If Aptera would bring back the third seat option that apparently existed at one time, I am doubly in. Reading earlier posts, the execs mentioned there was not much demand for a third seat, which I find very surprising. There is more demand for a trunk tent option than a third seat...? ๐ I would rather have the third seat โroadsterโ version than the proposed longer term TBD 4 seat sedan. And the trade off on fewer batteries / lower range is understood and fine.
I am very excited about Aptera and am just thinking I will be a bit patient and let these option concepts hopefully get worked out in the overall purchase process longer term. I would literally pre-order today if there was a third seat since my wife doesnโt want an only two seater and that is our main blocker to ordering. Everyone essentially needs to wait a while, anyhow, so the pre-order is just a small step in a longer journey. ๐. Weโll see if they bring back their earlier third seat option at some point. Hope so!
I suppose you could always strap the third person down in the trunk like luggage.๐
