This from the idiot who designs a car with no speedometer or instrument cluster and all the controls including the windshield wipers on a asinine touch screen.

I'd rather drive a 1972 pinto than anything from Tesla.

They didn't take orders for it and then not ship it.
AirPower stands out because Apple never cancels products after they are announced. It's the exception that proves the rule. And they canceled it because it didn't meet their standards. Apple certainly could have, say, released something half-baked and called it a "beta"...

Tesla still hasn't shipped Cybertruck, Semi, Roadster, real FSD- and they've accepted money for those things! Don't even get started on the Model 2, Tesla ATV, Tesla bot (lol), solar roof. It's not remotely comparable.
 
Apple innovated but most people are oblivious. The newest Apple innovation is a massive bluetooth mesh network that is supposed to be for Find My ... and Air Tags. In fact, the new network is scarfing up data on everyone and their locations constantly. You can't turn off this network with the Bluetooth off switch either. Apple invented the greatest privacy threat in the history of the world. By the way, the new mesh network reaches out 200 feet from every iphone.

Not like the cell service your phone gets is any worse, and they actually sell your data.
 
Wow! Is this guy really calling out Apple like that? Is this a joke?

Trending at 2.8+ Trillion dollars in the market today. This is Apple. Trust and believe Apple has been delivering ground break products. So, yes, there is something to look forward to. All eyes are on iPhone 14 :)

Not sure I'd equate market cap or corporate profits to innovative products, but yeah, this guy doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.
 
Those are just his opinions but here are some hard cold facts.

1. Tesla makes good EVs but average cars.
2. They (Tesla the Company) are over hyped and over valued and will find it really hard to compete once tax benefits for EVs dry up.
3. Elon Musk is a giant turd. Tim Cook is just a shrewd boring business exec in comparison.
You do realize that Tesla doesn't receive any EV credits in the US?
 
Apple's descended into the darker depths of "form follows function." <shudder>

I'm grateful for Jonny Ive but feel that without Steve, things went in a much too slick, dainty direction. Apple has finally recovered from a family of hardware crippled (yes, crippled) by aesthetic decisions that trumped usability, especially for professionals.
 
That don't burn up when hit by a minor solar geomagnetic storm like 40 Starlink satellites just did. His comment embodies the smugness that oozes from Tesla, and some owners ?. One of my favorite Southpark episodes was about smug pollution in the Bay Area and Hybrids.
Considering the guy doesn't work for SpaceX, find it funny you now blasting a company he has no affiliation with.

The solar storm was more severe than predicted. The starlink satellites were in a vulnerable position given they just launched and didn't even have a chance to raise their obit to the intended operational location.

If you actually feel like learning something.....


Literally those 40 satellites and that Roadster sent up years ago are space junk.

The Starlink satellites will not be space junk. The orbit they were inserted into will naturally lead the satellites to reenter the atmosphere. Some of them already have......

This is by design so any malfunctioning starlink satellite will reenter within a few days and not end up as space junk.


As for the Roadster, something would have ended up as space junk either way since it was a test launch of the Falcon Heavy. If it wasn't a car, it would have been a block of cement to simulate the mass of an actual payload. Mass simulators are used on test launches of new launch vehicles.

Big changes over a decade right?.....
SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️ It looks almost the same. So identical.
 
Apple's market cap is an irrelevant statistic and does nothing to refute his statement.
Apple has been doing very well. They have been updating their product line and the revenue for the services has been up. So yeah, there is a lot to look forward to it. That market cap is just a prime example of how big Apple has become.

All 👀 on Apple to hit 3 Trillion dollar mark.
 
Hard to comment on this one.
On one hand a guy that helps design customer applicable solutions with very modern tech and on the other hand a company with long tradition in same field that from design standpoint (we're talking DESIGN here) is pretty much unchanged for past 15 years.

My 14" is first thing I really looked forward to from apple for yeeeeacrs and that's because of the chip not its design that got my belly tingling.
 
While there is some truth to the statement Tesla's have been relatively the same design with bigger batteries and faster engines, for the last decade....Hey kind of like the apple products with better battery life and faster processors.....
 
The irritating thing about this comment is that it's farging boring as farg. I get the sentiment, but at the same time it's a bit pathetic coming from someone in EVs. I mean, how could Apple just release a "continuation" of what they've been doing in EVs ffs??? ?

He's just regurgitating the same tired commentary (i.e., a "continuation" of a tech-world cliche). Also, where Apple has generally been most disruptive in the past is precisely when they release their take on existing tech. That's kinda their "thing", and they do it really well. (And anyone who thinks that's nothing—or that it's somehow cheating—is clueless about tech.... at least from a business perspective, if not an academic one.)
