I would like to be able to since it is supposed to be a vehicle you can pass down have a way or even if it would be done OTA by the factory…a way to limit the acceleration and speed of the vehicle for when it is time to pass it down I don’t want to give my son 4 years from now something that can go 0-60 in 3.5 sec.
-
The Aero paint film and drive by wire.
-
I would like the option of selecting the backing color of the solar panels. the $1,500 to select a custom wrap is overpriced and this customization would make it more worth the price.
My concern is that aptera may be unable to perfectly align the solar cells so picking anything other than black will make the misaligned cells stand out.
It would also be nice if people who want a little more light in cargo area can have the rear hatch have no color and be completely clear allowing plenty of sun in.

I will have to drive (slowly) in small streets among pedestrians very used to abuse (their right of use the street).
If pedestrians hear a horse coming behind them, they will have the reflex to move away.
( If a car is absolutely silent when it moves, then shit happens. )
So I need a button that will generate that sound outside (accorded to my speed, kiticlop, kataklop’, dratakla’ …)🐴
Easy, no ?

I would like the option of just buying an empty Aptera husk. Just bare composite body, wheels, batteries, and all the drive-train, but only a Styrofoam temporary driver seat. Just the cheapest unfinished empty canvas to build upon myself.

– 3 physical buttons on steering wheel for choise of re-gen 0%(free roll downhill) – 50% – 100% ,
– external kit of small speakers on the headset of seats with bluetooth/wifi ,
– rear air suspension without compressor (hand pump only) ,
– front height adjust wheel covers by road condition and speed of the vehicle !!!

1) A starlight ceiling or an easy possibility to add it later on.
Would you sell a ceiling separately so I can try it before tearing up my new car?
2) Cosy interior lighting with fiber optics is appropriate for an aptera. -
1) Android Auto / Apple Car Play support
2) Wireless charing
3) Side-Airbags
4) Second charge port at the front
5) Bidirectional power transfer
6) Third seat
7) More physical buttons 😉

Heated steering and heated seats are a must. Be nice if they defaulted to on when bootup while interior temp was below freezing.
HEPA cabin filtration would be nice.
A third seat would be popular.
Scheduled preheat on workdays would be nice. A lot of evs have poor 12v battery implementations that fail. I hope the 12v subsystems have a battery that will last.

Way to follow up on your post. Truly shows the diversity of APTERA res holders wants. Hopefully some of the better ideas will be filtered and applied to future iterations. Maybe some of these ideas could also be available with the earliest production.

I would like to see speed and estimated miles remaining on the side camera screens. If not a 3rd seat, then I would like to see anchors for a child seat.
Other than that, I just want it to be built in the first place and be reliable and well made, so it lasts a long time.
-
Built it ASAP and get it to market. There are those of us that will always want to add or modify – the tinkerer in us. Basic needs are drivability, range and efficient solar charging so I might make it out of the driveway in the soggy NW.
-
A LED display somewhere at the back that lits up during a charge showing how much miles we did with the previous charge. Maybe a marquee.
Do you see this car somewhere on a charger showing this! What a marketing item and makes the old petrol heads mad.
-
I keep forgetting this thing is a two seat motorcycle! The 400 mile Aptera is priced the same as a 160 mile Harley LiveWire. Plus it’s way more luxurious than any motorcycle I’ve ever seen. Any options above what it already has would just be overkill 🙂
-
Knight Rider KIT light +1!
It would be super cool to have that implemented in the central front light. Now that the front logo is gone, that would add to the special character of the Aptera.Knight Rider KIT light +1!

+1 for heated steering, heated seats, and Apple CarPlay. I realize these draw power and compromise range but, as excited as I am about Aptera, not having these could be dealbreakers for me
-
Actual cup holders. I know they said that people will be provided with any specs they needed to do custom pieces, such as for the center console area, but that netting looks so bad, imo. They showed a large thermos being put into it and it did not look stable at all.
Would also swap that sleeve in front of the net cup holder for more of a tray/basket area, with wireless charging.
I’m also crossing my fingers that Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are options with the stereo unit. Those seem pretty standard in most vehicles these days, but AFAIK, no mention of them has been made.
-
Lots of great ideas on this thread. Sounds like there’s consensus around keeping the vehicle on schedule – I certainly agree with that. Here are a few things I like about my Nissan Leaf and Tesla Y.
Leaf: (1) blind-spot indicator – more intuitive and works better, (2) adaptive cruise control (no phantom braking), and (3) softer suspension – more comfortable ride.
Tesla Y: (1) adjustable seats and steering wheel, (2) bluetooth key – walk away door locks, (3) software updates, (4) App integration, and (5) accelleration!
-
Fully adjustable seats and headrests that promote good posture! I find many new cars have seats that force me to be hunched forward rather than allow me to arch back. The stupid headrests in my 2012 Prius C are canted so far forward that I turned them around because I was getting a crick in my neck from being able to sit up straight.
A minor thing, but worth noting is a place to mount the front license plate in states that require it. Hopefully something that won’t disrupt the aerodynamics!
-
Id like a plug in outlet inside so during camp mode I could have my cpap plugged in
-
Been mentioned before, but a receiver hitch would be nice. I don’t do any towing, but I have a bike rack that I often use.
-
With the Delta right around the corner(supposedly) I want to see a final spec sheet so I know what I’ve actually reserved. If Delta really is the production intent vehicle then Aptera should have finalized hardware/software going into the vehicle.
-
One thing I am most interested in is establishing a viable program and pathway towards upgrading components and systems which may not be part of the early versions of Aptera but that are present by the time the company enters broad production. By that I mean that if something is introduced after the initial rollout phase such as heated seats as standard or a substantially more efficient heating/cooling system there should be a program in place where early adopters are not left with substandard capabilities by comparison. This should include the ability to acquire updated components at a reasonable cost, as well as a means to return ship replaced/unnecessary components, possibly for a cost offset similar to a core charge one would pay for parts at an automotive store.
I get that right to repair means that I could source and implement my own solutions for options that may not be available through Aptera at the time of purchase but bodging together a COTS solution would be inferior in most respects to something designed from the outset to be integrated into Aptera.
-
The original Volkswagen Beetle is a good example. There was a great deal of interchangeability over its 60+ year production run.

Compatible with Tesla Supercharger network.
