I love the picture on BoingBoing [1] for the corresponding article - an Apple Magic Mouse with little wheels crudely drawn on the side.

At first I didn't believe Apple actually tried to make its own car. What a stupid idea!

Apple should buy Rivian and scale it up. They make truly beautiful vehicles, already classic, IMO, but they need money.

Apple also did not buy Foxconn. It makes no sense to own a factory when you can just ask existing ones to make you stuff - i.e. Apple also does not own its own fab facilities, they will just ask TSMC and others to make stuff for them.

Beauty sure is in the eyes of the beholder.
