I want to get one of those new Apteras next year, the all wheel drive version is fast and 300+mpge is will be the industry's best.
You can reserve them now. The first edition sold the first day but you can still reserve a customized one. If you want to save $30 you can use my referral link:

Forget that vapor dream. Get a tesla now or wait on a vapor to never deliver.

I'd say get a Chevy Bolt now. There is a dealership in San Antonio selling new 2020 LT with "comfort and convenience" package and DCFC for $22k. Most other people report ~$24k out the door. There is a Costco discount on top of massive manufacturer discounts.
On the used market, I'm seeing 2017s as low as ~$13k.
There is a recall on 2017-2019 due to a handful of fires while charging. That may make it more difficult to buy used from a dealership. A permanent remedy is expected in January, but in the meantime the recommendation from GM is to use the charge limiting function to avoid the last 5% of charge.

This!
- If the vehicle suits your needs and is within your budget and it's what you want... GET IT!
- If it's not quite one of those but you still like the general idea/features/benefits/technology and it's worth the sacrifice to you then:
- Sacrifice either some feature you'd get on an ICE vehicle
- Or sacrifice more money for a more expensive EV with those features.
- Or both pay more and get less. But, the sacrifice shouldn't be bigger than your commitment to the technology.
- If it's not exactly what you need want and can afford and it's also not worth the sacrifice to you, or your sure a better car is just around the corner, then you should wait.

Where are these links I post you speak of?
You are full of it.
Anyone remotely paying attention knows I hate car dealerships.

He's talking about the poster that linked a referral to Aptera.

Hey now...context! He was talking to you, not about you.
This is what he's referring to:

As other's said - I was talking to you about the poster right before you trying to get people to click on a link to save $30 on a new Aptera.
I was assuming that you had read that post and were replying to it and saying not to waste time (and money) waiting for a Aptera that will never be delivered.
