If Tesla made it, Apple can too. From what I understand they already invested a lot of money in research for their car. It seems strange to just let go of that

  Sometimes, you do a lot of research just to tell you that you shouldn't do something too... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Yes, Dyson invested a ton of money just to discover they couldn't compete with their EV. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/james-dyson-his-companys-cancelled-electric-car-project https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/james-dyson-his-...

  sunk cost fallacy, just because money was spent doesnt mean more money spent is justifiable

  That could be money spent building fully functioning prototype cars to attract a partner and/or experimenting with AI, Lidar, etc. to see what kind of breakthroughs they could offer... Or even seeing if they can design a car that can be serviced as easily as an iPhone by replacing large parts. ... Or maybe they're really doing 100% a car. ... Just that in their history they never jumped so completely into a wholly new kind of product with such complex logistics... so I find it hard to see it as a sure thing.
