle, otherwise it would make no sense. It’s not like most people saving up for their Aptera are planning on having a fleet of vehicles. lol

Well I suppose if you want to put off taking delivery of your Aptera until your referrals pay for theirs, you could make that work, than you wouldn’t have more than one.

From Aptera referral info: Additional terms and conditions apply.

“When do I redeem my points?

Each Aptera Point is worth a $1,000 credit towards the cost of your vehicle. These points are tracked in our system and will be discounted from the purchase price of your Aptera when you take delivery. Your friends must complete payment in full for their vehicles in order to receive the $1,000 credit.”

Greetings, might we get an official response to this question from Aptera Motors. Because it is only logical that anyone using the referral code will end up placing their order after the order we ourselves have placed. It’s even possible they will have placed their order even significantly after our own vehicles have been delivered.

Anyone from Aptera, please help clarify. And not all of us aspire to have fleets of Apterae, but we would like to get the word out and appreciatively participate in the referral program. Thanks.

As I drive my new Aptera and people ask me about it I would like to refer them to the company and earn credit for it. To give out that referral code would be difficult. Will there be another way? Maybe a printout I carry in the car and they can scan it with their smart phone… assuming they have one.

Randy, here’s a link to a Reddit page (That also refers to a FaceBook post.) with information on how to create a printable code https://www.reddit.com/r/ApteraMotors/comments/p3i1a8/generating_qr_codes_for_your_referals_copied_from/

[Randy J]

thank you Ozman. I’ve made and saved it for when I am approached by the hoards loving my ride.

[Steve Lee]

Sarah or someone from Aptera, can someone clarify how the credits would work? Would there be a refund of $1000 per referral since all of us will have already bought the vehicle and paid for it. Or would it only be useful for a future Aptera purchase so we would need to buy TWO Apteras to get any value out of our referrals?

[Sarah]

Hi Steve, I’ll check with our team and get back to you as soon as possible with more information. Thank you!

Ever get an answer Steve?

[Laura Batchelor]

Yep – totally confused how I will get a credit after paying for my car, from someone who will be behind me in the line to purchase theirs…

[Michael Lee]

This is a huge caveat. At least it seems like the credit you earn can be used for add-ons and upgrades.

From the program FAQ:

Can I keep earning more points?
Yes! While our program is active, you can keep earning points and additional discounts towards more add-ons and upgrades (or even another Aptera!)

[Steve Lee]

No answer as of yet

[Laura Batchelor]

So – is the referral incentive program only for pre-production orders, or will it continue after the vehicles are being produced? I want to stick a QRC code on the back of mine and put up a little sign on the back when in in parking lots saying something like “YES, IT’S A SOLAR CAR! Scan this code for more info” for onlookers if I can earn credits toward a second Aptera down the line. If I can’t get referral credits, I will just answer questions but not get into advertising it. (I’m not naturally inclined to be a sales person.)

[Gabriel Kemeny]

The referral system will likely be in place for some time after production starts but will likely be phased out eventually.

[Randy J]

Laura, that is something I’ve asked about on FB before. I’d place the QR code with the blurb inside one of my windows and hope for a rebate or even shares in the company stock.
