The engine of my electric car has one moving part. One. Made in house from raw materials. Rolls of steel, copper, and aluminum. It’s also considered a single part for manufacturing and servicing purposes. So not simply one moving part. One part, period.
>The number of parts/unit differs by an order of magnitude
>car companies often rely on hundreds of suppliers
See above. You must be thinking of ICE cars.
>aren’t as transferable as you may think
Other than pulling a few things off the shelf like tires, windshields, and wheels (and more; those are just a few examples) the manufacturer of my car stated from scratch. Prodigiously hard for sure but Apple is good at hard.
>will last 100k miles
Try one million.
>will take years
Again Apple excels at this.
The real problem for Apple is having Tesla as a competitor. They are used to competing with Google, but it’s easy to compete with lame. Tesla is not lame, by a long stretch.
