Colorado Coffinmaker Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 We can expect Apple to field an Electric Car. Apple has been hiring every engineer they can get their hands on. Just a matter of time. Elon Musk says he has no doubt Apple is in the development stages. Watch This Space REALLY fun Vid Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yeah, that makes sense. The nearest Apple Store is over a hundred miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Howdy Friend of mine had a BMW electric car. Cruise range was a real problem but expected. When it got hit he found out there are a very limited number of tool kits for making repairs. And parts were sold in kits as well. If the kit was missing a seal there was no way to order just a seal. The dealer had to order a whole kit and hope the new kit had the seal. Not something I need. It seems to me that it would work better if the battery could be removed and a fresh charged one installed. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple includes lightning cables with its products. Of course the one meter cable will be too short and you will have to buy a longer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Most people can't back into a parking straight now. I can just see some of them trying to back the thing so precisely up to the charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best CR I saw something on Discovery Channel, probably 20 years ago about that. The plan was to have electric cars using a common battery pull up to a 'kiosk", for lack of a better word, and swap out an expended battery for a charged one.

My boss has considerable business interest in China. His last trip there his host was driving him around in an electric car. Battery was getting low, he called a station for a fresh battery. Drove in, car went onto a lift, a few bolts out, robot took the old battery out, put a fresh on in. Half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
