    I presume they will hold your electrical supply hostage if you ever make post criticism of their Nazi CEO?

          In case anyone else wants a template:

          I would like to object to Tesla becoming a UK electricity supplier. I do not believe the person who cut USAID and is projected to lead to the deaths of 14 million people (double the member of Jews killed in the holocaust) should be put in charge of anyone’s electricity supply in the UK.

          That kind of psychopathic behaviour should not be anywhere near a vital and live saving service.

      …because every electrical appliance in your house is now connected to the internet and recording you.

        Naw, actually Palantir AI is analyzing all data it has collected about you and predicts the likelihood that you will do something disruptive to the oligarchy.

        If you’re determined to be a threat to Elon you will be exterminated ahead of time!

    electricity supply is regulated in the UK to the extent that companies cannot make money while fully complying with Ofgem rules, that have matured over the past 40 years or so.

    They will either make no profit at all, or end up paying the regulator large fines all the time. I’m fine with this.

      Or in true shit company fashion, promise to follow the rules, not follow them, then sue/petition the various bodies that they can’t make money unless the rules are removed.

        cool but then all the energy companies will be able to do that, so they will:

        • enable a much more competitive market for everyone else
        • still have huge investments to make to get a seat at the table
        • struggle to win business because their brand is trash
