Tesla post 2020 is an interesting experiment in automaking.

I'm fairly convinced that if the US wouldn't protect it's internal markets so much, both Apple and Tesla would probably be gone in maximum 10 years. Maybe not gone as much as greatly diminished.

I get Tesla, it's a controversial company, but Apple?

Allegedly, the Cybertruck is the first car Musk was involved in designing. All the previous Tesla models were variants of the designs produced before Musk bought the company.

Re Apple: How is the US protecting its market against other smartphone manufacturers?

There's no concept of "sick days" here in Germany like there is back in the US. You're either sick or you're not. If you're sick you don't go to work. If you're sick more than 3 days, you get a doctor's note. If you're stick more than a month or something (I forget the exact amount of time) then insurance takes over to help pay your wage so your employer isn't completely hosed.

Ultimately, you're not penalized for being sick. But your employer can still check that you're actually sick, just to be sure. I'm sure many people are taking time off of Tesla work due to stress, which is a valid reason to get a doctor's note here.

Wrong. The first Tesla, the Roadster, was an existing design by Lotus [1]. All Tesla designs since, including the Cybertruck, have been led by Franz von Holzhausen.
