This was recorded some time ago. At the time the LE price was listed on the website at $30,700. As CES opened this week they released a new website (same address) including new pricing... $40k for the LE. (The price has never been guaranteed and had not changed since first announce in 2021 (or earlier)).
Amazing. I looked into Aptera. Looks like ultra high efficiency and solar assist are the future direction of EV design. I now have one reserved. Can't wait.
Yeah no, LE pricing is at around 40k. Which makes sense for the first vehicle to be honest, once they get orders coming through and the factory and supply chain up and running, the economies of scale will start kicking in and they'll be able to start paying off their investments. Then they can refine the design, make it cheaper and more economical and come in with the lower pricing. Plus, launch edition Apterae will likely skyrocket in value once the brand starts to get more recognition, because you know that car collectors like Jay Leno are gonna do whatever they can to get their hands on the first-ever mass-produced solar electric vehicle, and the aftermarket price will reflect that.
The video was just posted, but I'm guessing it's a clip from an older video and that the whole thing is a bit dated. The $40k price is the newer price. Personally I hate it when people post old information. They want the views but don't want to do the work.
It’s already been tested with NASA’s fluid dynamics and wind tunnel tested in Italy. The shape is the most aerodynamic it can be. Changing parameters would increase drag.

Interesting...$30.700 in the thumbnail... Not what I heard...So very curious where this came from...
You are right 30.7 must be the new base price .. lunch edition is 38k I think
Or if somebody's arse
What an amazing car. I want one!!!
its a motorcycle, not a car.

Please hurry up and bring these to Australia. I know we have different regulations but it can be done.
No, it cannot be done. Unless you are able to change your legislation.
Hurry up😊 i m in downtown phx in the cube
Don't get too excited if you didn't reserve one probably going to have to wait two years until your can drive one.
So, a little over $30k or the $40k listed on Aptera's website??
This is from an interview much earlier. The $40k is correct.
The video was just posted, but I'm guessing it's a clip from an older video and that the whole thing is a bit dated. The $40k price is the newer price. Personally I hate it when people post old information. They want the views but don't want to do the work.
Info is a bit dated. They revealed the $40k sticker price at CES, for the LE
I want one!
Why cant future buyers pay upfront and finance the production ?? I would
How come 40x365=14,400 miles/yr but then he said 11,000 miles/yr?
Estimated Solar gained free miles per year in places like southern California.
@justinw1765 He said both referring to southern California
They’re going to test ranges after CES with a production equipped vehicle and solar cells. Currently the range is estimated based on the math.
40k*
Its going to be 45 to 50k launch edition
30k is way too low hahaha
Neither a tested and production ready prototype exist, no prduction exists, no 400 Mile version exists. Just empty promises, as usual.
Make it 6' wide and lower the cargo area load in height.
That would make it a different vehicle.
It’s already been tested with NASA’s fluid dynamics and wind tunnel tested in Italy. The shape is the most aerodynamic it can be. Changing parameters would increase drag.
The Aptera 2 was smaller. But they had to limit top speed to 80mph because of stability problems.
