Known pre-orders
From Apterawiki
Here is a graph of the "known" Reservations.
On August 1st, Aptera split the Reservations into two lists,
an E-list for the "e" orders and an H-list for the "h" (Hybrid) orders.
(I added 500 to the H-List numbers so they would show up better.)
(I added 1000 to the "old" Reservation #s so they would show up better.)
(The white squares are guesses, just for fun.)
