#2Apple has been in and out of the car game for a few years now, with executives coming and going. What I'm about to say will be as meaningful as this hear-say article, but I feel that Apple management, and its shareholders, have no idea what it means to build a car.

I don't disagree with you assessment. I feel like he could be able to forge a solid partnership with Ford as the move into the EV space. Also with Ford's(F) market cap of $34.89B Apple could vary easily just buy them outright if things go well.

Apple could outright buy GM or Ford with cash.

They will obviously offshore the manufacturing to China so it won't really be that hard to pull it off.
