They’re working on cars for sure

Will the Apple Car get slower over time and have the battery become unusable after 2 years?
Impossible to service, imagine the cost of Apple Care, my guess would be $300 per month plus the cost of the car which will be $100k?
When turning the steering wheel to the left causes the car to veer right, will the official response be "you're holding it wrong"?
No money in cars. (That's why Tesla insists it's a robotics/AI company.)
I agree. Money is not in the cars. Money is in the data collected from the users - 360 degree camera footage, offloading AI training risk to users, and of course collecting all of that sweet user data [1]. In some cases, the car manufacturer will somehow collect your sexual history.
