Chinese automaker unveils AI-powered EV with impressive capabilities: 'Hardcore technology'
According to Car News China, Xpeng unveiled its latest model, the G7, back in early June. The car combines "hardcore technology with spacious comfort," says Xpeng chairman He Xiaopeng.
The G7 will have the same electric 292-horsepower engine as its predecessor, the G6, and is expected to demonstrate low energy consumption. However, the engine and battery play second fiddle to the car's list of features, which help the G7 fit Xiaopeng's description of the car, per Car News China, as an intelligent SUV.
First and foremost among those features is the car's Turing AI chip, designed by the company. The Turing chip will enable self-driving as well as the car's augmented reality head-up display — or AR-HUD — system.
That HUD just may be the star of the G7 show. With an 87-inch display, it utilizes the Turing chip to analyze data and project information across multiple lanes, covering up to eight different driving scenarios. It projects navigation data over the real-world view, which could aid in decision-making and improve safety.
The Turing chip also supports features like lane-level navigation, assisted driving, and the standard array of safety alerts, such as lane departure and pedestrian warnings, according to Car News China. It can also help drivers navigate poor weather.
If that wasn't enough, the G7's price is pretty eye-opening. It comes in at just $36,000 — at least $8,000 cheaper than the Tesla Model Y.
Replacing a gas-powered car with an EV is a fantastic way to save on fuel costs and reduce one's carbon footprint. Drivers can also enhance the savings and environmental benefits by installing solar panels at home to power their EVs using cleaner, more affordable energy.
For those looking to switch to solar, EnergySage offers free tools to connect prospective buyers with vetted local installers, potentially saving consumers up to $10,000 on solar installation.
Xpeng started accepting presale orders for the G7 on June 11 in China. Deliveries are expected to begin later this year.

Not Just Buffett and Burry, But This Billionaire Investor Also Bet Big on UnitedHealth Stock (UNH) in Q2
Billionaire investor David Tepper increased his stake in the struggling health insurance giant, UnitedHealth (UNH), during Q2. His move mirrors Warren Buffett 's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), which also revealed a new $1.57 billion stake in UNH stock. Further, Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management bought calls on 350,000 shares. 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. UNH stock gained 14% on Friday as bullish bets from Top hedge funds boosted investor hopes for a rebound. According to a recent 13F filing, Tepper's Appaloosa Management LP added 2.3 million shares of UNH, bringing the total value of the stake to $764 million. This makes UNH the fund's second-largest holding after Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba (BABA). Tepper's bet comes at a turbulent time for UnitedHealth, which is dealing with a criminal probe into Medicare billing, a CEO shakeup, and the aftermath of a massive cyberattack. UNH stock has plunged about 40% year-to-date. Tepper Shifts Strategy on China Tepper's bet on UNH aligns with his investment strategy, which involves making bold bets on companies that others are avoiding. It is similar to his earlier investment in Chinese stocks, which he began buying last year when many investors were pulling back over economic and geopolitical concerns. It must be noted that those investments paid off as China's MSCI benchmark surged 46% over the past year due to Beijing's economic stimulus efforts. However, Tepper is now taking a more cautious approach. The fund reduced its holdings in major Chinese companies amid rising trade tensions. Appaloosa cut its stake in Alibaba by over 20% and also trimmed its positions in (JD), Baidu (BIDU), and PDD Holdings (PDD). Tepper's Other Bullish Bets Apart from UNH, the investor also ramped up his stake in Nvidia (NVDA), adding 1.45 million shares for a total of 1.75 million. This 483% increase brings the position's value to over $276 million. Also, he made some notable new investments last quarter. These include tech giant Intel (INTC), with 8 million shares valued at $179.2 million, and aerospace and defense company RTX (RTX), with 585,000 shares worth $85.4 million. The third-largest new buy is health information technology and clinical research provider IQVIA Holdings (IQV), with 300,000 shares valued at $47.3 million. Is UNH a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, UNH stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 18 Buys, four Holds, and two Sells assigned in the last three months. At $312.65, the average UnitedHealth stock price target implies a 2.17% upside potential.

‘Joyride Might Be Over,' Says Top Investor About Nvidia Stock
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has built a reputation for consistently shattering quarterly earnings projections – a fact seasoned investors know all too well. But that winning streak can be a double-edged sword, as even a solid beat doesn't always translate into immediate post-earnings gains. 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. That dynamic makes Nvidia's upcoming fiscal Q2 2026 earnings on August 27 especially intriguing. Momentum is already firmly in the bulls' corner, with NVDA shares up 91% since hitting a trough in early April. Expectations remain strong, though not at the triple-digit pace NVDA has delivered in its best quarters. The average analyst estimate of $45.75 billion points to year-over-year growth of 52.31%, with margins expected to hold at an impressive 72%. On paper, such results could still tempt investors to add shares ahead of the report – even if history suggests a short-term lull is possible afterward. But not everyone is convinced. One top investor, known as Oakoff Investments, is taking a far more cautious stance. 'I don't like the setup formed in NVDA's price action as it approaches the Q2 earnings release date,' warns the 5-star investor, who is among the top 4% of TipRanks' stock pros. Oakoff's caution stems largely from concerns about Nvidia's sales to China. While previous U.S. restrictions appear to have been lifted, there are signs the Chinese government may impose its own limits. That also possibility raises the stakes for Nvidia to deliver outsized growth in other regions to sustain investor enthusiasm – a task Oakoff believes is becoming increasingly difficult. 'If the market gets a slight hint towards further deterioration on this front, the stock may sell off badly even if NVDA beats the headline numbers as strongly as it did during the past 2 years,' Oakoff opined. Valuation is another sticking point. After months of gains, Oakoff argues the rally has been fueled by multiple expansion, pushing NVDA's Forward P/E ratio to an 'unsustainable' 42.5x. The result, according to Oakoff, is a setup vulnerable to disappointment. Given these risks, the investor is leaning toward profit-taking before the earnings call. 'I maintain a Hold rating, believing NVDA stock's high valuation and the new China uncertainty outweigh the likelihood of a strong Q2 beat,' Oakoff says. (To watch Oakoff Investments' track record, click here) Wall Street, in contrast, remains almost 'all in' on NVDA. With 35 Buys, 3 Holds, and a solitary Sell rating, the stock enjoys a Strong Buy consensus rating.

[PREMIERING 5PM ET] These Are the Signs Xi Is Losing Power in China
As the Trump administration gives China another 90-day extension on elevated tariffs, I'm sitting down with China analyst Gordon Chang to get his read on U.S.–China trade talks, signs of infighting in Beijing and trouble for Xi Jinping, and the recent destruction of a Chinese coast guard vessel by a Chinese navy warship.
