Rim frontJia Yueting sharply commented on Apple's abandonment of making cars
As early as more than ten years ago, there have been rumors that Apple is going to build a car, and judging from the news from various channels, Apple has indeed invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in the past ten years. But it's a pity that Apple's vision of "self-driving electric vehicles" didn't come to fruition. According to foreign media, Apple disclosed to internal employees this week that it will cancel the electric vehicle development plan and will focus on generative AI in the future.
After Apple announced that it would abandon its car-building plan, Jia Yueting, who had not returned to China, posted a "sharp comment" on the matter on his social account. He said that Apple's abandonment of building cars was a big mistake, and that Cook was not Jobs after all, and he was very disappointed. In addition, Boss Jia also promoted his FF by the way, saying that he would share more content about FF with you in the near future.
Netizen: Can you return to China to share?
Chang'an or take over Gaohe
Although there have been endless new products launched by major brands recently, there are also days when they are not very good, such as Gaohe. Due to the product positioning is too niche and high-end, Gaohe's sales have not been satisfactory, and it was announced that it would stop production after the Spring Festival. However, just when everyone thought that Gaohe would collapse, Ding Lei, CEO of Gaohe, recently visited Changan Automobile and met with Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile. According to reports, Changan intends to acquire 51% of Gaohe's shares. In response, Zhu Huarong responded: "We are talking, and we are far from negotiating." ”
We believe that Changan's acquisition of Gaohe is actually a good thing, because both have excellent product design capabilities, at least at the aesthetic level, and will not drag each other down. In addition, Changan's dark blue and AVATR models are selling well, but the chassis tuning is not particularly good. Of course, car acquisition is not a trivial matter, but can the two "hit it off"? Let's wait and see!
Do you think BYD's ** war will continue?
