Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) has plenty on its plate right now. The EV giant is pouring billions into high-profile bets such as robotaxis, humanoid robots, and a massive chip fabrication plant, all in the hope of unlocking its next phase of growth. But those ambitious investments are already showing up in the numbers, weighing on profits and pushing free cash flow into negative territory. Now, a major policy shift from Washington could give Tesla's energy business an unexpected boost. On Aug. 27, President Donald Trump signed an emergency order aimed at keeping certain foreign-made transformers and other critical power equipment out of the U.S. electric grid.
The order broadly restricts the purchase, import, or installation of certain foreign-made bulk-power system equipment and related software if they could create cybersecurity or operational risks. It also opens the door to new rules that could affect equipment already installed across the U.S. That could be a big deal for the U.S. energy industry. China currently accounts for roughly 80% of the world's battery and solar inverter manufacturing capacity, according to the International Energy Agency.
