    Cue everyone with an Apple product going "Yippeee" and everyone else going "Oh no :( "

    lol like the pun - talk is cheap.

    I never said if I agreed or disagreed with the tie up as such. I'm not a particular fan of Apple BUT I don't think I'd ever get another Android phone either.

    But you're right. Musk is no fool and if he thinks there's potential between the two companies, then there's a good chance there will be.

    I think I know what you mean. Tesla has a REAL product that THEY manufacture. Apple doesn't make anything. They pay Chinese sweat shops to build their phones . . . . and if rumors are true, that's exactly how they'll build EV's. Apple is being sued by large format battery manufacturers for stealing away battery designer/engineers that are under contracts to not go to their competition. But . . . . apple has zillions . . . . so it's likely they'll be able to absorb those hits.
