☆ Tesla owners will hate waiting in charging lines behind Ford and GM cars, analyst says

Tesla owners have previously enjoyed sole access to the company's charging stations. Tesla owners probably won't be very happy that the EV maker is opening up its Supercharger network to outsiders. Tesla's Supercharger network is comprised of some 7,000 locations in North America, according to the Department of Energy. But allowing other car owners to use the network may also eventually benefit Tesla owners, too. How do you feel about Tesla allowing other EV owners to use the Supercharger network?

☆ What Apple's entry into virtual reality means for the future of Meta Platforms and the metaverse
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-11 | by ( Samantha Subin | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Meta Platforms ' vision to sell a future where people work, play and mingle in a virtual world may finally be getting its long-overdue validation thanks to an unlikely partner. Apple on Monday unveiled its highly anticipated mixed reality product, known as Vision Pro , at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference . So confident in the bright future of the metaverse, Facebook rebranded itself as Meta Platforms in 2021 to better reflect its vision beyond social media. More than a year and a half later Apple's metaverse entry may finally offer the much-needed support to Meta's overambitious vision, and lure once skeptical investors back to the virtual world. With the company — and metaverse vision — so dependent on consumer adoption, this creates a difficult near-term setup, Meeks said.

Tesla will let Ford and GM access its Supercharger network starting in 2024. Tesla is beginning to show just how much potential its technology and infrastructure really have. Starting in 2024, both automakers will be able to give their customers access to Tesla's expansive charging network with adapters. But this may just be the beginning of Tesla starting to cash in on its proprietary technologies. Even with the addition of Ford, GM, and other car makers," Munster said.

Apple's mixed-reality headset is finally here, but it isn't talking about the metaverse. Apple may see the term metaverse, pushed by Mark Zuckerberg, as confusing and alienating. Apple mixed-reality headset, called Vision Pro, is finally here but for anyone watching the grand unveiling in Cupertino something was conspicuously missing: The metaverse didn't get a single mention. At no point did the Apple CEO use the term metaverse. "In the same way Mac introduced us to personal computing, and iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro will introduce us to spatial computing," he said.

Apple is on the cusp of revealing its future post-iPhone with a big bet on the metaverse. Tim Cook is expected to unveil a new mixed reality headset at WWDC in his riskiest move yet. Apple has the tough task of convincing the world the metaverse is still the future as interest dips. But emerging signs suggest Apple would have a seriously tough time shipping units for its metaverse bet. "If you believe there's something beyond a smartphone then it's probably the metaverse," Munster said.

All told, there is a nearly $6 trillion in revenue opportunity from AI across the internet industry, a March report from Morgan Stanley found. "UBER/LYFT/DASH already use ML [machine learning] in their matching algorithms (matching rides/eaters with drivers/couriers)," Morgan Stanley wrote in its report. AI tailwind for Uber Uber has both its ride-sharing service and UberEats food delivery business. According to Morgan Stanley, AI and machine learning will be a tailwind to network efficiency. "The extent to which AI drives substantial improvements in top-line growth could lead to teens upside [for the stock]," Morgan Stanley said.

☆ Even Apple will have a hard time making the metaverse cool

Apple must do what no other tech company has done: make the metaverse cool. The iPhone maker is widely expected to debut its mixed-reality headset next month. The company's making a risky move as the tech world retreats from the metaverse and fixates on AI. In other words, Apple has more to lose by not making a wager on a mixed-reality headset than if it did. "If you believe there's something beyond a smartphone then it's probably the metaverse," Munster said.

May 16 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) CEO Elon Musk warned on Tuesday that the electric-vehicle maker was not immune to the global economy, which he said will be difficult for the next 12 months.
