RIVIAN is also next to go as GUEST on the TESLA SUPERCHARGER system nationwide sometime in the Month of March. Following Ford…

Since this is an Election year, maybe it is time for Aptera to start another Petition to get Aptera added to the IRA bill so the vehicle gets at least 1/2 of the Tax credit. As we all recall, our 42,000 signatures were heard and acted upon. I , along with many ppl on this Forum did not think we had a chance of making the NACS plug the US standard. Boy was it Great to be pleasantly SUPRISED in THAT case. NACS appears to have gone Global. Who knows, maybe there is enough time to get Aptera noticed and INCLUDED in the governments policies/plans. @Chris Anthony…..Can you make Lightning strike TWICE ?

this is 13 years old…….im SURE the current PI build has very little in common with the Aptera 13 years ago. no hub motors……

i pre-ordered one to express interest for use in AZ as a grocery-getter / golf cart. not sure how one accesses golf clubs in this unit. but its fast enough for my parents as they are in their 80’s. doors w/ a/c please. could be popular at golf courses if done right. anywhere else in the states, it make zero sense. the pre-order cost $0 and is non-binding. i bet we never see it. cheaper than a gem and less ugly than 99 % of golf carts.

Thanks for sharing Sam. Maybe they think you are the Electric Viking and want to be featured more prominently on his YT channel…lol

How can you put a Price on something that doesn’t exsist ? im comfortable waiting until the vehicles START moving out the door BEFORE pricing numbers are assigned. The longer they wait the better. Let them FOCUS on getting the vehicle out. we’ve waited this long what’s another 6 months. They are the ones that have these tough decisions to make. Thank You for stating your OPINION. it is THAT and nothing more. The LAST thing Aptera wants to do is pull a Rivian and jack the price up on the 45,000 people that expressed interest and LIKELY INVESTED money into this startup. Aptera is different than any other car manufacturer because they have CROWDFUNDED this whole adventure and are living hand to mouth compared to ANYONE. So, relax. Take a break if this operation is too stressful for you. There is NO WAY Aptera survives the court of public (Reservationist) opinion or ever even makes it to IPO if the vehicle goes up 20 % in Price. Again RELAX. This group has given us an unpresidented view of their world. Let them do their thing. If the vehicle is too expensive for you than i guess Aptera isn’t for you. If its Priced improperly none of us will buy one. THEY KNOW THIS !!! This is my OPINION…….

im expecting after the LE cars are done they add the other 2 Exterior colors AND the other 2 Interior trims FIRST. i understand the 250 mile option seems easy as it is only a de-population of cells BUT alot of testing will have to happen than just adding different Trims levels into the vehicle WONT need. i guess time will tell….This step would also fall in line with producing the Paradigm model but i think Paradigm + may be awhile as that is the 1000 mile Battery version. Again, wait and see….

Voted !

Cant wait to see what the Delta vehicle hits as far as specs and safety. Looking forward to owning and driving a truly efficient vehicle and seeing just how much energy can be drawn from the Arizona sun.

C’mon Apterans, send Chris A. and Aptera to SXSW !

the youth are drawn to Austin, TX especially this event…..My nephew is a musician in MI and goes every year now that he’s old enough. i think this a good marketing move. maybe hitting all of the Major SW music festivals in general is a good idea. i can think of 4 or 5 in AZ and CA alone. 😎

All across Social Media and email i am seeing this change.

• To enable more trailblazers to join the program and continue to change the world through solar mobility, we will continue to accept investments beyond the original deadline of March 26, 2023.
• Now anyone who invests $10,000 or more will join us as an Aptera Accelerator and be one of the first 2,000 people to take delivery of their very own Aptera.
• The cap remains at 2,000 slots ranked by investment amount, but now anyone who has invested $10,000 or more on or after January 27th, 2023 will be guaranteed priority delivery of their vehicle. Don’t miss out! There are less than 1,500 spots left.

CA stated to a potential investor in St. Moritz -Video #4 on (AOC channel on YT) that they currently have 41,000 pre-orders and that cars could still be produced by early 2024 if they get funded before END of MARCH 23′.

i really hope Kayleigh Venne (Aptera) weighs in on this at some point as i see confusion on Social Media and here as to when the AWD drive versions become available from Aptera. ( i.e. right away w/ Paradigm or X # of Vehicles out the Factory door.) Mine is > #10,000 so im not worried about needing to choose with little info about the Vehicle. for now, i have the 400 mile, 2WD selected as that is good enough per Aptera. it really depends on how the Vehicle Drive Systems are integrated / configured by Aptera. We just wont know until units are being Delivered and Reviewed by OWNERS / Youtubers. Really appreciate Aptera being upfront with what they know to the Public. The Right to Repair feature hopefully makes this less of an issue for someone that chooses the “WRONG” configuration for them. Glad to see the Factory coming ALIVE. The Final Stretch will be exciting to watch. id be very PLEASED to see Aptera DELIVER to ~50 Customers this year. The MORE time that goes on the less i think we will be sold these vehicles at the ORIGINAL PRICING.

LET’S GO APTERA !

P.S. Still waiting for a 2022 (bone stock) Hybrid Ford Maverick XL i ordered back in Sept.

Curtis, et al.

the iMX8 board can do HMDI but the are three versions of the iMX8. So, ultimately it comes down to the Designer at Aptera and which Family of Boards Aptera goes with. there are 3 Families of boards in this Series alone. Since i dont know EXACTLY what is going into the vehicle we will have to wait and see. like i said before, they went with a very scalable system. so, ultimately the End User will have flexibility right up to the point of Aptera locking down the Hardware and the Deeper portions of the Software. Good News as far as im concerned….
