Full disclosure, I am long AAPL. I’m starting to get nervous, tho, about the idea of an iCar, or what I refer to as “the Apple cart.”

Not a fan of battery powered automobiles. The gasoline and diesel vehicles of the past still dominate in the present, for good reason. I admit that all it would take is new technology enabling an efficient, cheap, light battery to make me reconsider in a big way. But I’m not holding my breath.

Well ... Apple hasn’t said they are building a car (of any kind) ... and ... Apple won’t be announcing it either, because they never announce what they are in the process of making. What you’re reading about it (i.e., that they are making one) is pure speculation and does not come from Apple.

The day you’ll be able to find out if Apple is making a car is when they announce it for sale. Until then, it’s nothing but pure guessing!

Ask yourself, seriously, if you can imagine standing in the middle of a modern American city in 10 years and not looking down the street at a majority of oil-powered vehicles. It ain't gonna happen. Twenty years out?

As Rush likes to point out, all of those 'electric' cars are coal-fired.
