In order to enter the field of electric vehicles, Apple secretly invested in R&D as early as 20 14, and by 2020, it has obtained more than 70 automobile patents, which shows its superior technical strength.
By Christmas, 65438+February 25, 2020, Apple's market value exceeded 2.24 trillion US dollars, ranking first in the world. With strong financial resources, Apple need not worry about R&D and production.
Foxconn Technology's parent company, which has been OEM for Apple, has also made new moves recently. Hon Hai announced the establishment of an open platform alliance for electric vehicles to serve the production of Apple's electric vehicle parts industry chain. Apple's electric car is also likely to be manufactured by Foxconn. I believe that Apple's OEM model will make the car quality better than Tesla.
Cook has not made a statement on relevant rumors at present. According to the current data analysis, Apple fans summarized eight advantages of Apple's electric car:
0 1 intelligent door, sensing the surrounding distance and obstacles.
02 AR system. AR is an augmented reality display system, which helps drivers to observe the real situation of the road and block objects.
Intelligent window changing system. Mainly to protect personal privacy.
04 immersive virtual reality patent. Once the customer gets carsick, the virtual image can solve the problem.
Smart car keys. When the owner loses the key, it can be unlocked or started by IPhone or other electronic products.
Carplay intelligent vehicle system. Relying on the established Apple eco-car networking system, the system provides Apple maps, indication information of charging stations along the way, parking navigation and so on. The system also includes vehicle function and intelligent key function.
The core of Apple's strategy is the new battery design. The new technology can greatly improve the cruising range. Apple executives said that this is the next stage (of battery technology) and it will give people the feeling of seeing the iPhone for the first time. "
The automatic parking function can automatically charge wirelessly in the parking area without induction.
Affected by this news, Tesla's share price fell for two consecutive days, with a cumulative decline of 7.86%, and its market value evaporated by 5 18 billion US dollars (about RMB 340 billion). Apple's share price rose for two consecutive days, and its accumulated market value increased by 88.8 billion US dollars (about 580.4 billion yuan). Tesla's design strength is ahead of Apple's, but considering the comprehensive strength such as production quality, it has no advantage.
Elon musk, CEO of Tesla, said on Twitter on 22nd local time that he had hoped that Apple could acquire Tesla, but Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, was not interested in meeting him.
Musk wrote on Twitter, "In the darkest days of the Model 3 project, I contacted Tim Cook to discuss the possibility of Apple buying Tesla (the price is one tenth of our current market value). But he refused to attend the meeting. "
Musk even soured Cook, and the talents that Apple poached were all employees that Teske couldn't get along with. By Christmas, 65438+February 25, 2020, Apple's market value exceeded 2.24 trillion US dollars, and Tesla's market value was about 627.9 billion US dollars. Tesla's market value is less than one-third of Apple's. However, Tesla is still the boss in the field of electric vehicles, and its position is difficult to be shaken by strong accumulation.
Investors said that if Apple produces cars, Tesla may be bearish for some time because its stock is overvalued. In the future, electric vehicles will be the mainstream, and major automobile companies will join the field of electric vehicles one after another. Traditional car companies such as Ford and General Motors will suffer from Apple's participation. Apple's spoiler will bring new competition in the field of electric vehicles.
Will Apple rely on advanced black technology and abundant capital to gain the leadership of future electric vehicles? The future is unpredictable, only wait quietly.
Who do you think will be the leader of electric vehicles in the future? Radio 0 0 0% Apple 0 0 0% Tesla 000% Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Ford and other traditional car companies 000% have no absolute leaders to vote.
