The apple car doesn't have a reverse gear. But the fan boys are like "It doesn't need a reverse, that's the point, Apple is all about forward thinking".
Tell me that while parallel parking
You're parking it wrong.
That's what You get for using a non apple authorised parking space. Your car gets bricked.
Of course you need to flip your car over to recharge it. What's wrong with that?
This problem was already solved in the 1930’s with the 5th wheel in the rear of the car

You don't need to reverse to park between two vehicles, you simply go forward on the right angle, climb the curb and turn.
But you do need it to get out.
However, you also don't need it to get out as you just wait like an upstanding citizen for the person in front you to leave.
What you do see, is you only parallel park if there’s enough space and you can slide your car in while only moving forward
The thing about not having a reverse gear is literally describing a tesla
wait wat

Ok I was exaggerating about no reverse gear, but the shifter is on the touchscreen and you don't switch into reverse manually, it supposedly "intelligently" chooses reverse for you when needed.
that's... horrifying.
