How about a sun shade as an Aptera Accessory? Would love to see one that doesn't cover the dash but more or less fastens to the front part of the dash and up to the roof blocking the sun. We have 100 degree days in west Texas so sun shades are a must but I don't want to block off the dash from absorbing energy. Hell why you're at it, incorporate some solar panels in the shade and a small plug-in on the dash to capture more energy. Aptera make it so! 😁
I talk about Aptera every chance I get and people in Huntsville guess the same price range and are floored when I tell them less than $40k! Efficiency is awesome!
Come on aptera! Your design is great, everybody loves the car!, there are plenty of people who want to but it. I’m a reservation holder for several years now, why does it take so long!
@@adimchionyenadum2962 Because it seems that every single time they do these random demos people go nuts about and seem truly interested in the car. *It will sell itself if people know about it.*
Please do a tour in all the hot spot states where all the reservations are so we can see it. I’m an accelerated reservation holder in Texas. I think there are a few of us here.
I've followed Aptera for many years and I still think their cardinal sin will be taking so many years to come to market. I believe they originally targeted a $25k price point when EVs were all $50k+, now they are moving to $35k when big brands like Kia are bringing their fantastic EV3 to market for the same $35k makes the Aptera a hard sell. We saw what happened to Fisker Ocean buyers, and without a significant financial price advantage to the Aptera, I don't see many taking the risk. And if their autocycle vehicle classification were to exclude them from the $7500 EV tax credit, you can forget about it.
With so many millions losing power much to frequently, during hurricanes, snow blizzards, etc. I don't trust EV's! Solar seems more dependable to me!!! I hope Aptera will soon be available!!!
Glad to see the excitement in these! Please, please, please show this vehicle to my driveway! (We're super excited to be driving on sun juice from the sky... as opposed to the buried sun juice our current car runs on.)
Please PLEASE bring one of the prototypes to Electrify Expo in Austin this November! Or any of the future EE stops! More people outside CA need to see this in-person
I am on the pre order list... but I wish we could change 2 things... a real steering wheel (round, not a yoke), and a smaller central screen (less distracting).
Still wish you would have come to the Phoenix electrify expo earlier this year. Any plans to bring the solar car to the valley of the sun in the near future?
Hey, news flash, Aptera would not even bring the Gamma to Vancouver for that show. And its far closer than Phoenix. The 'why' is an unknown, but Aptera HQ seems quite shy of publick outings
good to see that regular people also recognise how amazing aptera is. i was honestly worried that itll just appeal to nerds like me when the time comes.
Hey Aptera, Gamma had a working glass-topped (presumably) solar hood panel when, late last month, Steve Fambro did his little showing of the solar power output thing yet in this video it doesn't look like the solar hood panel is attached. What gives? Last time a solar hood panel was removed from Gamma it was because of severe delamination issues.
This is the only EV I’ve ever been interested in because I don’t have a garage to charge a car. Unfortunately I live in the hood so it’ll probably get graffitid on
Easy answer, fly to Carlsbad and drive the Aptera to Texas. This writer plans to ddrive his to New England-IF- they get the kopecks needed to build it!
Fun video! Glad to hear that Aptera is still aiming for mid-30s for the LE (with the usual caveats, I’m sure). The only bummer for someone new to Aptera who wants one - how long the line is in front of them! Can’t wait for mine! …But I am, patiently! 💚💚💚
HaHaHAHa,, Mid thirties...By the time all the RE-engineering is done on the Drivetrain, Suspension, and everything else now that they have gone to a motor pack IN the Body, you'll be lucky if you can get one for the mid 50s, that is IF they re-do all the engineering tests they have already done with the In Wheel Hub Motors. Otherwise, Danger, Danger Will Robinson !
All that’s been done already. That’s why Beta was in Italy. And mid-30s is still their target. Sure, no guarantees, but I’d trust them well before I’d trust an outside observer.
@@andrewmclean1239 are you an Aussie who has ordered an Aptera and is going to privately import it? How will you go with after sales support here? This car would be great to see here in Qld.
yes. As an ambassador I should be taking delivery earlier. I’ll just import privately. We have generous laws for eco friendly vehicles. I’ll be working to get them imported and even a factory here.
How will the component that extends the room of the trunk when the seats are up against the dash look like? Please advise if this is something that is still being built into the vehicle, it looks like you can get almost another 2-3 feet of room if you wanted to lay down in there.
I am excited about Aptera progress and that the vehicle will come out next year. I would like to know and I have emailed with no response. Did any get an answer to this question- If you are in the Accelerator Program and you want AWD hub motors will that still be made and are we first in line still than general orders? I would like to know what the time line will be for AWD now that you are making the electric motor with the EMR3, which is fine and understandable. Please Aptera let us know. Thank you.
I'm predicting they wont make any vehicles for sale, seems they are incapable of doing it, though if they worked hard and didn't depend on using other peoples money the outcomes might be alot different.
By the time they get production started the Chinese will have copied it and have them already on the road. This has been in preproduction for too long. Plus they keep making changes to drive prices down and the price still keeps going up.
Preorder your very own Aptera at aptera.us ! 💚

No, I won´t, cause I already did that about 2 Years ago ;) . Can´t wait to get mine, Go Aptera!
Maybe halt the preordering and actually start producing the vehicle.
@@Okurka. What would you do next if you were Aptera?
@@ronfarnsworth7074 Start producing the vehicle.
When they guessed $80k, I would have said, "Oh, you want two?" 😂
No one guesses that an autocycle costs $80k when you can have a Tesla Model 3 for $44k.
That's what happens when you ask a Californian questions, dumb answers !
@@Okurka. Sure they do. It looks exotic and high tech, and Jeep Rubicons with nothing remarkable about them cost $80k.
They guessed 80k+ because it looks that good
@@RealBLAlley You can't compare an autocycle that doesn't have to follow car safety standards with an actual car.
Awesome video! So interesting to see people guess so high on the pricing in person. This is definitely gonna sell like crazy
They either guessed the price of the prototype or are totally clueless what EVs cost.

I would like to see Aptera build at least 50 of these demos and drive them around each state to show them off and answer questions.
A brilliant idea.

Love it! Can't wait for my launch edition!
Please do a tour in all the hot spot states where all the reservations are so we can see it. I’m an accelerated reservation holder in Texas. I think there are a few of us here.
There are several of us in Maine as well! A bit of a haul from Carlsbad, though...
Oh sorry, Texas is to Hot in the Summer , the Car won't have any A/C that can keep you cool, after sitting in the 105 degree heat !
I HOPE APTERA WILL HAVE AIR CONDITIONING!!!
I love that they're still saying mid 30s for the launch edition. If it's 35k I'll be pretty happy even if I didn't get the 3WD as promised.
It's a really cool car i really like how it looks and 40 mile's free from the sun a day of energy !!! I think this Car is the Game Changer!!!!!!!
35K is on the money. I would love to parade this in Sturges SD and Daytona Beach FL bike week.
Quincy / Will, Nice Interview Mix! Same positive reactions!
Show off that meaningful Solar production, even without full solar on Gamma…
It will be great to see one of the PI models out and the attention it gets.
Whoever edits these videos is brilliant. They're always so flawless that you don't even think about the quality.
Awesome Aptera , I’m ready for mine BABY , Let’s GO ! 😎
Me TOO!

That was a fun video. Honest reactions.
Waiting for the crash test, the fender bender, insurance appraiser
I need it! can't wait for Aptera to hit the roads en mass!
They're too busy showing it to new people to get more investment $$$ in.
Ypu mean in Mass or en masse or both 🤪
You mean in Mass, en masse or both? 🤪
I am looking forward to having an Apt era!!!
I’m gonna be a full time Aptera salesman when I get my accelerator. Spreading the good news of solar mobility.
Welllllll, good for youuuuuuu... Hahahahahahahhhaaa
Me too.
Same. 😎✌️
Lets go Aptera... I can not wait for mine.. Accelerator here oh yeah Go Aptera.

Fun video. And that is what Aptera means to me -- fun to drive and efficient. Glad I reserved one and invested.
Same! I'm hanging on to my 2017 EV until I can make the leap!
I have a reservation and this would be a great fit for me.
Great job on video Quincy.
Launch Edition reserved! Great video with real feedback proving that regular people want it.
Another Sucker is born.
I am on the pre order list... but I wish we could change 2 things... a real steering wheel (round, not a yoke), and a smaller central screen (less distracting).
It'll be 80k because the market allows it and they'll want to make money.
Happens EVERY time!😢
Still need to see in Canada 🇨🇦. Be happy to be one of the first ones in Toronto. I have a very early reservation with you folks .
Bring the Aptera to New Jersey!!!
OK 😀 …tho it’s looking like early 2026 for mine. Maybe a ‘guest’ appearance at the NY auto show (April 2025).
This is awesome!

Vancouver is closer than Phoenix? I don’t think so. Phoenix is 350-400 miles away. Vancouver is 1,400.
Wish I had one to drive around Florida to promote for you all 😇
Omg, bring it to Vegas, Pllllease.....
Still waiting for it to come down to Australia... Sold!
Awesome. Aptera, the future is here!
good to see that regular people also recognise how amazing aptera is. i was honestly worried that itll just appeal to nerds like me when the time comes.
let's gooooooo!!! Can't wait for my launch edition!
Hope you guys can keep up the momentum till release!

You guys have the best job in the world! 😎👌
I put down my deposit! I want it soon!
So did everyone who put down their deposit over three years ago......and counting !
Nicely done. Solar mobility is the future.
Finally, a Jetsons for the road!
I wish the front fenders had more flare or where dark tinted clear. They kinda lock like rocks. I want to help Aptera. ❤❤❤❤
No need to sell us the concept. Just sell us the reality.
Will wait as long as it takes to import one of these to Costa Rica. Lots of sun for urban driving❤ Pura Vida!
and with the all composite body...no rust! Pure Vida
Pura Vida!!
❤ Aptera ❤
Wingless flight.
Crash test video needed
"The Future!"" is two words, but that is ok. LOL. Great video, keep this up! Can't wait to see one near me out and about. :)

Hope this manufacturer succeeds. I remember the original Aptera.

How is anyone spending HOURS a week actively charging?? I love my EV, but if I didn't have home charging, I probably wouldn't have bought one.
This will get around 100 miles on 110vac wall socket plug charge overnight. No need to install level 2, 3 or more charger. Also charges in sunlight
