Cars of Apple CEO Tim Cook
Tim Cook, born on November 1, 1960, is an American business leader who became the boss at Apple Inc. in 2011 after Steve Jobs. Before this, Cook worked as the company’s number two. He started at Apple in 1998, overseeing global operations, then moved up to handle worldwide sales and operations. He took over as CEO when Jobs got sick and stepped down in August 2011. As CEO, Cook has been vocal about making changes to spying, online security, making stuff in the U.S., and saving the environment. During his time in charge from 2011 to 2020, Apple made twice as much money and became worth a lot more. Cook has given a lot of money to good causes since March 2015. Now, let’s check out the cars he owns.
| Tim Cook Car Collection | Price (USD) |
| BMW 5-Series | $54,395 |
| Tesla Model X | $141,200 |
| Rivian R1T | $78,650 |
| Porsche 718 Boxster | $73,250 |
BMW 5-Series
Once the top choice for sporty sedans, the BMW 5-series has become a more luxurious ride lately. It’s packed with advanced tech and offers superb comfort. The latest model scores well in various aspects but doesn’t quite match the energetic handling we associate with older BMWs. Some buyers might find the styling too safe, though it’s still recognizable. The 530i comes with a powerful turbocharged inline-four engine as standard, while the 540i gets an even stronger turbocharged inline-six.
Tesla Model X
The Tesla Model X is an electric SUV known for its speed. Models like the top-tier P100D can match the acceleration of the fastest supercars on straight roads. With the optional Ludicrous drive mode, this five-seater electric vehicle can go from zero to 60 mph in less than 3.0 seconds. Although technically able to accommodate up to seven passengers with the optional third-row seats, they’re small and more suitable for kids. The cabin offers a panoramic view with a sweeping windshield over the front seats. While the central touchscreen looks futuristic, having all vehicle controls on it can be distracting.
Rivian R1T
Rivian, a tech startup, made history by producing the first electric pickup truck. The R1T, slightly bigger than a Ford Ranger, runs on either two or four electric motors, depending on the model. The most potent version packs an impressive 835 hp and can tow up to 11,000 pounds. Its smaller size compared to giants like the Ford F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV SUT makes it more manoeuvrable in tight spots. Inside, the Rivian boasts luxury features and advanced technology, such as a large 15.6-inch infotainment screen and a separate digital gauge display. However, all this greatness comes with a hefty price tag, similar to its competitors.
Porsche 718 Boxster
The Porsche 718 Boxster and its coupe sibling, the 718 Cayman, are great at what they’re made for. They have engines in the middle and are set up for sporty driving, making them handle really well. They come with either four- or six-cylinder engines that give them a good amount of power. You can pick between a manual or automatic transmission for the RWD setup. If you like convertibles, you can put the top down, feel the breeze, and enjoy driving these cars, which offer performance similar to a Porsche 911 but for less money.
