Apple’s business model won’t work with an electric car.
A unique, patented electrical outlet and power cord and being unable to replace the battery.
BTW, I’m an Apple fan, own several.
At this point we really don’t know what is in the works, although it does appeared to be related to an automobile. And you know that Apple isn’t going to “spill the beans” on what they’re doing ahead of time ... so this talk about what they’re doing is just a lot of speculative talk.
AND ... as Apple has said before, they’ll have a thousand “no” answers versus one “yes” answer on what they actually end up developing. A lot of the research and development they do won’t end up as a product, in other words.
