Apple needs to buy Tesla and run it better than Elon Musk can right now. He's overloaded himself with responsibilities.
Apple could do a lot of good by applying their skills to such an important problem. And Tesla's have been called "laptops on wheels" which has some truth it. They have the money, people, and management skill to do it well. Tesla has the industry lead that Apple needs to get in the race.
First thing Tim Cook would do is cancel the semi project, I'd guess. But maybe not.
- nodesocket 9y agoI'd say Elon is doing just fine. The semi business long term could be a game changer that propels Tesla beyond a car company. Think fleets, partnerships with FedEX, UPS, DHL, long haul companies, van lines moving companies, Amazon deliveries. Lot's of very lucrative business opportunities. Also, the pickup truck market in the United States is huge, Tesla is getting into that as well.

- johansch 9y agoIt's too utilitarian and not aspirational enough.
- gear54rus 9y agoAnything but apple, that would be the worst that can happen. I hope they don't teach Tesla with their closed consumer enslaving "tech"
- telltruth 9y agoYeah, and the first thing Jonny Ivy would do is make car more thinner and beautiful while completely screwing up battery life and usability. No thanks. If it was in my hand I will take iPhone out of Apple (or wherever Ivy is employed) and give to Musk instead.
