This is the Foxtron Cavira, a potential direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y built by a company that almost certainly built your iPhone.

The thing is, the name Foxtron may not ring a bell, but it should.

Partly because its parent company built nearly every iPhone and iPad over the last 10-15 years.

But also because, interestingly, it builds everyone else’s phones as well.

This new EV is a potential Tesla rival, but there’s a problem

The Cavira is an electric SUV that is available with a rear motor, with 359 miles of range and 249 horsepower, or with two motors.

This versions puts out 468 horsepower, with a 0-60 of 3.8 seconds, and offers up to 334 miles of range, which is Tesla Model Y territory.

Both versions have an 82.7 kWh battery, which charges from 10-80 percent in less than 30 minutes.

The interior follows a familiar EV theme with very few buttons in sight, minimalist design, and a massive screen.

In this case, the Foxtron Cavira comes with a vertically oriented, 15.6-inch display, which is actually quite uncommon as most EVs – and most cars in general – feature horizontal displays these days.

The price is also attractive: the Cavira has an MSRP just north of $38,000.

For now, the only problem is that this ideal Tesla rival is only available in Taiwan, and there’s no mention of a US launch in the near future.

Where have we heard about this before?

Foxtron is a division (in partnership with Yulon Motor) of Foxconn, one of the largest hardware manufacturers in the world.

Foxconn has manufactured the vast majority of iPhones, alongside massive shares of iPads, Kindles, Nintendo systems, Sony PlayStation consoles, and devices from Google and Xiaomi.
