Apple spent 10 years trying to launch a car. China's Xiaomi just did it in 3.

copy Orionz thread in HWZ.

What I feel is Apple felt it's not worth making at this point, esp with competition from so many other EVs

at some point,a company needs to r&d and decide if it's worth to pursue


building EV is like starting a new planet and incorporating it into their ecology (the galaxy or universe)

ya and as some people said, the material and time building a phone rakes in more profit than EVs

actually I also feel EV wouldnt survive, hybrid or some form of cleaner fuel would

Apple pulled the plug on its electric-vehicle project last month.

One of its biggest Chinese smartphone rivals has announced plans to start selling EVs.

Xiaomi's first EV goes on sale at the end of this month in China.

Last month, Apple called it quits on its electric-vehicle dream. This month, one of the iPhone maker's biggest rivals in China is showing it how it's done.

The Beijing-based smartphone maker Xiaomi is set to do what Apple could not after it announced plans to start selling its first line of EVs, the Speed Ultra 7 — known as the SU7 — on March 28 in nearly 30 cities across China.

Not defending Apple but I think they are quite a perfectionist coy hence the 10 yrs before ultimately pulling the plug
Xiaomi on the other hand is well known to copy paste
