Why go to an EV maker when they are all slowing from lack of sales. Tesla has a HUGE Lead, as do the Chinese, BYD brand

And I'm not so sure about Tesla having a lead. At least not in being a functioning profitable company.

it's a young market that will grow much faster as Honda etc. get in on it. Hybrids and electrics make up half the cars on our street now. I expect that's why. Rivian is fighting some very bad reviews though.

it's an odd choice and it feels like Apple was really feeling like they had to DO SOMETHING. But I do not think it's a product that will last. It just doesn't solve a problem and if bought would quickly be relegated to the side. I never bought the AR/VR push. Especially for consumers who want minimum effort to play a game or watch a show.

It's interesting that none of these investigations look at Apple's anti-competitive behaviour against their own reseller partners. Business discounts, stock availability, CTO ETAs, education pricing all designed to steer customers to their own stores.

anti competitive behavior in itself is not illegal. just ask why target doesn't carry Walmart brands, or gives larger discounts to their internal brands, or charges more for shelf fees the larger the company is. People need to stop thinking the market place is some magic level field. the only case forgot. involvement is in a monopoly. apple is only a monopoly with their own product. why can't multiple companies have x-box stores?

reading again, it's doing nothing you can't set up already. weird...
