Relax, people are allowed to have an opinion on things. Not every argument against people wanting Apple to use a brand other than Hyundai and Kia has to go back to "Apple's automotive engineers knows best!".
Besides, maybe they are just a Nissan fan.
As for Nissan, I personally would be concerned about reliability. Although a lot of Nissan's reliability issues are trans-related, which would most likely be different different on an EV.
The CVT was big technological advancement Nissan made to switch to a continuous transmission from one with gears. There were problems for a few years but I believe they are resolved and they are on their third gen CVT. I never experienced it and I always had a warranty to go get the trans fixed if needed. They now program little jerks into the CVT so it feels like a mechanical transmission.
Nissan/Datsun also used to have a bad brand like Hyundai/Kia, but they are now up there with Toyota in my mind. Maybe Apple will do this for Hyundai/Kia as well.
Honda is another option as they have a really premium feel just like Apple projects. The Honda E already looks like a Apple Car. They just need the Honda i model.
