The version of Android most OEMs use is not open source. Define what "EV Platform" means. Tesla doesn't even allow their chargers to be standard. How are they any more open than Apple?

    That's the problem with most of the Apple haters here. They don't know much about anything.

      Elon Musk, Tesla make EV platform - Open Source platform.

      Apple?
      stingy, worry of competition, dont acknowledge partners like Samsung who assist in design and manufacture Apple processors, dont acknowledge partners like Microsoft who supply the 'Pencil' technology, dont acknowledge partners like Samsung who supply Amoled for apple smart watch. What else? We know it.

Anyone with half a brain can look at Apple's quarterly statements and year end results to see Aplle's overall sales, and thus end users, go up each year. There's a reason Samsung does not report the sales for their flagship devices anymore.

            And about the S, that isn't true. Unless you would like to provide data that sales fluctuate every year.

            So it doesn't change Apple is manipulating the minds of poor little sheep.

                  Veronica, 09 Oct 2015Market cap is somthing else...170 billion is when Apple decides that we will sell the name "Apple", the Apple logo and all rights that go with them. That would cost you 170 bln. The rest of the company at least 500 bln dollars.

                            Wow. A lot of (Apple fans) people here are saying that the man was threatened. You wouldn't say that if you have seen the Tesla X.

                              What you people don't understand. Is that Apple inspires these reactions from everyone. All other companies are intimidated. If they were not intimidated. Then they wouldn't have to say anything.
