I am 6'-2" tall and weigh 315 lbs. Will the Aptera's attitude change when I get behind the wheel? If so, by how much? Could the suspension be adjusted to accommodate my weight thus allowing the vehicle to sit level with me in it?
With the front wheels being well outside the footprint of the cabin, the effect of the vehicle tilting to one side will be much less than pretty much any car currently on the road.
From the looks of the alpha vehicles the suspension stiffness will be ~easily~ modifiable (not adjustable). Although they have stated they are working on a suspension redesign.
@Matt sounds about right and Nathan said “Target height is 6’6 ” So should be plenty good there.
Old replies said up to 6’8” might be ok too...depending on torso to leg dimensions?... 500# total vehicle weight and ideally NMT 200 # over rear suspension ( for best ride) BUT ALL being assessed and possibly improved before production
They also mention some interior room improvements with the upcoming Beta vehicle but no details yet on “where”
In that video with Chris and Nikki( Podcaster) , Chris mention some more room shoulder to door being assessed
In a recently released video they said they are designing the car around 6'4" occupants. Hopefully for you that means someone of that height would have a couple inches to spare :)

I thought Nathan mentioned 6’6” as the target height??? but different torso to leg size could make a difference
They were confirming a total of 500# in the vehicle so good there too

From the answers in the FAQ
6’5” should not be an issue ( We see Chris in the Noir and believe he is 6’ 2”)
The total weight ( passengers plus cargo in 500#) ideally.
That and trailer towing weight ( 200 # plus 200# payload) limit to be confirmed
