As Tesla's stock price continues to rise, more and more technology manufacturers are engaged in the field of new energy vehicles, even Apple is no exception.
It is understood that after ten years of car building, Apple finally has to go down in person. Apple was preparing to build a car production line in the United States last year, and has begun to discuss technical specifications and other issues with global automotive electronics suppliers, and it is expected that by 2024-2025, the "Apple Car" will be officially unveiled. In this regard, Gene Munster, an analyst at Loup Ventures, bluntly said that Apple will be Tesla's biggest competitor.
Back in 2014, Apple has been looking to build its own car, but to this day, people have not waited for the shadow of an Apple car. But now, Apple's car-making plan is accelerating, some insiders broke the news that "the Apple Car model is similar to Tesla, the market supply chain overlap rate is high, and based on Apple's strong control of the supply chain, it should quickly determine the supplier to ensure supply." ”
However, Tesla, known as the "Apple of the automotive industry", does not have much sense of threat in the face of the menacing force of Apple cars. Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhao said in an interview that he had "nothing to look forward to" about Apple's new design, a statement that attracted the attention of many netizens.
So in the automotive field, can Apple recreate an "iPhone" legend? Personally, I think it is difficult, although Apple has its own unique advantages in many core areas, Tesla has set the threshold of intelligent electric vehicles very high, and BYD, the new force of China's head car manufacturing, has gradually stood out, and wants to squeeze into this torrent, I think it is very hanging.
Of course, for Apple, which once subverted the mobile phone industry, the performance of entering the automotive industry is still worth looking forward to.
