Hideous that screen is. I can only imaging how annoying that large a screen is for the driver at night. The new AUDI TT all-in-one virtual cockpit direction is much more my preference.

Is that an actual web browser on the screen? WTF is that doing in a car?
Hiring Tesla employees at any price? Could Apple be planning an electric iCar? That's where their expertise lies, not in route mapping or self-driving cars.
Of course, as another poster suggested, Apple could be going after those with battery expertise. But I suspect banks of car batteries are quite different from those in iDevices.

You know it changes for night, right? Like every other car screen sold.

Shut the FUDGE up. Don't be pissing on the cape of a company that just make more money in one week than all your companies made in 3 decades.
Why would people want to work for Tesla? Maybe because Tesla is a NON-PROFIT organization and you don't have to work hard. Who cares to work hard when the company just needs to rely on food stamps from the government. While in Apple you will get fired if you are a lazy unproductive clown. The cream always rises. Its no accident that i made more profit selling my poems on ebay than Tesla made the entire time Musk was in command.
Why do you care what Elon does with his money?
Why would people want to work for Tesla? Because they get to work on cool shit. Duh. Completely disrupting an industry vs. trying to shave 0.25mm of the next iPad Air?

I think he rages whenever he has lost money - like with GT Advanced.
There is nothing special or groundbreaking about their cars. the only thing stopping Honda, Toyota or Ford from rolling over Tesla with their own electric cars are batteries. Once the next jump in battery technology occurs (say a 2x increase in capacity and/or a 50% decrease in cost) then EVERYONE will be making electric cars.
When this happens there will be nothing to make a Tesla stand out from all the other electric vehicles out there. They will be another Tucker or DeLorean.
A guy from Ireland defending a user named Ireland. Very fishy.
I never owned Tesla stock. Its a POS ponzi scheme stock just like Amazon.
I am mad that a company that is a small POS like Tesla tries to piss on the cape of Apple. yes that does make me mad. I have about 1000 shares of Apple, so yes I do get 'raged' when some little POS company tries to make a name for itself by pissing on Apple.
Wow, almost religious fervor there! Calm down old boy!

Even fishier is you, a guy from the U.S., defending the views of other U.S. posters.
how many posters here are from the US?
How many from Ireland?
Simple math.
Oh you are being serious?
As long as there is more than one poster per country its not impossible that a poster from a country will agree with another from the same country occasionally. You are basically accusing people of sock puppetry which is an ad hominem.
Edit.
And cnocbui didn't agree with ireland. He agreed with waterrockets who was criticising both ireland and you.
As much as I love Apple, given the choice I would rather work for Tesla or SpaceX. They are companies created and run by a visionary. Tim Cook is running someone else's company, very well, but still it's not the same.
Replace "visionary" with "rock star" and your post makes sense.
Tesla disrupting an industry? More like living off of food stamps from the government. GTFO. Elon is full of hot air and BS promises and pie in the sky dreams. What's so special about an electric car? Nissan makes them for 1/5 the price. All Elon is trying to impress Wall Street by mentioning Apple.
What Nissan electric car can go from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds?
Unless I'm wrong I thought they had a great relationship.
This sounds like a dirty goog move.
Afaik, they have not had much of relationship. I've heard of nothing major that Apple and Tesla are working on together. In fact, I recall that Tesla was either late or absent with CarPlay.
Who needs a car to go that fast? No one. The Tesla cost $100k the leaf cost under $30k. No ones calling Nissan visionary.
Its just wall street manipulators pumping the stock up using the false idol Elon. No one knew about Elon until Wall Street got involved.
I wouldn't dismiss Musk so easily. He can come across as dismissive or even a blowhard occasionally, but he's built up a war chest of enough accomplishments for me to pay attention when he announces anything.

The iPod/iTunes/iPad/iPhone/AppStore are TRUE INDUSTRY disruptors. Making electric cars is not. Go preach your anti-Apple pro-Tesla crap somewhere else like at iWorshipElon.com
I have a feeling that Apple is working on an electric car and Elon is pissing in his pants. An iCar would totally destroy Tesla the minute its announced.
Apple takes financial advantage of the US government too.
Before Tesla, you could not drive an electric car across the country without overnight stays each time you discharge the batteries.

It's interesting how lots of companies want to be associated with Apple some how...
Oh we have ex Apple engineers, Oh we are partners with Apple, Oh we are so like Apple.
That does not make them Apple folks. Employees switch jobs all the times.
I think the Bloomberg article was just a way to get free advertising to wealthy Apple fans and investors.

Hopefully the latter
Wow, almost religious fervor there! Calm down old boy!
Hopefully it is in an autonomously driven one!

That, or maybe neither is fishy.
Yeah that's what the black vans are for.
They're going around the nation nabbing employees.
