At the end of 2020, Aptera Motors has introduced an interesting solar-powered electric vehicle with a range of 1,600 kilometers. It is an Aptera 3, an electric three-wheeler with an elegant design.
The vehicle has a lightweight construction and an incredibly low air resistance of just 0.13. It uses only 100 Wh of energy per 1.6 kilometers. However, future owners began to talk about the problem of delivery of their vehicles. On social media, rumors have surfaced that Aptera vehicles ordered for this year will be delivered in 2023 or 2024. What is the reason for the delay in delivery?
Aptera Motors stated that there were no problems with the production, but that the delivery was postponed due to the customer’s specific choice of configuration, date of reservation and place where he lives. “The goal is to begin shipping to our first customers the Paradigm Edition in 2022, followed by as many customers in the U.S. as possible in 2023 until we increase the number to 40 per day,” the statement said.
The company said that their priority is to make the highest quality solar electric vehicle, and that they will contact each customer individually. Buyers outside the United States have to wait until 2024.
