Well, you got the "Insane" part correct at least. Why on earth would Apple acquire a niche car company? About the only thing useful to them would be the battery tech (if it's even applicable - I don't know) and they could just snaffle up a bunch of smaller companies working on batteries instead.

Remember that Apple have never paid more than a couple of hundred $M for any acquisition. Tesla would be ... more than that.

Well, you got the "Insane" part correct at least. Why on earth would Tesla want to be acquired by Apple who stifles innovation and would most likely try to make an 'iCar' instead of something looking good and having great engineering at a cheap price.
