According to a 2015 Wall Street Journal report, Apple previously had a target release date of 2019 for its electric car project, also known as "Project Titan." That target date has been pushed back two years because the group has run into challenges, according to The Information.

A sign of these troubles was when Steve Zadesky, the Apple vice president in charge of Project Titan, left the company in January for "personal reasons."
