Catastrophic car accident: "Siri, call 911! 🙏"
Siri: "I found this on the web for 'call 911'"

Thank god. Knowing Apple, they probably wouldn't let you even change your own light bulb in the car. You would need to book an appointment with an Apple specialist, and in one week they would sell you a refurbished car instead of changing the bulb.

Good. This world doesn’t need another +100k$ disposable car that’s impossible to repair on your own.

[thanos]

The tires would’ve had a proprietary connector mechanism. A new set of Apple Pro Rubber Wheels™ would’ve cost you $10, 000 for each wheel. And you’d get a permanent warning on the screen if your tires weren’t authentic.

o noes my front light is broken, guess its time to buy a new car xD

"If you think about a car, what is a car? A car has batteries, a computer, a motor and a mechanical structure... IT'S AN IPHONE! It even has a motor inside!!!! We just make it bigger, slap some wheels for good measure and a subscription based windshield wiper and yeah, apple We know how to do it because we already do!" That right there is pure comedy material

[ninjanerdstudent]

If you cancelled your rental subscription, the brakes would stop working.

9:17 "a sub 100 000$ standard car."
Imagine living in a world where a 100K$ car is considered standard.

If Apple made cars each part would be sold separately

[NPC_averagemale]

Add an extra 25mph top speed for only 1999$

[lucasglowacki]

Probably saved them a $100 billion not to actually produce it😂

"This guy has an odd accent, I wonder if he's Australian?"

Dagogo: "Cheers guys, have a good one "

"YEP"

Warranty voided for opening the glove box

"One of the key drivers", "Pull the plug", "Reaching the finishing line", the puns game is solid in this episode!

[techdemystified]

"Even before Apple could start the ignition, there was trouble under the hood". Well played Altraide!!

*Apple Car gets a scratch*

A local repair shop does a paint job.

*Apple Car won't start*

Apple Car Screen: You have used a third-party paint. Only use an authorized Apple paint.

7:00 > _"project titan"_

it was destined to be a big sinking ship right from the start

[michaelmashburn]

Apple is too controlling, you would never be able to take it to a non authorized dealership for anything

[MagicNumberArg]

But would it become slower with each software update?

[MusiciansRule]

I'm just imagining the car "mysteriously" malfunctioning when Apple came up with a new model of the car.
