For the first time, Tesla Motors Inc. closed above $200 after speculation about the nature of a 2013 meeting between Tesla chief Elon Musk and Apple Inc.’s head of mergers and acquisitions, Bloomberg News reports.
According to my media outlets, Musk, who is co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Tesla, met with Apple’s Adrian Perica in early 2013.
Tesla rose 2.8% to $203.70 in New York, the highest-ever closing price for the maker of Model S sedans.
Apple has taken an interest in cars, with iPhone voice Siri showing up in several models, including those from Chevrolet.
“Tesla, for its part, has tried to stay on the forefront of mobile electronics in its Model S sedan. The center console is dominated by a huge 17-inch touch screen, one of the largest in any current car, with ready access to the Internet,” according to a news report published in The Detroit Free Press.
