This looks like one of those stupid Apple product mock ups we usually get from graphic designers. Meaning something completely futuristic and unrealistic.
Plus, you've got to be no more than 4 feet tall -- 6 inches of upper body and 3.5 feet of legs and arms to get into, let alone drive, that stupid looking thing.
still not sure if i want the 4G version or not
and torn between space grey and rose gold
4g for sure, and space gray, to match all my other
Apple stuff. I hope they use the Apple Watch as
The key. I am really trying to minimize my keys.
And I want find my car enable.
If it's true, I hope the battery in Apple's electric car lasts proportionately longer then the one in my iPhone 6s. Otherwise I'll have to hope Mophie comes to the rescue again.

1) 12 hours on LTE equates to 12 hours at highway speeds? That's 12 × 65 = 780 miles. That would be groundbreaking.
2) Would Mophie be a protective body panel with additionally battery life? Would those external charges that use your Lightning cable be a small trailer you tow behind your car?
Actually most of the top California auto design studios are in southern California near LA. Many car companies from around the world use SoCal auto designers. Also motorcycles.
Interesting. When did that change.
Probably ever since the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena became the pre-eminent auto design school in the US, and arguably, the world.
I'd like to see a car with no visible external lights until activated.
Oh, hey, I hadn’t thought about that. Apple’s king when it comes to micro-punctures in metal that allow for hiding lights...
My idea for a car was centered around having the lighting in a ring around the entire body. With LEDs and other modern, energy efficient forms of lightning, it wouldn’t be demanding on the battery or operation of the vehicle to have–instead of two lights up front–lights across the entire front and back of the vehicle, and also down the sides. This would provide greater visibility for the driver (the frontmost sections of the side lights could be tuned to the color that is best for night viewing) as well as for other drivers (turn signals would be the strip along an entire half of the vehicle, etc.). With a single, unbroken line representing the lights going around the entire car, I’ve always thought the design could be more fluid. Designers could really have fun with that.
I really need to hook my Wacom back up and get back to drawing. All these ideas that need hammering out rattling around and falling into neuronal sinkholes...
That concept car is closer to what I imagine an Apple Car to look like.

External lights are activated in much of the industrialized world 100% of the time. Unless you mean that you don't want to see the external lights when the car is not running. If so, what would be the design -- or even aesthetic -- logic?

Fins and chrome? Or miles of quilted soft Corinthian leather hides? Stick-on vinyl wood grain dash appliqués?
Yep. most major car companies have studios here.
Nissan's was set up in the 70's. IIRC The Pathfinder was an early product.
news.com.au Really, A.I.?
This was out almost a year ago.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd, go!
However, if anyone was looking to spend tens of billions, starting a car company is one way to do it.

I’d say that if it was named after Edison we could rule Apple right out.
What, create a front company? Apple has a dozen of them that it uses to buy stuff at prices that aren’t ridiculously inflated.

I would bet that both Apple and BMW are contributing research and technology partners of Faraday Future.

Time will tell.

Since when is it dark in the industrialized world 100% of the time?
