My impression is that building a car involves a fairly different set of skills (ie: pretty much everything except the dashboard) than Apple has.
The thought of bringing in 95% new-hires to work on a project in which your company has no experience... I mean, why?
If the primary motivation is money, without sufficient passion, good luck competing with Tesla - where they live and breath electric cars.
- briandear 10y agoWhat were Tesla people doing before they made cars? We could have made this argument comparing Tesla to GM a few years ago.
- charlesism 10y agoMy point about experience is that it's not Apple building this car, it's basically a new group at Apple handicapped by poor motives. In the context of my comment, Tesla's answer to "why" was a bit more inspiring than "we need to enter a new market because our existing markets are saturated"
