- ClumsyPilot 6y agoComplexity of a phone has no relevance on your ability to deliver a car, just like it has no relevance on your ability to deliver a hydroelectric dam.

- ClumsyPilot 6y agoSerious double-standard going on here. If you make assertions without evidence, i can refute them without evidence. In particular, you assert that: 1 - phone is more complex than a car 2 - if phones is more complex than a car, then the organisation that produced it can produce a car. You have provided nothing to back them up. I am in particular disagreeing with the second one.
- nwienert 6y agoOk, name something more complex than a CPU to manufacture on a car? Making the leap from "Apple makes many complex hardware parts" to they can make a car is a smaller leap than the opposite - Tesla literally didn't exist and made a car, so to assert Apple somehow couldn't is... weird. Things Apple builds already that are in cars: custom glass, speakers, lights, complex aluminum frames, computers, cameras, knobs/dials, batteries, screens, wheels, fans, materials from leather to rubber to plastic, memory foam...
