We know that in recent years Apple has been working on an electric car. This concept, which is planned to be called Apple Car, seems to be suspended for now. Apple CEO Tim Cook, who attended a meeting in the state of Idaho with the electric model of the Rivian brand, turned all his fans into the wrong corner.
Why does Apple CEO Tim Cook use Rivian?
Apple officials also attended a meeting organized by the investment company Allen & Co. But the electric car preferred by Apple CEO Tim Cook has stirred social media. Anonymous sources, who stated that they had information on the subject, said that these vehicles were rented for dinner.
In an image leaked by Bloomberg, it was revealed that Tim Cook was using the Rivian R1T model. It should be noted that in the image above, the green vehicle in the front is the Rivian R1T, and the rear one is the sports terrain model R1S.
Rivian’s founder and CEO, RJ Scaringe, was also present at the meeting organized by Allen & Co. It was stated that the future investment targets of Allen & Co were discussed at the meeting, which was attended by technology billionaires.
There has been no comment from Apple yet on the subject, but it should be noted that the vehicle was rented for the meeting. The fact that Rivian’s founder and CEO also attended the meeting may have brought up possible collaborations. We think Tim Cook talked to Rivian about the Apple Car.
US-based Rivian is actually the biggest competitor of Elon Musk’s electric car company Tesla. Rivian, which Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos also invested in, manufactures electric cargo trucks for Amazon.
It’s important to remember that Apple is facing huge challenges in the auto industry. A senior Project Titan executive has left his job at Apple. In the last two months, it has been stated that leading engineers have left the team.
