Philip Houska Iqiniso lokuthi i-Apple isebenza ngasese kuphrojekthi ehlobene nemboni yezimoto iyimfihlo evulekile. Nakuba inkampani yaseCalifornia ithule ngokusemthethweni, izinyathelo eziningi zakamuva zikhomba ukuthi ngempela ihlela okuthile ngezimoto. Manje, ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Apple ithole ukuqiniswa okubaluleke kakhulu kwethimba layo eliyimfihlo, unjiniyela onolwazi uChris Porrit uvela kuTesla.
UPorrit wayengumqondisi ophethe we-Aston Martin, lapho achitha khona iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha, futhi phambilini wasebenza iminyaka eyishumi kwaLand Rover. Kodwa-ke, uza ku-Apple evela eTesla, lapho aba khona iphini likamongameli wezobunjiniyela bezimoto eminyakeni emithathu edlule futhi wabamba iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni kwezimoto zikagesi zeModel S neModel X.
Njengeyokuqala weza ngolwazi mayelana nokutholwa okubalulekile kwe-Apple, ebilokhu ilwa noTesla ngenxa yezisebenzi eziningi ezibalulekile ezinyangeni ezedlule, iwebhusayithi. Electrek, olandela kabanzi umnyakazo phakathi kwalezi zinkampani zombili waveza ukuthi nakuba sekugcwele izisebenzi nhlangothi zombili, akakaze abe yisisebenzi esisezingeni eliphezulu njengoPorrit.
Lokhu kubamba okukhulu kwe-Apple, futhi uChris Porrit kufanele aphumelele uSteve Zadesky, owathi ngoJanuwari washiya i-Apple ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi nesithupha. KwakunguZadesky okwakufanele ahole ithimba eliyimfihlo elisebenza kuphrojekthi yemoto yama-apula, kodwa i-Porrit kufanele ibe indawo enhle kakhulu. U-Tesla ngokwakhe wathi ngo-Porrito ukuthi wayengumholi wesigaba sokuqala kanye nonjiniyela ophezulu.
Ukudluliswa kukanjiniyela osezingeni eliphezulu esuka eTesla eya e-Apple kwenza amazwi omphathi wakwaTesla u-Elon Musk, ngonyaka odlule angasebenzi. kubhekiselwa ku-Apple njengendawo yokungcwaba, lapho abantu abahlulekile enkampanini yakhe baya khona. Nakuba ulwazi lwavela ngoJanuwari ukuthi "Iphrojekthi ye-Titan", njengoba kubhekiselwa kuyo imizamo eyimfihlo ye-Apple, inezinkinga, nokho, ngokusobala ngeke kukhulunywe nganoma yikuphi ukuqedwa kwentuthuko.
