Weekly Highlights: Tesla's Model D, Apple iPad Tease And More

The week was fueled by hype for Tesla Motors Inc TSLA, and it ended with the introduction of a high-end Model S.

Tesla wasn't the only company building hype. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) teased its next event, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 16.

Apple was also rumored to be developing a two-in-one iPad that combines elements of its mobile and desktop operating systems.

Hewlett-Packard Company HPQ confirmed its plan to split up the business, and that could inspire another tech stalwart to do the same.

Last but not least, Goldman Sachs Group Inc GS was among the many financial institutions that helped support a new communications platform.
