Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Whatever the approach, it's safe to say we won't find out much more until Apple is absolutely ready. GoMentum, in keeping with its military roots, has armed guards stations at the facility 24 hours a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) If its electric I certainly wouldn't trust their battery life to be as advertised Edit due to typo Edited August 15, 2015 by Fodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 If I was a betting man, I'd guess they'll be teaming up with someone else who already makes cars and then bolting stuff on for autonomy. Merits of EVs aside (I think there's a thread somewhere on it ) these things are the future and apple makes a fortune marking up on quality hardware as it is, so it's a natural progression for an outfit with more cash reserves than, well, anyone!

ilogikal1 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 If I was a betting man, I'd guess they'll be waiting for Samsung to do it properly before rebranding the technology at a massive mark up. FTFY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangzoom Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Apple is probably just wondering what to do with their $180 billion cash reserve. I'm surprised they haven't tried to buy Tesla, which at the moment is burning through cash as $300-400 million per quarter and only have a predicted $1.5 billion in the bank, and will carry on their cash burn for the next 18-24 months. But despite that Morgan and Stanley have just put a target share price of over $500 dollars per share on Tesla stock - double at its current rate. That puts Tesla's market value at bigger than Ford, despite producing less than 50,000 cars per year....Some might call that a 'bubble', the stock market is one crazy place!!! Infact Apple has enough cash to go and buy out BMW without too much hassle, and have change left to buy out half of Greece!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
