Notes From All Over -- Apple Car Could Partner With GM -- Source -- February 2, 2021

Local: will trend toward 80°F this week; what's not to like. No snow forecast for north Texas.

Oh!-lena:

  • crushes New Jersey; snowfall measured in feet, not inches
  • could bury NYC in two feet of snow; updates here;
  • snowfall will go on all day; through nightfall; 
  • in Pennsylvania, three bodies were found in an apparent murder-suicide linked to a dispute over snow shoveling on Monday, as Storm Orlena ...
  • next storm on its way -- yet unnamed; will arrive midwest later this week 
  • Cincinnati: previous record low, 11°F; this storm will dip into single-digit
  • global warming smacks the east -- not "cold" but arctic;

Apple:

  • Apple Car to use Hyundai's E-GMP battery electric platform; link here;
    • Apple: GM partnership also possible
  • Apple TV+: record weekend viewers with Palmer launch; finally; link here;
  • Apple Card: will go joint; allow for multiple people to use same Apple Card account
  • Apple ports: still the biggest Apple computer story in past few day -- adding more ports to the new MacBook Pro -- eliminate need for all those dongles

Tesla:

  • recalls roughly 135,000 vehicles over screen failures; link here;
  • system simply runs out of memory space
  • unable to fix it "over the air"
  • so, now, every six years, not only do the batteries need to be replaced but the operating system needs to be replaced
  • might as well replace the model every six years whether one wants to or not
  • TSLA shares: up $34; up 4% on this news of a massive recall;
