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;
