What are your thoughts on the Apple car?


Don’t know anything about it. The next thing I’ll celebrate is complete and universal automation of all vehicles. People can’t be trusted to operate these things, lmao. Don’t know why nobody is alarmed that this thing we’ve only had for like a hundred years or so is suddenly one of our leading causes of unnatural death. But like most things in modern human life, examining anything that causes emotional discomfort, or if the true solutions would result in increased physical discomfort, well, those discussions are usually summarily dismissed.
It looks like old Elan is going to get some competition. Not a bad thing, but the images I'm seeing don't really do it for me. We'll see what they look like when they get released. Though I do like the idea of going into the Apple store in the mall to buy a car. The absurdity of that tickles my funny bone.

I was unaware that there is an Apple car. I'm sure that there will be many who flock to it and sing its praises simply out of blind brand loyalty I don't really know anything about. it
Yes, I really want to buy a defective, overpriced, underpowered car that:
1. Cannot be repaired by anyone except Apple at the "Apple Garage"
2. Occasionally has the steering wheel fall off, but Apple denies this happens until several hundred people are killed.
3. To fix the steering wheel problem, Apple charges $ 3500 and has to keep your car for a month while a "genius" works on it. A loaner car is available for $ 400 per day, but its steering wheel keeps falling off.
Not as seek as the Bose Speaker car. Today's cars just can't match some of the older cars for style.


It will be insanely overpriced and overhyped, like all Apple products. There are alternatives available for every Apple item that function just as well at a fraction of the cost and the same will be true of any vehicle they market. They will sell regardless of the financial ripoff as there is a substantial number of status-conscious dweebs out there who willing piss away their money on anything with an Apple logo.
As Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute!".
I think the "hype" is a result of fundamentally how apple advertises, where a lot of companies advertise all year long with tons pf different models, apple has a limited set, often there are np special editions and it's only one time of the year so I think it's valid. As for overpriced, I don't think macs are overpriced (you can compare the prices if you so wish) and the new mac air is especially not. But as the arctic monkeys say if you so wish "don't believe the hype"
As its an electric car , the charger will , be sold separately. To reduce environmental pollution.
Apple: censors patriots; promotes Communism; promotes sexual perversion and paedophilia; has slave factories in China.
Hell will freeze over before I buy another Apple product.
I'm sure it'll be super but I have questions:
Does it get slower when a new model comes out?
Can only apple fix and maintain it.
Does getting wet void the warranty?
Does it have only one pedal?
Do you require a new, differently shaped key every six months?
How much does it cost?
If they are built/engineered to the same standard as the macbooks and their other products using none standard components, then the damn things will be falling apart as they leave the showroom dying at the smallest speck of rain, and the safety cage bending when somebody leans against it.
Apple cars are a thing? Apple needs to calm the fuck down with all these products
As of now no, but apple has been reportedly working on it for quite a while. I'm assuming people can get an idea from the hiring patterns and such
Oh great. Another overpriced product that has no compatibility and is built to force you to buy a new one every two years. By the industry leader no less.
Apple trying to get more 💰 jumping into a new market sector off the back of their technology.
I think they're also chasing patents to stop other tech firms doing the same.
Corporate Greed.
Haha stick to making phones and laptop accessories. Auto manufacturing is a completely different animal. Good luck 👍
With 190+ billion dollars in cash I think they'll manage just fine
Just because they have money don’t really mean they know how to build a car though.
Speaking as an electrical engineer for the automotive industry who’s been fixing Apple products for years, it’s safe to say that building a car is a completely different animal than their standard merchandise. There’s so much more into cars than a cell phone, laptop, etc it’s not even funny. There’s soo many different regulations to follow for different countries too because the laws for vehicles are heavily regulated. There’s much less room for error in making a vehicle too; recalls are a VERY serious problem.
I could go in and on but I find it humorous how Apple decides to try to make a vehicle 😆 maybe after a couple generations they’ll get it right 🤣
I think it would take a lot of time to do trial rides with an Apple Car
and a lot of investigating before you even purchase one and this could
be a new vehicle in about 10 years really hard to say?
I hadn't heard of it yet, but it sounds like a cool idea. I would love to have one of those. I'm sure it's wildly expensive though!
I'll wait until they can make a phone that actually works before I trust a car they made
If it ain’t got cruise control, sunroof, good bass speakers, and tinted windows I’m out
Just another big Apple tax dodge, is all.
Nothing will come of it.
Wdym? How!
* correction, how?
Just have to buy a new one every year because the new firmware makes it so you get very little gas mileage if you do not
Ironically Apple provides longer support in software updates than most of their competitors
Yet they update the firmware to make the battery run out faster for you buy a new phone.
Actually it's the opposite, they update the firmware so the cpu runs slowers so battery life cycles can be conserved and it's a setting so you can reverse it if you want.
That is not true they make it run out faster they been sued for this many times
There will be customers with either too much money or poor money management abilities (or both) who will buy one. A good time to be a business analyst at Apple Inc if this happens.
Stick to phones and tablets Apple every other one of your products suck
🤩🤩🤩🤩... OMG🤩🤩.. Yes.
I can spend unforgettable times with it😋😋
doesn't go offroad, can't go on the beach, can't take me camping and fishing. No thanks...
it's probably only gonna drive on "apple roads" and only gonna be able to refuel/recharge on apple stations... considering how apple runs their shit.
also if they do it as they do with all their tech, it's not gonna be fixable by 3rd party. so good luck having your car fixed, when it breaks down thousand miles from any apple store.
I am not getting it, like all other spple products it will be overpriced for what it does.
I figured it would be a rebadged Lada. Guess they're not marketing to the proletariat with this produkt...
I'm going to guess it will cost twice as much as a regular car, while not being upgradeable.
I think that it will only run with Apple electricity, and at a hugely oversized price?
To unlock the door you have to sign in with your Apple ID and password. After entering the information, it enters perpetual loading.
A drive in one a day, will keep the doctor away?🍎🍏
If it’s anything like their phones you couldn’t pay me enough to go near one
Probably like all Apple products: overpriced and anybody could easily find a better version for cheap.
I just heard about them teaming up with Hyundai. So I guess apple will help make a ridiculously simple modern OVERPRICED Hyundai now...
Dumbest idea. Apple only exists for their own profit. Not many people will ever cone close to afford one and we all know just the apple logo will cost 50% of their value of the car.
Horrific idea, given Apples fixation on being a sealed closed system.

Have you ever changed a battery on an Android phone? A microsoft phone? An iPhone?
Ever installed an app that wasn't from the Google Play Store on an Android phone? Ever installed an app that wasn't from the App Store on an iPhone?
Changed a battery? Yes. The later questions? No. But you can install them, companies don't need to facilitate when options are available, I don't really get what you're trying to say or slash what the point is
It's orders of magnitude more difficult to do anything (like change a battery) on an apple product like an iPhone.
Google "change iPhone battery" and you get...
Arrange a shipment to an Apple Repair Center and we'll replace your battery and deliver your iPhone back to you in approximately 6-8 business days. Make an appointment at one of our Apple authorized service locations
You know how a normal phone works? 30 seconds to change battery.
BIG DIFFERENCE
But still people buy that no so I still don't get what the point is. If it was that big of a problem not many people would buy it no. Secondly you can't do that even on Samsung or one plus flagships, it's not that companies what to intentionally restrict you, it's just where the design os going sleek and compact.
As much as I love Apple it's a no for me on this one.
Most likely will be ridiculously expensive and have a short life span.
It’s been rumored for like 10 years now. We don’t know anything about it
Well presumably you have to have the correct proprietary connector to put fuel in it, so no thanks.
I don't like there phones not going like there car either
I'm a samsung fan so I would not care... I'd rather fuck with Tesla.
I’m not even sold on Tesla’s until they work out maintenance issues.
That's a damn good question. Then again Apple does have the money to experiment, so who knows?
I hope it tastes good.
Depends on how strong you can bite obviously
I don't like Apple, and I've never really liked them.
Wada fac i Didn’t think it was real
As of now it's not, but apple has been reportedly working on it for quite a while. I'm assuming people can get an idea from the hiring patterns and such
An Apple car, but it will still have Windows.
They are creating a monopoly
Monopoly how
They’re working in confluence with one another and governments fo take over the business sector.
One bump and it's all done.
I'm very disappointed it's not made out of apples
I need that biscuit
I can’t wait to see what comes of it. 😬
Does it still have windows? Hehe
I prefer Diesel truck
Sounds awesome might be a hit.
I didn’t even know this was a thing
They'll only be available to liberals. LOL
@ChefPapiChulo
I'm going to have to delete this, because you're the biggest ass on the site. I've told you this before, and I'm telling you again. You reap what you sow in this world.
@imthequeen
I know you're smart enough to know this, but Apple pulled the plug on Parler. They did it because it was primarily geared towards conservatives. They don't want conservatives to have a voice on social media. But I don't have to tell you this, because you follow the news and you already know all about it.
@ChefPapiChulo
Payback is a bitch. You delete me, and I delete you. You reap what you sow.
@ChefPapiChulo
You're making it painfully obvious that you do care.
I'm not sure you understand how companies work, companies are not people and apple in particular has highly distributed ownership. For an agenda to exist you need a reason or at least a person who can successfully apply his own agenda. I don't know why so many people think companies care about people and political parties. As a wise person once said, "show me the incentives and I'll show you the future"
You must have missed my "LOL" at the end. I'm sure you don't even know what my joke was in reference to.
Looks dumb for a smart car
It’s epic but not needed at all
I'm wondering if it's compatible with my Android.
dont go to fast or its gonna crack
I guess it was only a matter of time
Probably has facial recognition to start the car too
