If it were about supply chains, Apple would do it.
- et2o 7y agoCars are hugely complex, regulated, expensive, relatively low-margin products. Many parts are outsourced to subcontractor firms. So a lot of manufacturer success actually does come to supply chain management.
- puranjay 7y agoYour average iPhone uses nowhere near as many parts and partners as even a mid-range car. Plus, the iPhone doesn't have to go through rigorous crash testing, pass environmental regulations, and deal with entrenched lobbies. The automobile industry is over a hundred years old. There are deeply entrenched players, unions, etc. that Apple would never want to deal with. Besides, profit margins on cars tend to be crappy, at least for anything with any mass appeal
