Of course, history doesn&#x27;t necessarily repeat itself, but Elon Musk&#x27;s<p><i>&quot;But cars are very complex compared to phones or smartwatches. You can’t just go to a supplier like Foxconn and say: Build me a car,” he said.&quot;</i><p>made me think of Ed Colligan, then Palm CEO, in 2007:<p><i>&quot;We&#x27;ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone. PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They&#x27;re not going to just walk in.&quot;</i>
