 Apple Car developments could kickstart big auto-tech partnerships in 2021
 
 Dec. 26, 2020 10:22 AM
 
 What will Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) car development program look like if the company moves forward with a dramatic move into the automobile industry?
 
 
 "Initially, the most likely rollout would involve several hundred Apple Cars driving in US cities for a year or two before becoming more widely available. Apple could either sell cars directly to consumers or offer a subscription-like transportation service similar to Zoox or Tesla robotaxi. It's highly unlikely Apple will build cars, and more likely they outsource manufacturing to an OEM partner," predict Loup Ventures' Gene Munster and team.
 
 
 As for manufacturing partners, Wedbush Securities pointed to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY), Nio (NYSE:NIO) and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) as potential strategic partners for Apple. If it looks to find an OEM partner, Apple could be competing with Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), Zoox (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Waymo (NASDAQ:GOOG) on the expectation that those companies and others will be hunting around for expanded auto partnerships.
 
 
 
 A major investing theme in 2021 may be how tech-auto partnerships shake out for commercial and retail vehicles, and the implications for upstarts like Fisker (NYSE:FSR), Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE), GreenPower Motors (NASDAQ:GP), Ayro (NASDAQ:AYRO), Workhorse Group (NASDAQ:WKHS) and others.
 
 
 
 With Apple several years away from having a car on the roads, Seeking Alpha author D.M. Martins Research warns to be careful with irrational exuberance on the Apple Car, grounding its bullish Apple thesis instead on the 5G cycle and AAPL's expanded services portfolio. For investors, the most juicy Apple Car trades so far have been in Lidar names.

 apple don't have the technical know how, nor the engineers, there's a reason why Tesla is Tesla 
 
 
 i strongly believe it is time for elon musk to develop T-Phone and release with own OS just to piss off Apple as a counter. I mean tesla already developed own OS for FSD. So i don't think it will take much effort to bring T-Phone

 Goldman Sachs Analyst today gave detailed projection on apple icar. he did not like it. bottom line - "“We believe that a car makes sense for Apple as a hardware platform supporting its services but the lower profitability of the auto business likely means that investors would see limited earnings impact from such a move,” Hall says."

 Apple Analysts Pros/cons:
 
 1. Evercore analyst Amit Daryanani also doubts Apple would enter the low-margin, capital-intensive car business. But he suggested that if the company had successfully invented a breakthrough in battery or self-driving technology, it could make the project worthwhile.
 
 2. Morgan Stanley analysts said that companies like Apple want to break into the automotive industry not just for the money that can be made selling cars and parts, but also because people riding in automobiles are a captive audience whose time could be monetized. The team led by Adam Jonas and Katy Huberty cited an estimate that there are over 600 billion hours of time spent in cars per year.
 
 Morgan Stanley analysts suggested that Apple could sell some kind of transportation subscription, not by competing with traditional automotive companies that sell cars.
 
 “It’s not that we believe Apple wants to get into the auto industry as conceived by today’s auto companies,” the Morgan Stanley analysts wrote. Instead, they think that Apple may be aiming to build a better car experience using its design and software chops, and could monetize it through its current matrix of subscription and services products.
 
 3. Baird analyst William Power wrote in a Tuesday note that cars are a multi-trillion dollar market, a “massive long-term global opportunity,” and cited the firm’s forecast that Tesla’s revenue could grow 40% this year to $42.2 billion, suggesting a possible outcome for an Apple-branded car. (Apple reported revenue of $274.51 billion in its fiscal 2020, with gross margins around 38%.)
 
 4. Longtime Apple analyst and Loup Ventures founder Gene Munster wrote on Monday that Apple’s car business has two possible paths: Building an Apple-branded car, or building licensable software for other automakers, but he notes that that option would allow vehicle look-and-feel to be in the hands of other companies.
 
 “This is Apple’s wheelhouse: find a big market that a competitor has already made progress in, enter the market a few years later, and revolutionize it,” Munster wrote.

 Identified cost and performance targets, which include:
 
 a.) $0.05/kWh levelized cost of storage for long-duration stationary applications, a 90 percent reduction from 2020 baseline costs by 2030. Achieving this levelized cost target would facilitate commercial viability for storage across a wide range of uses including: meeting load during periods of peak demand, grid preparation for fast charging of electric vehicles, and applications to ensure reliability of critical services.
 Other emerging applications for stationary storage include serving remote communities, increasing facility flexibility, increasing the resilience of interdependent networks, and facilitating the transformation of the power system.
 
 
 b.) $80/kWh manufactured cost for a battery pack by 2030 for a 300-mile range electric vehicle, a 44 percent reduction from the current cost of $143 per rated kWh. Achieving this cost target would lead to cost competitive electric vehicles and could benefit the production, performance, and safety of batteries for stationary applications
