No reason to buy Tesla. They don't have any technology that every other auto manufacturer already has access to.

to much focus on watchbands.
Really - Apple won't be able to drop support for any car - no matter the year - I have both a 2002 and 2008 honda's and both are getting recall airbag replacementsof course it has. if you look at my post history, i've said that target date was WAY to premature. Its a car. Honda has been doing it for years and i've got a recall for a airbag with them.
Apple needs to take this super slow. i still think 2025-2030 is more reasonable.

You'll be crying even more when he starts to gut the liberal establishment as they are brought to court.Crying real tears. I can't stop laughing!
Tesla has significant IP concerning electric vehicles. Electric cars have been fought at for decades.No reason to buy Tesla. They don't have any technology that every other auto manufacturer already has access to.
It's a vicious circle: Tesla can't sell cars because Teslas are too expensive, but Tesla can't scale its business to make its cars more affordable because Tesla can't sell cars.
If you could buy a Tesla, would you? I probably would. I think a lot of people would.
There's a big difference between long-rumored and long-ago rumored. I haven't heard anyone float the Apple Television rumor in quite some time.Cool.
Remind me, when is that rumored Apple Television coming out?

Well don't let us stop you.
The Tesla Model 3 starts at $35k. Before government incentives.
After incentives, $27k.
Oh, and Tesla has taken $5K deposits on 370,000+ Model 3s.
What are you waiting for?
This is where the Tesla Model 3 breaks that cycle. They are approaching a half million units of pre-orders. That puts them in the high volume line matching the major automotive manufacturers. Thus, Tesla becomes big oil's worst nightmare. That is a daily driver electric car that middle America can afford while it noticeably compromises big oil's volume. Apple sees this trend and wants to be a part of it.Exactly. For most people, there's a huge difference between wanting to buy a Tesla and being able to afford one.
Oh really? How about their vast network of Superchargers? Other manufacturers can make an electric car, sure. But what are they going to do / what have they done about nationwide charging? Tesla already has the network.
And what about batteries? Where are these manufactures going to get their batteries on a large scale? Tesla has already built a dedicated battery factory whose output will soon eclipse the output of all current lithium ion battery manufacturers.
And how about their autopilot which utilizes fleet learning from every single Tesla on the road. What other manufacturer has done or is doing that? None that I know of.
I have no doubt that other manufacturers will be able to compete with Tesla. But in many respects, Tesla is way, way, way ahead of the game.
That's the point. It seemed like a sure thing that the Apple Television would be a reality, but it was ultimately cancelled. I think the car will have the same fate.There's a big difference between long-rumored and long-ago rumored. I haven't heard anyone float the Apple Television rumor in quite some time.
Tesla has significant IP concerning electric vehicles. Electric cars have been fought at for decades.
Something like 80% of all automobiles are driven less than 100 miles a day. The battery technology is finally here were we can have a mass network of daily driving cars recharging in millions of garages across the country.
However, that would kill of 80% of the gasoline market totally compromising the oil companies. Oil companies has been effectively a cartel keeping petroleum dominant for the vehicle energy market.
Other alternative energy sources (grain alcohol, electricity battery, low friction flywheels, fuel cells, compressed air and -- my fav -- miniature Thorium reactors) have been suppressed to keep the the oil volume flowing and the per unit cost low. Things are changing. How Apple enters into this is a big question.
