Good news: Apple is still building cars Bad news: You can't afford it

There is no figure of it on the rivers and lakes, but there are its legends everywhere

Volkswagen's CEO says he's not afraid of it

BMW CEO reveals he "slept soundly at night"

Toyota's CEO warned that building a phone is very different from building a car

It is the legendary Apple car, one moment saying it is gone, the next saying it is not gone

The latest news is that Apple Cars are in development

Revelations from LeaksApplePro show that Apple may entrust Foxconn's parent company Hon Hai Group to build the car

At the same time, industry insiders said that Apple will not launch a mass-market car, the opponent is not tesla Model 3, but Model S

The price is expected to be USD 100,000 (about RMB 660,000) and above

This means that Apple skipped the BBA directly and had to break the wrist with a brand like Porsche

Porsche's first pure electric sports car, the Taycan, starts from 880,000 yuan

Come, shout out those three words together

In fact, as early as 2015, Apple was exposed to launch a car-making project called "Project Titan"

The project is independent of the office, and it has greatly recruited technicians in the traditional automotive industry and electric vehicle industry, which has made Musk very unhappy

"Apple can only recruit people we don't want, and we call Apple 'Tesla Graveyard.'" If you can't do it at Tesla, go to Apple. I'm not kidding. ”

At its peak, Apple had more than 5,000 employees working on the Titan program

At present, the most prominent thing apple has done in making cars is confidentiality

Those automotive engineers don't work at Apple's headquarters, and they're not allowed to reveal their departments and job details to the outside world, and one former Apple engineer once said, "The cost of leaking secrets is something you can't afford." ”

So so many people participate in the project the outside world does not even know how Apple wants to build a car, do you do electric vehicles or only do automatic driving systems? The outside world can only guess Apple cars from the supply chain and the flow of people

For people who are not bad money, they are more concerned about when Apple Cars will be released, the previous prediction was 2025, and now there is news that the project may be pushed late to 2028

For Apple, which has the largest market capitalization in the world, there is no need to draw a deadline for the release of smart cars

"Tune well and then release, tune bad and do not release"

Because Apple Cars may face more attention than Tesla

This past weekend, China Philanthropist Magazine and PhoenixNet's New Horizons reported on BYD's pollution allegations

Roughly speaking what's going on (news source from China Philanthropist Magazine, PhoenixNet's New Horizons, 36Kr)

The owner of the community near the factory in Bydir's Yuhua District of Changsha City said that he could smell the pungent odor at home

"You can't smell it during the day, but every day at two or three o'clock in the morning you will always be woken up by a strong exhaust gas, and you can't smell anything in the morning."

Hundreds of children suffered from unexplained nosebleeds

According to the relevant national standards, the distance between the factory and the residential area varies from 300 meters to 500 meters, while the BYD factory is only 40 meters and 50 meters away from some communities, and only 300 meters away from The Kaho School

BYD posted an environmental test report saying its emissions met the standards

Owners disagree: They believe that the most irritating time is concentrated between the evening and the next morning, but the report may have "happened" to avoid this time period, choosing the time to be "controllable" during the day

According to the relevant national standards, the indoor tvoc (total volatile organic compound) value is equal to or less than 0.60mg/m3 to be considered safe, and the value tested by residents is 1.015mg/m3

The media consulted the Environmental Protection Bureau of Yuhua District of Changsha City, and got a reply, "The Environmental Protection Bureau has no law enforcement power, and it is recommended to consult the ecological environment law enforcement brigade." ”

The media contacted the Yuhua District Ecological Environment Law Enforcement Brigade, and the other party refused to respond

The media repeatedly called the Changsha Environmental Supervision Detachment and the Changsha Planning Supervision and Law Enforcement Detachment Yuhua District Brigade, but no one answered

Yesterday, May 8, the Changsha Municipal Party Committee and the Changsha Municipal Government have set up an investigation team to organize government functional departments, third-party testing agencies and relevant experts to enter the BYD Yuhua District factory to carry out investigations

I think the media reports are quite objective, and the words "crooked ass", "rumor-mongering", and "rhythmic" appear in the comment area

If Apple can't build a car that's perfect in terms of safety, what awaits it?

Now that multiple network platforms show the IP home, it is recommended that each company also use big data analysis to calculate the IQ value of the spokesperson and display it

I think IQ is more telling than IP
