I hesitated to do a preorder because... Cybertruck, but order #21859 (11,859) after I decided to go with it earlier this month. But then factor in cancellations from people changing their minds or just not having the money once they're called to pay; then the order of which vehicles are produced first (400 mile), for which country first (US), it's not that bad.
I read that Ford Bronco converted their reservations at up to 75% which is amazing. As long as the number is under 10,000 after reducing order number by 25% it should be possible to receive the car in 2022.
@Len You're not wrong. I'm sure they'll be putting all the generations of prototypes through tests.
We know the Betas are getting new suspensions, seats, improved motors and a better aerodynamic shape among other things, so I'm sure they'll be doing some serious handling and ride quality tests on them, and perhaps some real world range testing as well. Perhaps some tests of the cooling system handling extreme heat this summer.
No quite. You can't equate your order number (-10,000) with the number of orders. Aptera said they just passed the 10K order level a few days ago, which I assume means a fair number (maybe 1500) of previous orders were canceled.
Not quite that many. I've read that they issue a new order number also when someone changes their order, so some of them are replacement orders. Don't know what fraction that is. Still they've announced they had over 11,000 orders a few weeks ago.
However, I convinced my brother to invest in Aptera a few days ago, and doing so he found himself at a page where it was free for him to reserve one, thanks to his investment. So he did, even though he's not sure he wants one. He's much more interested in a real 4 or 5 passenger car.
How many orders are like his?
Will he be able to apply his $100 credit to the next 5 passenger Aptera coming out years later?
@Harry Parker My number crunching sheet shows about 1,000+ reservation numbers more than the announced actual reservation totals from Aptera. (....ish)
Thanks folks! Reason I asked to see what had been coming in is that I have been adding the dates and numbers to a spreadsheet... better see trending. Reservations are still climbing, though momentum grows right after big news announcements.
@Len I think I know the reason. They had set their eyes on being able to produce 10,000 cars per year once they got production started. That may have been what motivated them to choose that number.
I reserved on May 7th, 2021. My order number is 20934.I'd been closely following Arcimoto until I discovered Aptera, and I was immediately won by the natural beauty of its physics-driven form. It reminds me of its namesake--a flightless bird--and even of sailboats, which I love.
Simple, really. The Paradigm and Paradigm+ are special limited editions of Aptera that sold out within 48 hours of being offered for sale last December. They will be manufactured first and have unique color schemes. If I remember correctly they totalled about 400 in number.
You can now order an Aptera with any combination of options (except not those special edition colors and markings).
Vida Interior?Enhanced audio Paradigm interior 110 vehicles 4th production
Ltd. Edition $100 applied to Deposit. w/ 2nd Wefunder $1000+Investment
? 🤔I can’t recall if the Vida or Codex interior , or something Paradigm unique
I personally am holding out for a 60kWh model, but tying to be one best friends with any Paradigm owners “to hold me over “😉
Another tip. to find answers, like this one for example, I just entered Paradigm🔍 and the search engine pulled up the info... well not Aptera’s but restated by many forum participants
Your most powerful resource will be the answer FROM APTERA ( The mothership😉) itself Before writing a thread... Read through:Aptera's FAQ SpreadsheetPlease search it with Ctrl+F (for "Find"), or for Mac use command+F or cmd+F
@Len actually all color options were available for the Ps and +s, as well as "Special Interior Upgrades." (I did a screen grab of the vehicle info before it went away.)

Hello everyone, I'm reservation holder 20,342 on Apr 5, 2021. I have seen other reservation numbers higher than as well. I sure cant wait for my Aptera, Myself and one other are the only ones on the Aptera map for our city.
Just checking to see if any new reservation holders in the past month care to share their numbers. I'm curious to see how the pace of reservations is going...
I thought I had posted earlier, but I don't see it here... So add another data point: #20299 on April 4th. Placeholder for 400mi, Noir, AWD, max solar.
@n.bruce.nelson They world will forever remember that “advance sacrifice”!
They’re repaving the Interstate down here, for your trek😉
You could be the first guest to try my Level II Clipper Creek charger to “too off” your ride!
It will be a little dusty on the ranch but I can lead you to the paved road. I have a mobile “battery operated” power washer for dust/rinse your off for your next stop.
Hey maybe we can be like Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive In and Dives, but “these episodes” could be with a shiny clean Aptera visiting American Eateries as hopefully they try to rebound. ( I believe I have an EV club member that may have the famous Route 66 trek mapped for EV charging, from his past EV trek(s)...) Now for a name of the show🤔 Charge, Drive, Eat 🇺🇸while charging REPEAT! APTERA Made In 🇺🇸
@Len I've seen numbers listed in the 10,600 range - a running tally would be terrific but, as they're just reservation numbers, they might wait until reservations are converted into actual orders (probably with a significant deposit).
My reservation is #15087. I just can't imagine building 5,086 cars, but after that, I'm next, right? Hopefully a bunch of the first ones will be coming to Oregon. We need 'em here!
Hello, all . I am excited about this prospect. I live in Sunny Florida, an it is warm and flat, so the proposed mileage and solar recharge will be awesome. I love sailing and the use of natural energy. I commute 110 miles a day so the larger battery is necessary. Thanks for this forum. reservation # 14596
Looks like I have a bit of a wait. I am super excited to receive, see and drive my Aptera and see all those camera's out trying to take a picture of it.
To my best knowledge Reservation numbers, in time, will be confirmed as an ordered numbet, So if previous reservation holders back out your number is no the number “place” you posted.
Since they started at 10,000 I assume this will bring you into the 10,600 reservation
When they launch their new website they said we will have better visibility of our reservation with ability to adjust our ultimate order🤞
This is interesting, because it would seem to support the idea that either 61 orders were cancelled in the time between our posts (see my post above yours, made on the day of my reservation), or possibly our different configurations determined a different reservation slot.
Mike, you beat my order number. Though,there is a little weirdness here - I ordered on 4/17/21 but my order number is 20614! Maybe it's a moon phase. In addition, the address of house I grew up was ... 614 Fifth St.
I ordered an AWD but everything else is likely change. Who knows? That far down the list there may be some new options to drool over.
#11948...ordered on the 7 December. Will need to upgrade my battery one level. Hopefully, production begins around the projected time and will have it in my driveway before winter of 2022 sets in...if that's possible 😄
I am #13494 ordered December 11th. My order is for a 60kWh battery w/full solar, FWD, Sol White w/Coast interior, Enhanced Audio and .Safety Pilot.
I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn't just wait for the cheap 2-door Tesla. It will probably be here by the time the 4-wheel Aptera is, and may cost about the same, with the same big hatch. But with the Tesla I can subscribe to FSD when I go for that long road trip.
What is a Paradigm and Paradigm+? Is that just the first 600 and then 300 off the production line? Or is there anything different about them (options, features, colors)? Has Aptera just dropped the marketing label Paradigm for follow on production?
#18935, order placed February 28th, 2021. I'm in Michigan.
Range (Miles per Charge): 250
All-Wheel Drive
Interior Color: Coast
Exterior Colors: Luna
Solar Power: All

Not sure I like the opaque deck lid with the "all" solar option, may take it down a notch at finalization time. Hopefully I can score some test-drive miles before then, and it sounds like I have plenty of time to wait! ;)
Cool, another Michigander! I'm in Muskegon. If you want, I can add you to the map. Let me know your city and I'll add you (totally voluntary though). www.apteramap.info
Wow... 9100 preorders? Thats impressive! Also a long wait... we may have to use this forum to organize test rides from those who get their cars early...

They don't yet have a web person to set up a way to manage their order tracking. It's easily done as there is available software for online ordering. Just have to pay someone to do it. Hang on to your email receipt.
Exactly. Also, why did my order disappear Aptera? (yes I emailed them, no response)

Your order is like mine, you do have your order number but I logged in after placing my order. Our order numbers are valid and there are many others in our situation, it was mentioned that they will have new software to correct these problems.
Yeah I figured as much (definitely falls well into a too-good-to-be-true kind of thing), but I was going to try and figure what exactly they did mean, then their site shows I have no order... now it is starting to feel like Aptera will let me down yet again. I still really want one of these! If it wasn't for Sandy Munro's positive words about the project it would seem a lot like a unicorn.
The part that is [b]very[/b] misleading is the sentence that says "you'll get two Apterae for the price of one". That is the sentence that needs to be fixed, or else Aptera as a company will raise too much in the way of expectations only to have everyone's hearts siknk once they find out what exactly they meant. This should be fixed ASAP.
Well, the email response I got after reserving on 12/14/20 says order #14294. But today I went to the website to take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer, it says I have no orders.
I can't believe someone who ordered one on 12/4/2020 has order number on low 100 range and within 24hrs I am at 700 range. I should have ordered a little sooner.
I'm Order No.16105 ...placed on Jan 6, 2021 for the State of New Jersey, so hopefully Aptera will be successful in lobbying for the tax credits. I'm concerned sent an email to info@aptera.us on 02/02/2021 stating that I would like to change/add some options but have yet to receive a response/acknowledgement/confirmation of it. I hope I can still make these changes.This is what I wish my order to look like:
@fanfare It's my understanding that you'll be able to change your options before you complete the purchase when your order number comes up. Others have stated that they have been unable to adjust their reservation orders.
Response to emails has been slow of late for two reasons: The staff is VERY small and they've all been pitching-in to move the entire operation into a new, larger facility across town. I wouldn't worry - they'll get back to you eventually.
@Max Conrad im so hyped right now but i thought acc is standard and i dont need level 2 if i have acc. But a good sound is essential for long travels, i estimate around 350km on german highway speed.... cant wait do drive one
I'm jealous. Since I don't now own a motorcycle, I can't order my custom plates yet.

in the early morning of 12/10/2020 I ordered and my reservation number was already over 3000. it would be great if there could be a place on the Aptera web site that would automatically show the current number of orders.
i teetered on the exterior color but opted for black. silver was a close second but the nose cone color difference threw me. they could easily wrap it the same silver so i'm not sure why it has to appear as different colors. had they not, i may have gone with silver. but the matte black looks great imo as well so it's a win either way.
🤔 Don't think so. I'm afraid you'll need to cool your jets.
In a month or so they will announce their 3rd crowdsourced funding campaign. They still need to raise ~20 million dollars to fund development through preproduction testing and building their 1st assembly line. How fast that goes will affect the delivery timetable.
My understanding is that you'll be contacted about a month before they are ready to put yours together. That won't be before this Autumn.
They just acquired their first factory space. For the very first order deliveries as they first must
* finish the design,
* build pre-production prototypes, test & show them off,
* produce videos to show them off their performance under extreme conditions,
* raise the money for building a production line,
* choose all the suppliers & lock in all the supplier contracts,
* design & build a production line,
* test the first production intent vehicles, including crash tests,
* make any needed design modifications, build & retest,
* only then start building customers' vehicles for delivery.
I'm sure I'm missing a few significant steps.
Unless your order is one of the first 100 (less than #10100) you will probably be waiting well into 2022 for delivery. I just read elsewhere on this forum they have close to 7000 pre-orders now. That is way more than they originally planned to build in their first year of production. Hopefully they can ramp up their production rate more quickly than they originally planned.
In the meantime I'm expecially looking forward to seeing their road test videos showing how they'll perform on highways and bumpy roads, in summer heat and in freeziing winter snows. Not to mention seeing videos demonstrating their crash worthiness. (My wife needs to see those to be convinced.)
@Harry Parker I think what you will probably see, (Minus any timeline that is fluid for now.) The first 220 vehicles will be 40kwh Paradigms. That allows them to put together a basic build of the same model each time, to allow for a sped up, repetitive assembly process. So a lot of people who are in the first 220 orders will be dropped back a bit, as they have a different configuration.
Maybe...what it shows is that yours was the 111th order processed. Vehicles are planned to be produced with the FWD 40kwhs first. then the 25 and 60 kwhs and the 100s and AWDs last. (In the first build set, I think under 1,000 total) Beyond that I'm not sure if a Paradigm/+ makes any difference.) So a lot of it will be determined by what you are requesting. Also location and how close you are to them may be a factor, since they may want to be able to work out any bugs that develop in the initial vehicles.
I've been following Aptera since 2008, and I'm so jazzed about the new version they've developed. I'm also an entrepreneur, and I love seeing visionary and passionate owners bringing products to life. I dream about getting the vaccine, taking delivery ASAP, and driving this baby around the country. Freedom!
I'm #1010X also with a silver Paradigm (right now). I, too, am on the fence about the color. I generally prefer silver cars because they are cooler in the sun (I live in the South). Has anyone else noticed that the nose on the Silver Aptera is a different color? Unlike the black or white color choices where the nose cone is the same color as the rest of the car, the silver one is rendered differently. Since I am an early production number and will likely be unable to see the tri-color car in person (silver belly, grey nose cone, black top) I am concerned about ordering this color.
I ordered today, Jan 12, 2021. 400 mile range, AWD, Safety Pilot, Noir exterior color, Vita interior. Order #16663
Everything shows in "my orders: and have my email confirmation. Now for hers. :-)

Fantastic , this should mean there are now over $200 million in orders! This should help get things moving a little faster.
While we would like to be getting more updates from Aptera, I think this really means that all of their efforts are being put into working out the details of getting it into production.
My order number is: 13755 My order was placed on Dec 12 2020. I am wondering why when I log in here to the Aptera website my profile in the "My Orders" section, the page shows "No Orders".
Thank you, Yes I am confident that I am logged in, as my name, e-mail address etc. are all correct when i click on "Profile". I am also sure I made my deposit as I have the confirmation e-mail and my card was charged. I am not too worried, just thought it a bit odd, and I have begun sharing my friends code and would like credit for anyone who happens to use it.
Did you create your profile here, Before you placed your order? Someone mentioned that there may be a glitch and if you don't have an active account before placing your order, it won't show. If that is the case, try info@aptera.us with a request for a fix. (If they can.)

Have some FAITH!!! The good people at APTERA are dedicated and also being totally open and transparent with us. I invested in a different vehicle in 2014 that led to nothing but aggravation. They did NOTHING but BS the over 65000 reservation holders. I am confident that this vehicle WILL come to fruition.
John G #2576 "Future Aptera Owners of America" on FB
I'll be amazed if I actually get a car. So many of the these projects come and go but at a rez of only $100, I'm willing to play the "Vehicle of the Future" lottery.
Ordered a 400 AWD, Full solar, Sandy Blues with Custom Exterior Color, Enhanced Audio and SafetyPilot.
FWIW, I ordered and then cancelled my Tesla Roadster 2.
How'd that happen to you? I had my reservation, and wasn't concerned about the money, just wanted the vehicle. I held out beyond the bitter end, and they sent me a check (That cleared.) without me even asking. Had you moved, or changed E-mail or something? (Paradigm+ Luna)
I also got my deposit refunded from the original reservation. And they discounted the reservation for those of us that originally ordered. So no real risk.
@Ozman #10058I heard that most but not all reservations were refunded. I guess I was one of the unlucky few. I made lots of calls till the phones were shut off, even talked to Wells Fargo, no luck. :-(
No reservation numbers started at 10000 so that means your are 5000 place And say you are an investor at a certain $amount, per the terms of the past wefunder campaign.... that could move you up in the line.
It takes a while to appear on you account but any issue info@aptera.us
@john2000young What you did yesterday wasn't really an "order" so much as a pre-reservation to secure you a spot in the queue for when ordering becomes a possibility.
Aptera is currently working in a small warehouse in an industrial park. At present visitors are not welcome because of Covid restrictions and the fact that there is only one running prototype: When there is a "production intent" vehicle ready and they've moved to a larger production facility I'm sure things will be different.
Albuquerque NM, so the all solar version should work out great.
400, AWD, All solar, Coast interior, Custom exterior (change to Sol White if custom paint moves me to the back of the line). I have an email receipt of the pre-order, but do not see it on this Aptera website in my account. Hopefully they will fix that soon.
I have waited for what seems like forever (15 yrs). Just about to buy another small ICE car for a current daily 50mi commute. C'mon Aptera! Let's get this into production.
To check for your order, (If it has been entered for the site.) Click the down carrot to the right of "Reserve Now", then click on "My Orders", then click anywhere on the line with your order number, and it should bring up your full order info.
Also, custom color is a wrap that appears to cover all but the full black areas of the vehicle. I'm waiting to see more details on that also, but they don't seem to be implying there will be any delay if you choose it.
Hello All- #15603, central AZ so lots of sunshine :) 600mi range, FWD, all solar power, upgraded audio of course and visually exactly per the prototype. I was (am?) also a reservist for the Elio on March 28, 2014 at only $100 all-in, so I didn't get an actual reservation number but at that time there were 12,998 reservations. Last I knew there were over 63K reservations there. I got to check out their orange prototype, sat in it, was very nice! Sad to see that development stall so abruptly. I recall the early Aptera model, and love seeing its rebirth by the original folks, and the strength of its following to this stage. Hope to see this in production soon! I love these technologies! r-
Mine is #10035, placed on 12/4. I reserved a Sol with the Earth Tones interior, 400 mile range, FWD. Can't wait to see more info as these start to come to the market.
I think there are a lot of long time supporters on this forum. I don't have my information anymore so I don't know my original number, but I eventually bought a Leaf in 2011 when it looked like Aptera wasn't going to make it. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Aptera had risen from the ashes and was back with the original owners.
10346. I was actually a deposit holder up until 2012 when I got my deposit back. I got to meet Steve Fambro and Chris Anthony at the Automotive Museum in San Diego at an awesome event. I put a deposit down on a Tesla the day that I found out I would not be getting an Aptera. I never lost faith in Aptera and hope to have one in my garage next to my Teslas.
Hi, my order # is 15421. But currently the 'My Orders' drop-down does not list for me. Hopefully it will in a short time.
I'm in for an all solar version. That is, here in Phoenix,AZ (Gilbert actually) and a light weight 250mi pack, all panels. So I'm hope'in to go with little-to no charging at all. In reality, I may plug in at work around the afternoon, or at home for a couple hours in the evening, just to top it off. I'll get one all White, for this hot-sunny state.
I am experienced at 3 wheel design and was highly active in the Elio world. But, oh well, at this point, the Elio will not likely rise from the ashes. I'm hope'in the Aptera comes though for us all. So I'm putting my oars in the water here and hope for the best.
Look for Atlantric Car Project on facebook and you will know who I am.
My wife’s SUV has the entire roof in black/glass and the simple insulated slider keeps her car at a comfortable temp here in the desert with five years experience. This past summer being the hottest.
There is no other options for solar cells ...”It is what it is”.No replaceable white solar cells yet !
I like white for other reasons too...
-Visibility and given the vulnerable front wheels it may be good (?). I don’t have drives in snow where it may blend in.
No street lights out here, visibility is important.
(I live in a open ranch county. I was amazed to realize how even a vehicles high beam headlight projected in the local black cattle’s coat is completely absorbed. No reflection. Many crashes have occurred with careless drivers😞)
- Easy to color match with minor touch uos. (Aptera, of course, is vinyl wrapped)
-Hides imperfections
-Dark colors show dust and light dirt more. I never had a satin finish, which will be interesting, at least the colors Aptera is offering as Std. satin white , black and aluminum
- White makes a vehicle look bigger with no weight gain/ aerodynamic impact 😉
Just a personal preference after fifty years of vehicle ownership on the vehicles I owned on opposite ends of the US
This is also in a separate thread, but if you feel inclined to share your location (custom Google map forwarded by this link to make it easy): www.apteramap.info
I had production slot 120 originally, now I have reservation 13505. It actually kind of irritates me that, despite having put down a reservation the first time through, I didn’t get any notice when they got things together again.
@Mark Sumner It might have been when I signed up at the Barrett Jackson auction in Lost Wages (LasVegas). I've never worn it, though. At least I got to try it on for size... The car, not the T-shirt.
From what I have been reading the limited production will be the Paradigm vehicles that were offered first and orders will continue first 40kWh, then 60, 1000 and oh a 25 too! With ”starting at” 10,000/yr, .... you are at the 2,020 spot . So 60 and 100 early 2022 Of course if you were an investor at a certain level and they were offering a perk... that could bump you up on the production but.. production year is production year. Lots of test, finalizing the other two development vehicles happening now. Full crash testing before production and “all that jazz!”
Hmm Well, for me, by 2022, I will have seen and talked to folks about, Safety pilot, Enhanced audio, camping and pet kits(???), All I do not have to commit too until production starts
@Len by 2022 most of what's in SafetyPilot will probably be included by law in all automobiles (remember how quickly back-up cameras became a requirement). Many vehicles already come with ACC and LKA as standard equipment and they are already showing their benefit in reducing driver-fatigue-related accidents.
@Len I was thinking, today, about how much fun it would be to buy something "with all the bells and whistles" and all the bells and whistles turned out to be ACTUAL bells and whistles!
I hesitated to do a preorder because... Cybertruck, but order #21859 (11,859) after I decided to go with it earlier this month. But then factor in cancellations from people changing their minds or just not having the money once they're called to pay; then the order of which vehicles are produced first (400 mile), for which country first (US), it's not that bad.
I read that Ford Bronco converted their reservations at up to 75% which is amazing. As long as the number is under 10,000 after reducing order number by 25% it should be possible to receive the car in 2022.
No quite. You can't equate your order number (-10,000) with the number of orders. Aptera said they just passed the 10K order level a few days ago, which I assume means a fair number (maybe 1500) of previous orders were canceled.

Reservation are good for dreaming and used by many at this early stage
Of course, at a later date, when “confirmed orders” are asked... they could advise
And it comes down to your production capacity too. If initially you can only make 10k a year...

Looks like I have a bit of a wait. I am super excited to receive, see and drive my Aptera and see all those camera's out trying to take a picture of it.
To my best knowledge Reservation numbers, in time, will be confirmed as an ordered numbet, So if previous reservation holders back out your number is no the number “place” you posted.
Since they started at 10,000 I assume this will bring you into the 10,600 reservation
When they launch their new website they said we will have better visibility of our reservation with ability to adjust our ultimate order🤞
I am 20,600, ordered April 21. Is order number the same as reservation number? I may have to wait until 2024!

#11948...ordered on the 7 December. Will need to upgrade my battery one level. Hopefully, production begins around the projected time and will have it in my driveway before winter of 2022 sets in...if that's possible 😄
I am #13494 ordered December 11th. My order is for a 60kWh battery w/full solar, FWD, Sol White w/Coast interior, Enhanced Audio and .Safety Pilot.
I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn't just wait for the cheap 2-door Tesla. It will probably be here by the time the 4-wheel Aptera is, and may cost about the same, with the same big hatch. But with the Tesla I can subscribe to FSD when I go for that long road trip.
They sold out but were limited as follows
Paradigm Edition
$29,900.00
FWD
Full Never Charge (NC)
40 kWh
400
Vida interior?Enhanced audio Paradigm interior 220 vehicles 1st production
Ltd Edition. $100 applied to Deposit. w/ 2nd Wefunder $1000+ Investment
Paradigm +
$44,900.00

Full NC
100 kWh
1000
Vida Interior?Enhanced audio Paradigm interior 110 vehicles 4th production
Ltd. Edition $100 applied to Deposit. w/ 2nd Wefunder $1000+Investment
What is a Paradigm and Paradigm+? Is that just the first 600 and then 300 off the production line? Or is there anything different about them (options, features, colors)? Has Aptera just dropped the marketing label Paradigm for follow on production?
#18935, order placed February 28th, 2021. I'm in Michigan.
Range (Miles per Charge): 250
All-Wheel Drive
Interior Color: Coast
Exterior Colors: Luna

Off-Road Kit
Not sure I like the opaque deck lid with the "all" solar option, may take it down a notch at finalization time. Hopefully I can score some test-drive miles before then, and it sounds like I have plenty of time to wait! ;)
I also am a EV club member and will be showing at Michigan events..
Right!
I am a member of one of my state’s EV clubs and hope to “share” at their state events but I do not expect to get mine until 2022
And if the timing is right...through a video through something like Electrify America etc,,,,
Wow... 9100 preorders? Thats impressive! Also a long wait... we may have to use this forum to organize test rides from those who get their cars early...

Anyone want to use my 30$ off referral link?
I was able to receive a 2nd order number yesterday that indicates they now have about 8,400 orders.
They don't yet have a web person to set up a way to manage their order tracking. It's easily done as there is available software for online ordering. Just have to pay someone to do it. Hang on to your email receipt.
Exactly. Also, why did my order disappear Aptera? (yes I emailed them, no response)
info@aptera.us for your order clarification
You kniw it is not a two for one order right?
See the highlight bolded text under the picture for what you get with that code
So if you make one reservation the second $100 reservation is waived (free)with that special code
Well, the email response I got after reserving on 12/14/20 says order #14294. But today I went to the website to take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer, it says I have no orders.
#10701 ordered on 12/5/2020.
400 mile range
AWD
Full solar panels
Interior: earth tones
Exterior: white (might wrap it when I get them)
I can't believe someone who ordered one on 12/4/2020 has order number on low 100 range and within 24hrs I am at 700 range. I should have ordered a little sooner.
I'm Order No.16105 ...placed on Jan 6, 2021 for the State of New Jersey, so hopefully Aptera will be successful in lobbying for the tax credits. I'm concerned sent an email to info@aptera.us on 02/02/2021 stating that I would like to change/add some options but have yet to receive a response/acknowledgement/confirmation of it. I hope I can still make these changes. This is what I wish my order to look like:
* 250 mile Aptera
* off-road package
* 40m/day solar panels
* camping kit
* enhanced audio
Order No.10406, Placed on Dec 4, 2020:

And hello!
Order No. 16932 - placed on Jan 17, 2021
Just found out about Aptera on Jan 16, 2021 so I put $70.00 on a 250Mi Range, FWD, Safety Package, Full Solar Panel Model on Jan 17, 2021.
Exterior Color undecided yet. Interior will be Earth Tone.
Wow, closing in on 8000 preorders! Pretty great to see :)
17749 from germany maybe it will not come to EU but they should know we want it
LOCKED and LOADED!!! This could very well be the 1st Official APTERA registered license plate in Florida (maybe even in the USA!)
I cannot wait to put it on the back of my new APTERA vehicle!!! Come and visit us at Facebook group Future Aptera Owners of America!
in the early morning of 12/10/2020 I ordered and my reservation number was already over 3000. it would be great if there could be a place on the Aptera web site that would automatically show the current number of orders.
That is so exciting! Thanks for reporting in!
#16997 and I'll be waiting for a noir/vida 100KWh FWD full solar unit with SafetyPilot and the audio upgrade for maximum road tripping action!
Super stoked!
i teetered on the exterior color but opted for black. silver was a close second but the nose cone color difference threw me. they could easily wrap it the same silver so i'm not sure why it has to appear as different colors. had they not, i may have gone with silver. but the matte black looks great imo as well so it's a win either way.
If I recall correctly, this month management will contact us to tell us when we can expect our vehicle.
Thanks Ozman. Looks like I won't get my car until Christmas or 2022 based on what I ordered:

I've been following Aptera since 2008, and I'm so jazzed about the new version they've developed. I'm also an entrepreneur, and I love seeing visionary and passionate owners bringing products to life. I dream about getting the vaccine, taking delivery ASAP, and driving this baby around the country. Freedom!
WOW 15th!
Can’t wait to read your reviews!

Everything shows in "my orders: and have my email confirmation. Now for hers. :-)
My order number is: 13755 My order was placed on Dec 12 2020. I am wondering why when I log in here to the Aptera website my profile in the "My Orders" section, the page shows "No Orders".

Ben,
Have some FAITH!!! The good people at APTERA are dedicated and also being totally open and transparent with us. I invested in a different vehicle in 2014 that led to nothing but aggravation. They did NOTHING but BS the over 65000 reservation holders. I am confident that this vehicle WILL come to fruition.

I'll be amazed if I actually get a car. So many of the these projects come and go but at a rez of only $100, I'm willing to play the "Vehicle of the Future" lottery.
Ordered a 400 AWD, Full solar, Sandy Blues with Custom Exterior Color, Enhanced Audio and SafetyPilot.
FWIW, I ordered and then cancelled my Tesla Roadster 2.
10036 Ordered two, both black Paradigm+. Lost original deposit 10 years ago.
No reservation numbers started at 10000 so that means your are 5000 place And say you are an investor at a certain $amount, per the terms of the past wefunder campaign.... that could move you up in the line.
It takes a while to appear on you account but any issue info@aptera.us
They are processing many orders!
That is what I have read... I hope that helps
I have an email stating a number in the 15,000 but when I check my orders there is nothing there. Was I ripped?

Where is aptera?
I ordered one yesterday.
I live in San Diego.
I like to visit Aptera and see the vehicle in person.
It is difficult to find their address.
This is the address I finally found.
3151 Scott Street #A Vista, CA 92081 United States
However, this is the address of "DJO Global Vista Manufacturing Center"
Kind of fishy.
I am in the 15,000 group
#11580 - What does that even mean?
Albuquerque NM, so the all solar version should work out great.
400, AWD, All solar, Coast interior, Custom exterior (change to Sol White if custom paint moves me to the back of the line). I have an email receipt of the pre-order, but do not see it on this Aptera website in my account. Hopefully they will fix that soon.
I have waited for what seems like forever (15 yrs). Just about to buy another small ICE car for a current daily 50mi commute. C'mon Aptera! Let's get this into production.
My is 15610 ordered several hours ago.
Hello All- #15603, central AZ so lots of sunshine :) 600mi range, FWD, all solar power, upgraded audio of course and visually exactly per the prototype. I was (am?) also a reservist for the Elio on March 28, 2014 at only $100 all-in, so I didn't get an actual reservation number but at that time there were 12,998 reservations. Last I knew there were over 63K reservations there. I got to check out their orange prototype, sat in it, was very nice! Sad to see that development stall so abruptly. I recall the early Aptera model, and love seeing its rebirth by the original folks, and the strength of its following to this stage. Hope to see this in production soon! I love these technologies! r-
#10023, Paradigm+ .

WOW! Congrats! We will be hoping to hear your 2021 reviews later this year!
Mine is #10035, placed on 12/4. I reserved a Sol with the Earth Tones interior, 400 mile range, FWD. Can't wait to see more info as these start to come to the market.
I think there are a lot of long time supporters on this forum. I don't have my information anymore so I don't know my original number, but I eventually bought a Leaf in 2011 when it looked like Aptera wasn't going to make it. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Aptera had risen from the ashes and was back with the original owners.
I am so grateful for long time supporters of Aptera like you. You have helped lay the groundwork for where we are today.
10346. I was actually a deposit holder up until 2012 when I got my deposit back. I got to meet Steve Fambro and Chris Anthony at the Automotive Museum in San Diego at an awesome event. I put a deposit down on a Tesla the day that I found out I would not be getting an Aptera. I never lost faith in Aptera and hope to have one in my garage next to my Teslas.
Hi, my order # is 15421. But currently the 'My Orders' drop-down does not list for me. Hopefully it will in a short time.
I'm in for an all solar version. That is, here in Phoenix,AZ (Gilbert actually) and a light weight 250mi pack, all panels. So I'm hope'in to go with little-to no charging at all. In reality, I may plug in at work around the afternoon, or at home for a couple hours in the evening, just to top it off. I'll get one all White, for this hot-sunny state.
I am experienced at 3 wheel design and was highly active in the Elio world. But, oh well, at this point, the Elio will not likely rise from the ashes. I'm hope'in the Aptera comes though for us all. So I'm putting my oars in the water here and hope for the best.
Look for Atlantric Car Project on facebook and you will know who I am.
This is also in a separate thread, but if you feel inclined to share your location (custom Google map forwarded by this link to make it easy): www.apteramap.info
I spent too much time deciding and ended up at 10058, Paradigm+ in silver.
I was up early, on line waiting for the code to come in e-mail form.
so I was #10006. order is AWD, off-road in Sol White, radio and 400KW battery.
Guess it will be a year or more before I get mine, but well worth the wait.
Dec 27th 15301 White, Coral, 400, FWD, Safety Pilot, Full Solar, Camping
I had production slot 120 originally, now I have reservation 13505. It actually kind of irritates me that, despite having put down a reservation the first time through, I didn’t get any notice when they got things together again.
Congrats!
#15309, 1000kWH/AWD/Sol/Coral/Full Solar/Safety Pilot!!!!
12991 I don't remember what I requested. I'll worry about that if need be. I've been following Aptera and Elio a looooooong time.
#10014 Paradigm+, Luna, Coast, Safety Pilot and Pet
#12940 1000kwh, Luna, Coral trim AWD, Safety Pilot Total Solar
From what I have been reading the limited production will be the Paradigm vehicles that were offered first and orders will continue first 40kWh, then 60, 1000 and oh a 25 too! With ”starting at” 10,000/yr, .... you are at the 2,020 spot . So 60 and 100 early 2022 Of course if you were an investor at a certain level and they were offering a perk... that could bump you up on the production but.. production year is production year. Lots of test, finalizing the other two development vehicles happening now. Full crash testing before production and “all that jazz!”
my # is 12020 — don’t have the first idea what that means as to place in line, etc...]
here’s what I ordered:
Range (Miles per Charge): 1000
Front-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive: All-Wheel Drive
Interior Color: Coast: Sandy blues
Exterior Colors: Luna: Silver
Solar Power: Solar Roof (Included)
and the safety package (around 2.5 auto-driving?)
Hmm Well, for me, by 2022, I will have seen and talked to folks about, Safety pilot, Enhanced audio, camping and pet kits(???), All I do not have to commit too until production starts
Two digit place holder with whatever my perk adds but...my choice may not be seen until 2022 ,which meets all the expectations, safety etc...
