I wonder if this is just a necessary legal/regulatory step in order for them to start running Virtual Power Plants in the UK. There was a recent article stating that they recently ran a successful test of a 100,000 node VPP in California. Up until now I’ve only heard of them being 1000-2000 nodes, so that test is a massive improvement.

Tesla anything shouldn’t be allowed to operate in the UK (or anywhere in Europe for that matter).
Or anywhere on earth
Or the universe.
Now now…lets not be hasty. If Elon Musk wants to leave earth, I won’t attempt to stop him.
Fuck, no.
For context, UK domestic energy suppliers don’t actually do any generation or distribution - they just retail electricity produced and distributed by others. So they can buy wholesale energy and attempt to compete on price, customer service, or other innovative products (eg Octopus’s dynamic pricing).
Normally I’d expect Tesla to do an Uber-style approach of subsiding the prices for the first couple of years to try to capture market share, as well as the more obvious vertical integration with their cars. But in this market, switching suppliers is too easy to make that worthwhile

There is no paywall.
The Guardian is actually the only major newspaper that refuses to charge readers for content.
We haven’t put up a paywall. Instead, we want to remain a strong, progressive force that is open for all.
They rely on small donors (like me).

Sure looks like a paywall to me, except you get a choice of a currency you can pay with.
And you don’t even need to do that. Press “Reject all and subscribe” and then go back in your browser.
Ideally, so few people sign up on principle that it is hugely embarrassing for him. They’d have to call it “Not tesla” to stand half a chance.
Unfortunately not everyone can afford principles in this world and I wouldn’t blame them for signing up if tesla’s strategy is to buy market share but I would hope that if tesla pricing is normal, they get shunned.
