Notes/updates. Last updated 2/7/2023:
Last updated 2/7/2023:
1) The programmable scroll buttons on the yoke are being switched out for a volume up and down button on the left (still programmable?) and a horn button on the right.
2) Wireless charging was mentioned as a feature for Delta during the Fully Charged Live event in September, though it is not officially listed as a feature on Aptera's website as of 1/3/2022. At this point we know there are two USB-C ports.
Jason Hill recently suggested there will be a 12-volt outlet in the rear, possibly only if you order the camping kit.
3) "We plan to equip the vehicle with seat heaters. We are designing this vehicle specifically for a lot of the cold countries that love electric vehicles."
4) Aptera recently suggested that there will be no front camera on the vehicle at the start of production, indicating this will be a hardware add-on for Safety Pilot. They have hinted that they're working with a partner "in that area." So it's unofficial right now, but sounds like Comma AI to me. A recent video from Cyber Owners seems to confirm this.
5) The document holder in the glove box area is confirmed. It looks like soft material with a zipper.
6) There are two ultrasonic parking sensors in the front (on the nose cone now instead of the wheelpants) and none in the back. The idea is to rely on the wide-angle backup camera only in the back.
7) "We chose to finish Aptera with an extremely durable wrap because it is more environmentally friendly and eliminates approximately 98% of the need for a traditional painting process while offering UV protection. We also hope people will find it easier to repair damages or switch out colors of their choosing. We expect the film wrap to last 5 to 10 years in aggressive UV environments. We are testing with the vendors now to set expectations and warranty." Chris Anthony recently said they are looking at the 3M 2080 wrap.
8) "In regards to Apple CarPlay or Android [Auto] - we are focusing on Bluetooth right now and hope to offer that compatibility in the future."
(As far as I can tell, this is no longer on the website).
9) According to Chris Anthony in December 2022, room is being left on the solar controller for an upgradeable solar kit later on for an additional 1000W or more, but the kit will not be available at the time of launch.
