I am really hoping at some point Apple buys Tesla.

Apple like its quality hardware.
Tesla hardware is more like wish.com materials.
Maybe Rivian, though?

You are right it could be Rivian as well and they would be much cheaper in the near future than Tesla.

Hard pass on them buying Rivian. I don't want my truck locked into their walled garden. Apple making BEVs makes very little sense at all, but I could see them getting into the infotainment and body controller business if they wanted to branch out in the hardware space.
