Hello!
Actually I hope that Apple does not buy Tesla / hope that Elon does not sell to Apple.
I like to think that Elon Musk is having a really good time and really enjoying what he is doing; changing the world with electric cars, building better batteries, and building spaceships. If I were him, I don't think I could sell my Tesla-baby for any amount of money.
I also think Apple is making a mistake getting into the car business. I like my Apple computers and iPhones, but Apple would have a seriously hard time impressing me with a new car, electric or not.
If I were Mr. Apple, I would try to get my technology into cars first. For example, GM really needs to drop the horrible, crappy MyLink system and replace it with an iPad. GM makes decent cars but their interfaces suck. Replacing MyLink with an in-dash iPad would be much better and far less expensive. Tesla's interface is pretty good...
