Apple iCar Parody Video — Funny or Meh?
I’ve been sitting on this story for a few days, partly because I’ve been super busy (what’s new?) and partly because I’m not fully sure what my take on it is.
The idea of an Apple electric car is quite tantalizing. Hence the reason I wrote a long article about it, and the reason Chris and I discussed the topic on our first Cleantech Talk podcast. It’s tantalizing for me because 1) Apple has a ton of money and both software and hardware expertise that could lead to an awesome product, 2) I’m an Apple convert who thinks they make some of the best tech products around, and who now can’t believe I spent years messing with fundamentally broken PCs.
Making fun of Apple and Apple fans is quite common, and I was convinced for years that its products were overpriced. However, once making the switch, I can only recommend them.
The parody below is sort of funny, but it also tries to be funny by reinforcing myths that are just old and boring at this point, about Apple as well as about electric cars. The range joke, for example, really let me down (and it even had the ignorance of calling an electric car’s motor an engine). But parts of the video did crack me up.
Check it out if you’re now interested, and feel free to chime in with your own take:
