The “Model A” can drive 200 miles and can fly 110 miles. flying car production is slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, with deliveries following shortly after.
Although the Model A isn’t due out for at least another two years, people are already lining up for their chance to get one. Alef announced Tuesday that pre-orders for its first flying electric car had reached 2,500, up from 400 at the end of the year, representing $750 million in revenue once delivered.
The company began pre-orders for the $300,000 Model A in October, with the option to put down $150 for the regular queue or $1,500 for priority.
The orders include 2,100 deposits from individuals and agreements with businesses to sell 400 cars, including with a California car dealership. Alef is now the first in history with pre-orders to sell a modern aircraft through a car dealership.
Alef’s CEO, Jim Dukhovny, commented on the milestone, saying:
"We’re excited to see such strong initial demand for the Alef flying car. We’re are thankful for the notes of gratitude and inspiration we received with some of the pre-orders. We still have a road to go before starting deliveries, but where we’re going, we don’t need roads."
The Model A is designed to carry one or two passengers who can drive on public roads with included vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.
