All right folks, clean technica is suggesting. There is a rumor that apple, the 2025 apple car will actually be built by porsche. They say here that wasn't long ago, then apple hired the former vp of porsche's chassis development to help them get that apple car movement in motion.

But more importantly, we've got some recent articles, or at least a recent article from reuters that has europe speculating. A deal may be coming together between porsche and apple, so that porsche could build. The all-electric car for apple and apple could essentially appleize it. Now they at clean technica believe that this is not an insane suggestion, because after all, porsche did not want to partner with volkswagen and audi to develop an electric vehicle architecture for the id models like the id3 right and instead they would prefer that their premium platform.

Electric ppe architecture instead go towards top shelf vehicles like audis and bentley's and boy. Oh boy, nothing sounds more affordable to me than mixing together audi porsche apple and bentley. I can't wait to see a car cost as much as a house which these days is a lot, but okay, okay, maybe maybe i mean hey after all - that kind of competition or combination rather would actually give some competition to uh tesla and certainly some of the Other ev providers - i know lucid, is mentioned here, we'll talk about that in a moment and of course right now. This is really just speculation.

There's really no other information here, but let's think about this, so first price aside, because it'd probably be absolutely insane price wise for porsche and apple, to come together to make a vehicle price aside. I have to say i love apple products. Some days i hate apple products, but i've got lots of apple products and i've been in the porsche tycoon and it's a great freaking electric vehicle together. You know what, maybe maybe there is a potential here, but wait.

A minute apple has been working on this since 2014 apple calls, this project code name titan, which a rumor has it had: 5 000 people working on it with 66 road registered driverless vehicles as of august of 2018 per the bbc. So this gives us a little bit of a guide that apple, apparently or allegedly had 5 000 people working on this, which is quite actually a lot of people now apple, has also stolen workers and executives from fiat, tesla, volkswagen, mercedes, nvidia porsche, you name it and The latest rumors that we really got here were from december 2020, that maybe apple would actually be launching something by 2024 and there were even implications from the company lucid peter rollinson, the ceo of lucid, who suggested that maybe they could build all the beautiful hardware and Master, the engines and the battery and the feel of the car, but then partner with some silicon valley, nudge, nudge, wink, wink company to bring a driverless technology suite to all of the lucid drivers. Yet here we are with hundreds of lucid vehicles delivered and yeah. We got over the air update 1.4, which helps with engine braking, but we're waiting for lucid update 1.5 that finally brings cruise control to a 169 000 car plus tax.

So 180 000 car - that's right. Another 180 000 cars right now have cruise control, let alone self-driving. So lucid's been having trouble finding a software partner nvidia, not sure where they are qualcomm. Nope apple, apparently not apparently now the rumor with porsche so far, no one for lucid and they actually have vehicles on the road now sure, maybe apple will be the first to create their own sort of uh suite outside of tesla.

After all, they were the first to bring the iphone to the world and remember it was designed in california and manufactured by another company foxconn in china. So maybe the apple car could be designed by apple manufactured by porsche in germany or the us, or whatever right or in china. Who cares and volkswagen has potentially been set on according to cleantechnica, here, spinning off porsche, as maybe an ev play like a startup of its own or a spack of its own, and then keeping a snake in this, which, quite frankly, is probably not a horrible idea. Because if you consider the fact that volkswagen is worth about 106 billion dollars and sells 1000 millions of freaking vehicles per year and lucid has barely sold 300 vehicles and is worth 42 billion dollars, the porsche's got to be worth at least what loose it's worth right.

So maybe that'd be a quick, easy, 40 billion dollars or 40 billion opportunity to raise money. I mean, maybe why not, why not spin off porsche, especially if you could sell the rumor that uh apple's going to partner with them? Now, personally, i'm not holding my breath to me all these rumors say is, quite frankly by tesla. Sorry, i i look. I know i'm a tesla fanboy, but really i've owned a tesla roadster a tesla model x, a tesla model s plaid and the lucid dream edition.

I haven't owned a porsche i can, but i've been in it. It's wonderful and let me just sum it up: tesla blows everyone out of the freaking water, okay, there's there's no competition here, even if apple had 20 freaking thousand workers, somehow secretly, with no leaks working on this self-driving platform and and some you know some next event - That comes up tim cook's gon na come down from heaven with here. It is one more thing we have perfected self-driving and nobody knew about it. Yet they only have 69 freaking vehicles registered in california, with 92 drivers registered in california for driverless cars.

Okay, maybe in some reality that'll happen, although that seems more like a dream without it, but even if that were to happen, tesla has 60 000, not people vehicles with access to full self-driving. So all i got ta say here is tesla all day long and thank you goodbye.
