well the tire popped, gotta replace the entire car.
You have to roll it over to reach the charging port on the underside
Will it have Windows though?
There are over 200 billion reasons why I wouldn't make fun of Apple and actually take this seriously.

They already have the brand. Maybe this will be the huge push for electric cars?

Or maybe this'll be another way for hipsters to display elitism without a prius
It wouldn't surprise me if Apple offered a better battery that could go an extra 5 miles for an extra $10,000.

List a couple. You've got a big list to choose from apparently, shouldn't be too difficult.
If you install non-apple brakes the calipers lock to the rotors because they use custom brakepad firmware.
Non apple tires and the car stops, complains of non-apple tires, and refuses to move.
Updates itself without telling you and will stop you on the highway to do so.
Starting price of $100,000 and highest price at $2,000,000 for a gold plated "luxury" edition.
And the reveal show will go like this
"Look at this new thing we invented. We call it an [I]Auto[/I]Mobile."

1. It's the biggest company and brand in the world.
2. Their total assets worth is almost at 300 billion dollars. They have a whole lot of spare money just lying around waiting for investments.
3. Compared to that Tesla's 7 billion looks...well, cute.
In short, Apple is huge and has unlimited resources.

If I remember correct, Tesla offer battery upgrades exactly like that. Not extra 5 miles, more, i guess, but still.

First one is false, second one is very arguable.

I stand corrected. But my point still stands.

I'm not 100% so I'm paraphrasing but I think Tesla offer an extra 70 miles for around £5000 I think, don't quote me though.

That would be the windows car.
It would let you start driving to work, but then in the middle of the road it would completely stop and update without consulting you first.

Ya know, being popular and having lots of money does not guarantee a single damn thing.
I wonder if auto-pilot will drive people into a lake

If it's anything like its phones, it will lose power every year and become slugish due to updates.

Looks like a white version of this [t]http://www.smallcargotrailers.com/ATV%20trailer.jpg[/t]
I'm gonna laugh if more tech companies get on board and Microsoft makes the OneCar™
Which has the tendency to randomly crash it self into walls and hassles you to trade it up to the new one every half a day.
Honestly tho apple getting into the electrocar bizness is great for it because usually when apple does something it gets adopted by the general masses
Apple is definitely the right company to do this.
Still , they have to do it [I]right[/I]. As to whether or not they can, however... These jokes people are making aren't unfounded.

As long as they don't make it look obnoxious.

this will finally become real
Proprietary lug nuts with $150 lug wrench.
Sealed shut engine bay. Wiper fluid only replaceable by Apple Geniuses.
It'll be called the Apple Move.
They'll then sue Tesla for patent infringement on cars with rounded edges, claiming they thought of it first 40 years ago.
Oh, if you go to a non-apple service center it voids your warranty.
This is fun. :v:
