What if Apple made a 1500 dollar electric Mini (car)?

Might just work.

I have seen some comments here saying that all the money in the world can't buy you a better mobile phone. If Apple is able to generalize that to another product class, the world might really change for the better.

I think a mini car would tank Apple's brand value significantly, especially if you think about the type of die hard apple fanboys who would be the first flock to hit the streets in these things. All it takes is a couple of people getting into some pretty dumb accidents to make people turn against them (the same way people judge BMW and Tesla drivers but probably to an even greater extent tbh).
