They aren’t. Start reading news elsewhere. Ford had lost billions on EV’s that no one wants. All manufacturers are cutting back on their plans. EV’s time has come and gone, again.It might seem an odd decision when the entire automotive industry is moving to electric, semi-autonomous vehicles – but instead of gaining a head start in the market maybe half a decade ago, today Apple is up against everybody, not just Tesla, Lucid, Polestar, Rivian, MG et al, with every single auto maker launching new EVs seemingly on a daily basis. I wonder what finally prompted the decision?
Yep, over 100 years ago there were EV’s, and they still are a terrible idea. Didn’t make it then, not making it now. Perfect car for people that don’t go anywhere or have anything to do. That “child“ is so ugly governments need to tie thousand dollar bills around their neck just to get people to play with them, and even still they don’t.That's your takeaway?
You realize that the *first* cars were actually electric. Gas-powered eventually took over because of the technology at the time, and the powerful oil industry influences. We're now suffering the consequences of that, and it's time for burning fossil fuels to become extinct. We need to evolve.
Wait when did we all start hating on Elon? He’s the golden child. Oh wait forgot he bought Twitter and now he’s Dr. Doom. 😄🙄Because we hate Elon and Teslas. Also because we love Apple and Apple Services. What kind of a question you are asking on an Apple enthusiast forum?
Humans and computers has been cooperating together for a long time now when it comes to driving, they make up for our shortcomings. I don't see that changing in the future.No one will be able to figure it out. Human beings will be better drivers than computers for the foreseeable future.
Everytime I’d criticize this some fanboy would come in with the “Apple can do two things at once!1!!” schtick.
Yes, Chinese cannot do it, but Apple canThey’d need regulatory approval in the US and be able to scale up to hundreds of millions of units.
NIO it isFast swap batteries seem like a great idea.
And with this, they(Jeff W.) made a massive mistake..The lukewarm response to Vision Pro must have spooked them. Can't take multiple failures in short periods, I guess.
Apple should just purchase some good car builders, and put their software into it. It will sell like hot cakes.It seems like Lucid is out there waiting to be purchased.
Lucid has released some of the best-engineered cars on the planet. If Apple is completely giving up on cars, they've sunk a lot of money and manpower. It hasn't been for a lack of trying.
Lucid's market cap is $7.29B. A $15 to $20B deal could get something done by letting Lucid still use their name, not unlike Beats.
Probably will be a while before it's wildly profitable, however, if at all. Ultimately, Apple's decided it's not worth it.
I agree, no one at Apple seems excited to be building a car. Who is going to push the project if they don’t really know what to do?It was obvious for a while that they'd never catch up.
All (or allmost all) of their manufacturing know-how is at 3rd-parties.
Tesla needed a decade to be able to build decent cars at a sustainable profit. And they had Elon to sleep on the factory floor.
Like him or not, Elon can drive people up and beyond their limits like only Steve Jobs could. And for such a project, you need an absolutely crazy, driven guy at the top.
And with this, they(Jeff W.) made a massive mistake..
The previous mistake was going with an AR headset rather than a pair of glasses.
Starting to see the trend here
I think Apple should invest into skyscrapers instead!
Hmmm...I'd assume they would have just bought some other car company.

they didn't need to build a revolutionary car, they didn't need to build an autonomous car, they just need to build a good carI think the car was a Jobs/Ive project. I recall reading about how they and several other Apple executives were driving Teslas early on and commenting about how it was basically like “driving a MacBook.” That seems to have been the genesis of the idea. But as we’ve seen, Apple under Tim Cook isn’t an idea factory so it’s no surprise they found no inspiration in continuing the project.
In fact, is Tim Cook really inspired by ANYTHING? He doesn’t even seem all that sold on the Vision, even though he (allegedly) forced it out before the engineering team thought it was ready. He appears to think of Apple devices only as product categories on a ledger, not as inspiring things that make life magical.
