What Will Be When Tesla and Apple together?

Tesla and Apple Merger?  The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that executives from Tesla and Apple recently met to discuss a possible merger.  Industry insiders say that Apple could benefit from branching into other products, and Tesla would benefit from deep pockets needed to grow its small sales and manufacturing operations; so from that standpoint a merger would make sense for both companies.  Despite increasing technology in vehicles, tech companies and auto manufacturing are fundamentally different industries, and have distinct cultures and business models.  Having said that, a few years ago Toyota invested some $ 50 million in Tesla – perhaps we will see more of this in the future?  After all, Toyota is enjoying record profits, and is sitting on some $ 40 billion in cash, with no debt.
