Very similar to my order. I've read where it was believed that the 1000 mile range Apteras were 30% of the orders, but recently one of their spokes people said it was only 10-11%. I fear the 1000 mile range model will never get built.

Didn't get a prompt about that Helium - maybe 600-mile range is more feasible short term - 600 though functional range is more like 300 in heat/cold 20-80% charge span. 2025 delivery came back on my order.

You are looking at it exactly as I do. That is why I wanted the 1000 mile range. I'm still holding onto my reservation and I'm not going to give up hope until they make it official. Just to be clear, no representative of Aptera ever said they wouldn't build the 1000 miles version.

It seems their 1000 miler is due to a bit larger battery with exceptional aerodynamics and light vehicle weight = totally feasible. In the Aptera profile - it must be so new - there are no forum groups - unless I'm missing something?

It was announced at the very beginning when reservations were first being taken and the range versions were initially announced.

Also, they always indicated that it wouldn't be the first version built. If I remember correctly they said about a year after the foundation model started shipping.

With Musk firing 90% of his SuperCharger staff. Aptera's very long range vehicles are starting to look an even wiser choice for a daily driver and road trip vehicle especially those that people that live in an apartment.

Yes - and they're agile enough to steer clear of maniac drivers / 18-wheelers :angel:

97.5% battery health at 100k is insanely good. That’s negligible battery loss. Wow. Great news for us lightning owners IMO!!!!

I'll try to keep the community informed as I go. I've had negligible maintenance just mainly the recalls and tires. I did just find a running board light was out but that is my fault

NHTSA is investigating 2 BlueCruise suspected fatalities - so software/modules/batteries evolve as issues.
