Someone already built the iCar.... unfortunately for apple it has a big T on the front and has been here since 2012

Don’t tell me lighting cable to charge it

Battery will need charging every 30 minutes

Why do electric cars always have to be so ugly

Ewww. Why do all electrical cars look like a seventies porn star who has been forced to shave their mustache and eyebrows?

That's one ugly car :-/

Just what the world needs - more overpriced EVs. FFS

It will come with a charger that uses a different connection than every other electric car and they will charge you £500 for the adapter!!

That is a mistake. Hyundai makes cheap shit.

This is like the iTunes Motorola phone. A piece of shit that convinced them to make the iPhone.

Great. It will come in any colour as long as it’s white, no charger and will be out of date and unusable after 2 years. I’m definitely getting one. AppleCar icar

Hopefully it has more storage space than the phones

I'll be happy as long as they provide a keyboard shortcut to the BSDUnix terminal session.....

Charge cable will be too short

This is a shockingly bad headline. Should read: Hyundai kills potential Apple partnership by blabbing

Wow

Will it come with “terms & conditions” that mean you never really ‘own’ it?

Great! just what we need, an overpriced four wheel drive stereo, with severe range anxiety and virtually no customer technical support. 🤔

Ok, now this might be a thing. However, they both can't beat Tesla

Wow

I expect it will have its own unique plug that will change every couple of years

It looks terrible

anything associated with Apple brand people have to pay PREMIUM $20k above Tesla EV

Sadly it becomes slower once the new model comes out

This gives me Knight Rider vibes.

Apple. Good luck with that price tag.

Nice surprise, not sure about Hyundai, though, it's not a brand you really like or be that proud to have, even if it'll look great. I wish it was VW or MercedesBenz or henrikfisker or Tesla elonmusk tim_cook Apple

so why not tesla? or gm? buffett owns 5% of both GM and Apple.

Ohhh jeezzzz, pull into The Blue Boar for a quick piss, next thing 2hr IOS update

maybe 'team-up' instead of 'tie-up'?

God I cant wait to crash this into a tree and end it all
