    Yeah but I bought a used model 3 a couple years ago and I really like it :( I don’t want one nazi asshole to ruin it for me but it’s a losing battle. I reserved an Aptera 2 or 3 years ago and I was hoping to not get another car until that’s ready.

      2 days late, but I too have spent the last 7 years being ready for Aptera to start delivery late next year.

            Nice. Which version did you reserve? I’d like to go all out and get the 100kWh battery but I’m reluctant to do so since I think 60kWh would be plenty and it’s a $10k difference.

              100kWh batt, full solar package, no self driving.

              I don’t need 1000 miles of range, but the battery is the only part of an EV that really degrades with usage, so I see the excessively large battery as an insurance policy against the car aging. I’d like for the Aptera to be the last car I ever buy.
