Note, pole = Apple!
Yes Apple makes high margins. car margins are around 2-3%
How to improve that? Cut costs and quality, no. Increase car prices by 40%, no. There isn't any wiggle room.
Now the Apple car. Its in the news, thats a clue. News. We don't get much news these days, we get sensationalism. Hype.. Apple is great at that, a great marketing tool. Its being talked about. Apple Television was like that. It could have happened when flat screen TV;s were expensive, but they are cheap now, and TV companies aren't can cows.
One day Apple will say "We looked at diversifying to the auto industry, but we now feel we are best serving the industry by supporting electronics, our core industry, such as CarPlay and working with Tesla on self drive technology and software"

Obviously pole thinks there's big profits to be made. It makes high margins in everything and this would be no different. It's apparent by your assertions that Apple, with all its vast resources and expertise, if it does automobiles, thinks differently than you do.

Very low margin, and very high risk. Apple's made money with the opposite.
