What would they synergize? Apple is known for marketing, which is already Elons speciality.
Tesla cars are first revision technology, which means almost starting from scratch anyway.
Two companies that live on reputation instead of quality would tarnish both.
- xkjkls 7y agoApple's limitless access to capital would be one. Tesla has really had dial down many of their ambitions because of how expensive it is for them to raise capital.
- Traster 7y agoApple is known for its operations. Tim Cooke was head of ops before he was CEO, imagine Tesla produced the same cars as today, but when it wanted to ship its inventory to Europe it didn't tank an entire quarter of sales because of fuck ups? Or imagine if Tesla had a competent scale-up of manufacturing their Model 3. Those are the things that Apple could help a lot with.
