[Engadget The Morning After logo]( Now available on your smart speaker and wherever you get your podcasts [Apple Podcasts]( | [Spotify]( | [Google Play]( | [iHeart Radio]( It's Tuesday, June 01, 2021 I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend if you got the time off. You might have missed confirmation that Tesla’s refreshed Model X and Model S cars are packing powerful chips from AMD. The company’s CEO Lisa Su confirmed the new Teslas [will feature AMD APUs]( (Ryzen chips with built-in Radeon graphics) for their infotainment systems.

In fact, Uber had its biggest total gross bookings this March.

[[The Morning After] Engadget]( Don't expect the PlayStation 5 or Nintendo's rumored Switch upgrade to get Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos support anytime soon. Dolby Atmos offers enhanced surround sound that adds height channels, while Dolby Vision is the company’s take on HDR video enhancements. Microsoft apparently has console exclusivity on both for two years, according to an Xbox Wire France blog post.
