Gets great economy on the road. You can laugh at gas stations for hundreds of miles!
Driverless, I suppose.
Kia has gotten to where they make very reliable cars.
It’s a good sign that Apple picked Kia.
Don’t want a car that might cancel me for my political views.
Pass. Dont want a car to “not cooperate” when I click on Parler or Gab on the dashboard.
Hyundai Motor Co. board (and related people) are divided on this matter.
Servicing the brand, is a big problem.
Apple does not have the automotive service system experience, while consumer-ism is likely to blame the automaker.
How does Hyundai defend itself, when Apple screws up?
My Ram 1500 will go 475 miles if I keep it below 70 miles an hour. At 80 it will give me 400 miles. When an electric Truck will do this at the same price and recharge the batteries in 5 minutes all at the same price I will buy it.
With today’s technology that will not happen.
The real deal is energy density. Hydrocarbons have the greatest energy density, we call that gasoline and diesel or in the airlines Jet-A. There is a damn good reason 777s run on Jet A and turbines, batteries are heavy, very heavy.
Enthalpy is good, Entropy always wins.
Next week’s stack of EOs from the Joseph Stolen dictatorship will have something to kill that. Wait for it!
Just great. I live close enough to that plant to hit it with a rock. Now I’ll have to dodge all these little robotic Yapadoodles on top of the yokel drivers.
Where an electric-smart Tesla might go for $100,000, a similarly equipped iCar will go for $200,000.
Autonomous autos otta be automatics.

What Kia brings to the party is an assembly line that makes car-size objects. Once Apple has this how far behind do you think flying cars and delivery drones are?
And it sets up a clash with Elon on two fronts. One is cars, but the second is internet. The natural competitor to Starlink is a car-sized box of electronics slung under an aerostat.
Sure, way out in the boonies the satellites are good. But where population density exceeds a certain value an earth-based system is less expensive.
Microsoft is coming out with a car, too.
If anything goes wrong you just close all the windows and open them back up again.
Hmmm... What could possibly go wrong? Snicker...
