Apple is pretty good at scale manufacturing and lithium batteries and metal and better at AI than any car company except Tesla. Electric cars are much simpler

Electric cars are much simpler than ICE ones. So they have a chance...

A car without an ICE is a reduced complexity space to engineer a vehicle in. I'll bet they can figure out how to iterate from an electric mule to a safe vehicle just fucking fine. People unfamiliar with the auto industry may also be surprised to learn just how many parts on a Model S tesla doesn't make. But an ICE? Fuck I wouldn't want to start that war with zero patents.
