Bloomberg: Apple targets 2028 release date for its own electric vehicle::Project Titan, the Apple electric car project, has been underway since 2015. But the project has faced numerous delays and…
- Proprietary charging ports/stations, $50/KWh.
- Increasingly slower acceleration as the vehicle goes out of warranty.
- Any attempt at repairing faults with the car is a breach of TOS.
- Turn signals, headlights, stereo… all features are $5/month on the Apple Store.
- Apple Maps will guide you into ravines and gardens.
Apple lovers would mortgage their home just to be on the waiting list.
- The underside is made of glass.
- You have to hold the steering wheel at 9 and 3 or it won’t work.
- Is only compatible with the Apple ecosystem of accessories such as wheels, tires, child seats etc.
Locks you out if it detects an Android device on you or any of your passengers.
Nonono! That’s not how “you’re holding it wrong works! It’s 11 and 7.
Charging port will be on the bottom and be non standard.
This is something that I probably won’t buy, but I’m curious to see what Apple would do with an instrument cluster.
Whatever your opinion of the business and products, it’s a hard argument to make against their tangible UI.
Thank god Balmer is no longer in charge of Microsoft or we would soon have a Microsoft car. It would look vaguely like the Apple car and have one unique feature that is so poorly implemented it is worthless.
