While CERN probably got our vote for best April Fools' Day prank, Tesla certainly wins for managing to convince the most amount of people.
In fact, the prank was so good that it actually sent the company's stocks soaring as shareholders genuinely believed the company had unveiled a new product.

Whoops.
