Beat It Musk! Thousands of Brits Aim to Block ‘Unfit' Tesla's U.K. Energy Plan
Thousands of angry Brits have told Tesla (TSLA) boss Elon Musk to pull the plug on plans to enter the country's energy supply market. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Over 8,000 people have asked energy regulator Ofgem to block Tesla from supplying British households with electricity over owner Elon Musk's 'clear political agenda'. License Bid Tesla Energy Ventures is currently trying to get approval for an energy license from regulator Ofgem to supply British households and take on giants such as British Gas owner Centrica and Octopus Energy. If successful, it hopes to start switching on supply next year. Members of the public have until Friday to comment on the application, after which Ofgem will decide whether to grant Tesla a licence to supply electricity. They haven't been holding back. According to campaign group Best for Britain, 8,462 people have used its online tool to lodge objections with Ofgem. The group believes that Musk is not a 'fit and proper' person to have a 'foothold in our essential services.' Best for Britain's chief executive Naomi Smith said: 'We've all had a front row seat to Musk's malign influence, turning Twitter into an incubator for right-wing hate. British people are rightly against Musk being anywhere near our electricity supply and that's why we are encouraging more people to make their views known before Friday.' Tesla has had its troubles this year with its EV arm, faced by stiffer competition and the hit to brand reputation caused by Musk's involved in the Trump administration. This has impacted the company's previous 'tour de force' share price performance. However, it has a burgeoning solar energy and battery storage business and has been an electricity supplier in Texas for the past three years. Good Energy Tesla's energy business saw total energy generation and storage revenue jump 67% year over year to more than $10 billion in 2024. After deploying 14.7 gigawatt hours (GWh) of storage in 2023, Tesla more than doubled this figure to 31.4 GWh in 2024. Its Megapack product – a grid-scale battery storage solution designed for utilities and large-scale commercial customers, has led the way. The company is producing Megapacks at its dedicated Lathrop, California, facility, and recently started production at a second Megapack factory in Shanghai, with a target production of up to 40 GWh of capacity per year. The British business is expected to be branded TeslaElectric and could focus on supplying electricity to consumers who own Tesla products such as cars or batteries. Indeed, according to industry experts, Tesla is in a strong position in the U.K. to start supplying if the license application is approved. It has sold more than a quarter of a million EVs and tens of thousands of home storage batteries, called Powerwalls, in the UK, which could help it gain access to a sizeable customer base for an electricity supply business. Is TSLA a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, TSLA has a Hold consensus based on 14 Buy, 15 Hold and 8 Sell ratings. Its highest price target is $500. TSLA stock's consensus price is $307.23, implying an 8.33% downside.

This New Supercar Has a V-12 Engine, Manual Transmission, and $4 Million Price Tag
Garagisti & Co., a British firm, just unveiled a new supercar that has a V-12 engine, a manual transmission, and weighs around one ton. It also might be confused with Italian supercars with a lot more history if you don't look too close. The Garagisti & Co. GP1 debuted the car on Friday, and the V-12 is a 6.6-liter bespoke, naturally aspirated engine, according to Top Gear. It's said to make 789 brake horsepower, which for a car that weighs 1,000 kilograms, or around 2,200 pounds, is perhaps more than enough. The transmission is said to be a six-speed manual, and the engine will power the rear wheels, making the GP1 a throwback in more ways than one. More from Robb Report The Last Home Donald Wexler Ever Designed Just Hit the Market in Palm Springs Lamborghini and Sonus Faber Just Dropped a Limited-Edition Loudspeaker Brooklyn's Oldest Distillery Just Dropped an Excellent New Rye Whiskey There is no word yet on stats like a zero-to-60 time, top speed, or a quarter-mile time, but if the weight and power numbers are to be believed, it will be fast. Handling might be a little more complicated, given the rear-wheel drive, but cars from days past of this ilk suffered from similar setbacks. Inside, the interior is minimalist, part of the weight-saving, and there are carbon bits, including the monocoque, to save weight as well. 'What if the golden age of analogue supercars never ended? What if icons like the Countach Evoluzione had sparked a lineage rather than a dead-end? What would the great cars of the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s look like today if they'd evolved with new technology but kept their analogue soul?' Marco Escudero, Garagisti & Co.'s president, said, according to Top Gear. 'We brought together some of the best minds in the world and answered that question with our hands, our hearts, and our passion. The GP1 is our answer.' These are, indeed, the questions that many of us spend our days asking ourselves, or at least chatting with our therapists about. They are questions we might still be asking if the Garagisti & Co. GP1 never gets built, since the car, for now, is just a render. If it does see the true light of day, the GP1 won't come cheap. Garagisti & Co. says it will make 25 new GP1s, at just under $4 million per car, with many details of the car, including the livery, up to customers, in the bespoke mold. One might assume that whether the GP1 goes into production or not will be up to customers, of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.
