That is Foxconnâs business. To offer manufacturing service to OEMs for electronics. They donât make their own products. So their only business to make money by assembly of other OEMs products.
Auto business is different. I believe all auto companies do their own manufacturing and assembly. Not aware of any auto manufacturer that contract out their service. So will take a new business model to get someone to make Apple cars.
Conservative bullish count for AAPL⌠Major top at $171-$182. The aggressive target range is $200-$250⌠ignore these targets till price action tells us is relevant.
AAPL hardly moves, it seems many @manch wannabe think Apple is late to the market as market leaders like NokiaTSLA and BlackBerryRIVN wonât let Apple just come in to take market share. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is very eager to unload TSLA shares, finding excuses to sell⌠to pay tax, to challenge Bernie, etc. @manch wannabe are happily buying up Elonâs sold shares. Go figure.
Josh made an intelligent opinion, âIâll buy an Apple carâ 
Apple was one of the first companies if not the first to ship personal computers. First to ship one with GUI. Invented touch screen based smart phone that doubles as a computer. Invented tablet.
The only product that it was late but caught up were MP3 players and smart watch. But both were niche products that sold in small quantities before Apple.
Is that the case when Apple finally ships its EV in maybe 2025?
So you want to analogy Apple Car to iPod and Apple Watch?
I am thinking of comparing with iPhone.
I speculate that Doug Field has leaked some secrets to Elon Musk in a private setting.
Are you implying Elon got scared of Apple coming in and sold TSLA stocks?
Hedging is always wise. He has up to 2025 to handover his CEO job⌠he hinted 
wonder why he wants to⌠ofc, new endeavor 
If it were the old Apple of Steve Jobs and Jony Ive I would give Apple a shot. Both are gone. So Apple has zero chance succeeding in EV.
Tim Apple is more focused on flooding the market with ever finer product segmentation of Pro/Max/Air and whatnot, and suing its own customers to protect the 30% Apple tax.

On further thought, you are right because Apple Car is not just an EV. It would be like iPhone, an iPod, a phone, and an Internet communicator. So Apple Car is a Car, a ⌠and a ⌠filled up the blank if you know. Anyhoo, all the while, I didnât think Apple Car is just an EV (may be not BEV too)⌠you can verify by searching through past posts.
More than 1 year ago Jean Liu brokered the $1B AAPL investment in Didi.
Recently, âŚ
Liu, 43, has in recent weeks told some associates that she expected the government to eventually take control of Didi and appoint new management, said the two sources.
Cathie Who? There is no way Elon Musk would sell TSLA at the time to AAPL, AFAIK, Elon was asking 10x the market cap then⌠not sincere to sell at all. Stop talking non-sense
Tim could have done what Bezos did. Invest in Tesla to take de facto control. But Tim didnât even bother to meet with Elon. That obviously was an error. Steve Jobs would at least take the meeting and maybe even gave Elon a lecture.
Cathie,
Please focus on managing your ARK funds. ARKK is crashing! despite your constant bragging of getting TSLA right and is your largest holding. Seem like TSLA is holding ARKK up, otherwise, it is worth nearly zero.

Is not an error. Meeting with Elon will both give credence to TSLA and be insulted by Elon. Stupid. Frankly, listening to the suggestion by people who say should meet and should buy make me 
Go and understand big business game before commenting. Elon Musk is a very shrewd man, he played it well, meeting or not meeting him, he scored huge political points. He played politicians and his cult followers like puppets and zombies.
You are damn right. But that meeting wonât occur because if late SJ is around, TSLA is a goner.
Something you should do, something you shouldnât do.
Recall I ask you why other war lords didnât go to save the emperor in exile and only Cao Cao and Liu Bei went looking. Is for the very same reason why Tim Cook didnât want to meet with Elon Musk.
