You're right! Everyone is out to screw you, you braindead MAGA dumbf**k. Better start stocking up on guns and MRE's and crawl into your bomb shelter so you can wait for the world to end. What a loser!

Quote from: ChrisGX on September 07, 2022, 05:20:33There is no similarly between partnering to produce automobiles and partnering to produce the iPhone. Very high volume contract manufacturing and assembling (between otherwise separate companies) are normal features of the semiconductor and comsumer electronics trades. Nothing like that exists in the automotive world. And, nothing like that exists for good reason. The automaker (if it is a high volume manufacturer) is the designer, integrator, manufacturer and final assembler of the products of the business. Manufacturing plant and engineering frameworks are often purpose built. Also, all primary actions leading to the the finished product proceed according to an ordered series of inseparably related processes under the one roof. It isn't possible for an automobile designer to offload all of the costs of manufacturing to a lesser contract manufacturing partner. There are no lesser contract manufacturing partners. You will never get a manufacturing  partner if that is your game.

To make its own car Apple must either a) build its own auto factory or buy an existing factory from some other automaker, or b) enter into a joint venture that requires initial investment at a level expected to be line with the nature and scale of intended operations, or c) have the car built by a boutique engineering house (at great cost for every unit).

Your a brainwashed dumbass!

Blow that battery powered junk pile up! Just another electric gimmick that will never be better than a gasoline powered vehicle!  Global warming is one big government hoax to take more money from tax payers by a fear and control factor that the world is ending!  Eat Dirt Greta Thunburg you little brainwashed Libtard!  Old school still and always will rule the planet!  Wake up idiots!

I hope apple doesn't leave our key features from their cars like they do their phones.
WHI BUILDS A PHONE WITHOUT ALPHA NUMERIC DIALING, ITS LIKE BUILDING A CAR WITHOUT WHEELS.

I do not think we will see a car from Apple before 2026 if ever!
They seem to have a pretty good in-car system that may or may it get exceptance into new cars over the next few years.. they should stick with that and leave the car industry to those that know about the hassels of manufacturing them!!
