Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhausen recently commented on Apple's products and designs, lamenting that Apple did not offer something "worth looking forward to" and that Apple's devices were "just a continuation of the previous generation" and "a little improvement in the same thing."
In an interview with a podcast, the designer said: "The sad thing about Apple products right now is that there's nothing to look forward to. I think it's just doing a continuation, just a little bit of an improvement on the same thing. In terms of inspiration and innovation, it's hard for them to be motivated by what they're doing. He also mentioned that although he hated saying it, he wore the Apple Watch just for fitness, and other than that, he didn't really find any other purpose.
It is understood that the designer has been working at Tesla since 2008, responsible for designing Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model y, and unreleased Cybertron trucks.
Tesla and Apple "mouth-to-mouth" is also a long history, not to mention that the two companies have long been poaching each other, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also publicly ridiculed Apple.
In 2015, Musk called Apple "Tesla's grave" and claimed that "if you don't succeed at Tesla, you're going to work at Apple." Not long ago, after Apple launched the "sky-high" polishing cloth, Tesla also launched a high-priced whistle, Musk called, "Don't buy Apple's sky-high polishing cloth, come and buy our cyber whistle."
