Can’t wait for them to throttle it after a few years to “encourage” people to buy the newer version.

And when a window breaks you have to get it replaced by Apple for $3k or you void your warranty.
I'm not who you think I am.

Would be an impossible feat, especially if they’re manufacturing it themselves.

The joke with this news is that it's all massively hyped up on some rumors and wannabeism... as if we didn't talk in 2015 of Apples plans to build a car in 2019/2020...

"Apple speeds up electric-car effort, sees 2019 shipments: WSJ, citing sources" CNBC (9/2015)
"With an internal goal of 2020 to begin building its own car" Apple Insider (9/2015)

A car would be a huge market for Apple and propel them to even greater heights, but it’s a side bet for them right now. Vehicles are an engineering feat orders of magnitude more complicated than an iPhone, so it can’t be compared to a new product line like the Apple Watch or AirPods. It’s a moonshot IMHO.

Another issue with vehicles is that the margins are very small

(just think of the price of the cart wheels, and extrapolate from there)

Only that many people can pay much more than 20-30k. You can't move the needle for Apple without appealing to the middle class. They would need to cut the production cost dramatically or change the business model to subscriptions, etc.
