Probably the only thing that would stop me from buying the Aptera is if I can't fit (which would break my heart). I'm a little over 6'4 and a little over 300 pounds. However I've found that I can shoehorn myself into most cars. However, in some of them I wouldn't want to do long road trips, which for me is the point of the Aptera. I'm encouraged by the beta redesign, though apparently I can only have super models as a passenger, which is a shame, as I've never convinced a super model to ride with me.
One of the ceos are in the 6foot area ... I think it can hold a 6' 5" person.
As for weight. The front two tires can hold upto 500 lbs before center of gravity issues become a problem.

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?
You see Chris Anthony sitting in manu of the Aptera phitos and he is about 6’2”, I believe.
And heard
A 250# person in the seat might be the max.
A 6’8” foot person should fit with the seat pushed back but because people will have different leg and torso length this can vary
I guess...short of waiting for the pandemic restrictions to allow one to sit in an Aptera in 2021, given the refundable reservation. they state a 1,000 mile/ seven day allowance on the ordering page so... there is that to confirm/ consider.
If this helps at all here is a referral code to reduce the $100 reservation by $30.:
Oh, and I'm also holding out some hope that the off-road package might toughen up the suspension a little to accommodate us Neanderthals.

@Len, can you add the dimensions ?
