    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.

        Same. Telo is very appealing too, sometimes I go on camping/festival road trips and I take a bunch of stuff with me. Telo recently announced they’ll be integrating Aptera solar panels, but the range obviously isn’t anywhere close to Aptera’s. If I ever end up owning 2 cars then I might have one of each.
