Some of the changes are functionally substantial: the significant changes are the door windows now roll down, the front wheel track is narrower, the rear quarter windows are revised, and the rear wheel housing extends to the rear fascia with it's recessed taillights. There is also more interior room in this version.

The roll down windows are critical, as is the narrower front track. The quarter windows probably have better sight lines and open up some blind spots. The rear change may affect safety when the Aptera is rear ended?
