I was unable to participate in the recent webinar. Were more complete images of the interior options shared? If so, does anyone have them to post here, or know when they might be included on the website?
@Joseph DelVecchio As of right now, the only interior images are the CGI renderings that have been available for some time. Final design language hasn't been nailed-down.
@len What's the point of the "center console cover"? What's does opening the zipper do? Also, wouldn't having cupholders directly in front of the arm rest require your resting arm to rest ON your beverages - or, stranger still, require you to lift the arm rest to access the cupholders? What I'm hoping for is some sort of net or bin arrangement in the cargo area to keep groceries and other cargo from sliding around!
@Len The point I was trying to make is that - for now - the lower part of the center console is solid - no formed-in bins - so the "fabric" console cover with the zipper is what I was mentioning, not the backpack. Perhaps THAT is the "soft glovebox" he meant - a zippered pouch on the lower central console.
Yes, I know that there are aftermarket nets and containers - but they are designed for the car trunks and SUV cargo areas - NOT for the limited height of the Aptera rear compartment. Nets require anchor points to which they are attached - which is why it's probably best for Aptera to come up with something fit-to-requirement.
Yikes. The cupholder location seems very odd (almost unusable). The console cover seems bonkers as well. Unless it is impossible to put the cup holders further forward, I can’t make sense of any of it.
I am guessong that dark color ( padded?) panel might move from the top, covering the cop holder and open well, to the lower spot... but don’t know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One thing that's important to me is that the interior be functional. It all I see. The exterior color and design is for other people who didn't pay for it, so who cares :).
I'm really hoping the interior will be firmed up soon. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but for me a bad interior could easily be a deal breaker.
@Joseph DelVecchio What they're showing us is three color schemes for proposed interiors: There is, at present, only one completed interior - in the Vida color scheme - and that's in the first prototype vehicle. It's going to be some time before they make all the styling decisions, many of which depend upon engineering decisions - like the type and placement of airbags, etc.

Thank you! I don't know how I didn't see these before. Thanks for taking the time to share them
This was in the zoom meeting

You know the drill...
Just a rendering ”for now”
Hide stuff. People were asking about ways to avoid seeing their stuff
Maybe the induction charging for a cellphone is under there?
I suppose the zipper is access to the backpack
Jason mentioned what called a soft type if glove box somewhere?
He was only answering mainly pre sent questions and some of the hundreds coming in during zoom
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There are aftermarket stuff to secure groceries
Some with nets others are dividers ir boxes that velcro to cargo carpets, etc

From latest Zoom mtg
This is the VIDA interior
One if the three std interiors you can order:
