Just don’t end up like my friend. Got sideswiped last October, still waiting for replacement parts from Tesla. Bought his car in September and so far got 1 month of usage from it.
Model X definitely does not have “the same, boring 4-door design”.
Says the guy who designed this:
Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen recently commented on Apple's design principles and product launches, lamenting that Apple doesn't deliver something "to look forward to."
During a podcast interview with Spike Feresten of Spike's Car Radio (via iPhone in Canada and Sawyer Merritt), Holzhausen said that Apple's devices are "just a continuation" and a "slight refinement on the same thing."
He also said that he "hates to say it" but he wears an Apple Watch "just because of the fitness thing side to it. Otherwise I haven't really found much purpose to it, other than the fitness part."
Holzhausen is responsible for designing the Tesla Model S, the Model 3, the Model X, and the Model Y, along with the unreleased Cybertruck. He has been with Tesla since 2008, and before that, he was the chief of design at Mazda and led the design of the Mazda Kabura concept car.
Apple and Tesla have a long history of poaching employees from one another, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also publicly sniped at Apple. Back in 2015, Musk famously called Apple the "Tesla Graveyard," and claimed that "if you don't make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple."

Ummm...no I haven't. Not even sure what plegerizing is, but my content was entirely my own. What have I supposedly 'pleged'?
Tesla says Apple doesn’t make enough changes?
The yoke looks terrible for city driving…but it’s cool and that trumps function
yeah its not great but still prefer it to the model 3/y/x in the looks dept. I’d go with the S550 Mustang any day , well the 2015-17 or shelby ones, they ruined the grill on the latest ones lol
As an apple investor, comments like these actually excite me because the competition is tipping their hand that their worried. The last time we saw competing brands feel the need to put apple down like this was when the iPhone first launched, and we all know how that worked out.
Do Apple investors actually think Apple is going to sell a car or do they think Apple is going to sell a Car Share service?
as I read your post on my laptop with 21 hours of battery life on brand new industry-changing silicon with an incredible HDR screen at 1600 nits operating at barely 86 degrees Fahrenheit with no fans whatsoever. This thing is so innovative it feels like magic. Literally, what the hell are you talking about?
One of my major concerns about the independent EV manufacturer, after sales support. The current vehicle manufacturers have the support infrastructure already in place. My first question before buying an EV, or any new vehicle. How do I get this car maintenance done. Asked the question recently. Wife said how about a Mini Cooper. The answer, all service needs to be done at a Mini dealer. That involves a 100 mile round trip Just to have the oil changed. Scratch the Mini Cooper from the look at list. The same will happen if Apple starts selling a car. How does one get this car maintenance done.
Where is the cybertruck? Where is the roadster? Where is the semi? What happened to Tesla roofs?
I think you’re shortchanging things. I consider the iPad, ultra thin but powerful laptop w/o optical drive, and AirPods to be rather revolutionary. Each certainly was revolutionary for me; I felt the iPad was going to be a hit the moment I heard rumor of it, but I mocked the AirPods and MacBook Air initially, only to be pleasantly surprised after I was “converted” and saw the light.
