Case manufacturers... start your engine!
Cars could come in silver, gray, gold or pink. Case manufacturers will enable full-car-protection in various trendy colors.

I don't want to get a scratch on my car, its very expensive! So I cover it with a case that makes it twice as wide, and the door handles are more difficult to use. But I know if I have a light bump now i'm not going to scratch the paint work underneath!

Also, it'll have a fuel filler that that's completely incompatible with existing fuel pumps. MacRumors forums will blame the fuel industry for clinging to the past.

This is just goofy. No other word to describe it. It strays way too far from their product lineup. Not to mention, where would the car be displayed in the Apple stores?

It may stray too far away in terms of product categories, but keep in mind that in terms of dollars this might just be a nice addition.
Money doesn't stink.
Also, cars are the new smart home, just mobile.
And why would you want to give your money to someone else than Apple?
Let them grow a little more, maybe one day the world's got completely sucked dry of money and this place will be a better place again, where money doesn't matter, you trade and talk with neighbours again and Bob Marley will chant about the new peace on earth after he came down to earth with Jesus.
So go forth everyone, buy everything Apple and let this world become a money-freed place in this universe where peace and understanding will be the new currency.
Apple's just helping to expedite the process when they enter top-margin markets.

So, Apple won't venture into making their own TVs because of profit margins and customer upgrade cycle, but they're going to make a car....

Simple. They're just going to make sure that after 3 or 4 OS upgrades, your device is so laggy that there's either a solid 2 second delay for every action, or you can only go max 10mph cause it's just so slow.

Is there anything more ridiculous/pointless than all these new TLD's that no one is ever going to use and forces wealthy companies to purchase them to stop blackmail.

These days, you can't just buy Apple.(whatever domain) if you're not Apple; so it is a non issue.

All I know is it will be a "premium product" cost way more than the tesla, and will only really work in San Fransisco.

They would probably take the wheels off the car, and charge you 5000 bucks for an adapter for them.

We'll probably have to wait for the Apple Car 2 to have wiper blades, this time they will be 30% more thinner than the competitors and will be 10% lighter.
