Apple Inc., which has been working secretly on a car, is pushing its team to begin production of an electric vehicle as early as 2020, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The timeframe -- automakers typically spend five to seven years developing a car -- underscores the project’s aggressive goals and could set the stage for a battle for customers with Tesla Motors Inc. and General Motors Co., both of which are targeting a 2017 release of an electric vehicle that can go more than 200 miles on a single charge and cost less than $40,000.

An iCar is useless in the midwest and will be in 2020. There's next to no demand for a fully electric car here.

The concept is pretty cool but i'm not sure how popular electric cars would actually be
The price doesn't seem that bad either
Technology is moving faster and faster lately

The iCars most useful feature will be to identify douchbags from even further away.

iCar... I see... this will cost like a Ferrari, but with performance of a basic car, like Chev Sonic.

An iPhone and cars are two different things, it's all about ethanol over here for an alternative source of fuel due to all of the corn and then you have plenty of holdouts who just don't care and stick with gasoline.

I'm happy with the Apple products I have, but I'll probably pass on the iCar (assuming they actually make it). I imagine it'll be overpriced and gimmicky—like, "you can remote start your iCar using your iPhone!!" We'll see.

Actually Android software will probably be in some car models this year. And Microsoft already beat both of them to the punch(Ford Sync).

I highly doubt that they will design a car from scratch, it just doesn't make any economical sense to make a car when you're a tech company.

In soviet america car will drive you, it will be overpriced overhyped and inferior to all other cars. Icar sales showrooms will be combination Westworld / Jonestown / Large Cold Plastic box. And a new creature will evolve, the istore attendant that has become a car salesman. It's too frightening for words. Abandon hope.

Also I'm convinced Apple fanboys don't exist, they are merely many thousands of paid shills. I mean on what planet would such a thing really exist. Come now. Ok.... people riot over sneakers. Never mind.

According to iCarDock.com, the release date is 2019. If Faraday is really a front for Apple, they've announced a release date of 2017. Like so many times before, Apple will shock the world shortly.
