“Porsche will contest Laguna Seca in historic colors of the Apple Computer livery”
This is pretty cool.
Thoughts on Cars
“All the wrong EVs are getting canceled”
Two years ago, I made a bet with a Tesla-stan friend that the Cybertruck would get canceled (or very materially redesigned) in three years. I’ve got my fingers crossed that it finds itself on the chopping block soon. Down 48% YoY! 🤞
“An Interview with Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe about Building a Car Company and Autonomy”
This interview has the best discussion I’ve come across about Rivian’s decision and rationale behind not implementing CarPlay in their vehicles. Read the post on my site for more thoughts on it.
“After Years of Saying No, Tesla Reportedly Adding Apple Carplay to Its Cars”
I don’t trust this report—and wouldn’t buy a Tesla in any case—but this would be quite the reversal. Maybe it would signal to others going down this path that they’re making a mistake.
“These GM Vehicles” Infotainment Can No Longer Download Apps”
Yet another reason to not trust GM with their commitment to do anything other than attempt to extract subscription dollars from people who buy their vehicles. They don’t care about their owners’ experience, they just want the money.
“Honda and Nissan plan to merge as we enter the age of electric cars”
I was a Honda fan when I was younger, and have owned 3 Hondas—my first new car was a Honda CRX that remember fondly. I credit Honda for my love of small, light, sporty cars. Sadly, Honda has lost that touch—the Civic is unrecognizably big. Let’s hope that this combo can make some interesting cars.
