*Popular car maker coming out with brand new Tesla competitors (very soon)*

It's been five years since Kia (KIMTF) - Get Free Report attended the CES event in Las Vegas and the Korean carmaker has decided that's long enough. CES — billed as "the most powerful tech event in the world" — is slated to run Jan. 9-12 in Neon City and over 130,000 people are expected to attend.Related: Tesla's new luxury rival introduces its first electric SUV Nearly 300 Fortune Global 500 companies have registered for the trade show, which is scheduled to cover 41 different technical categories.

Kia will unveil its new purpose-built EVs next month at CES https://t.co/UA5GvCtYSW by @EVPeteJohnson— Electrek.co (@ElectrekCo) December 14, 2023 Intel (INTC) - Get Free Report CEO Pat Gelsinger is set to discuss "the critical roles that silicon and software play in making AI more accessible, providing powerful computers and enabling modern economies," according to the event's organizers.'Platform Beyond Vehicle' So it's hardly surprising that Kia would pick this monstrous tech gathering to launch its new purpose-built electric vehicles while mapping its plan for the future. For the record, a PBV, or purpose built vehicles, has a specific purpose of use that involves moving passengers or cargo safety. Kia, however, has decided to redefine that definition to mean "Platform Beyond Vehicle." The Kia PBV exhibition is set to feature five concept models, including its first PBV scheduled for mass production starting in 2025, a range of Kia-exclusive PBV technology, and a PBV-dedicated presentation and demonstration highlighting the company's software-defined vehicle strategy and plans for partnership integration. The company's EV exhibition will introduce Kia's vision of "EVs for All" by displaying the EV3 and EV4 concept cars alongside the EV9 and EV6 GT, while showcasing the numerous lifestyle benefits customers can enjoy from Kia's rapidly expanding EV lineup. The company will showcase technologies like Easy Swap, which helps transform vehicles such as taxis into dedicated delivery products, and Dynamic Hybrid, which assists in the assembly of variously sized vehicle bodies to facilitate low-volume production of a diverse range of models.Looking to produce more EVs PBV has been Kia's latest focus. The company has been building a $770 million PBV manufacturing facility in Korea. Production is scheduled to start in December 2024. Kia plans to produce 150,000 units in the first year at the facility, with the potential to expand “in line with future market conditions.” The company has said that its goal is to achieve an annual sales target of one million electric vehicles by 2026 and increase it to 1.6 million units per year by 2030. Earlier this year, Kia said that it planned to add robotaxis to its lineup of PBVs. Kia America recently reported 58,338 vehicle sales in the U.S. in November, up nearly 3% than a year ago, and the best-ever November. The company also started customer deliveries of the all-new three-row SUV Kia EV9. And speaking of PBVs, Rivian (RIVN) - Get Free Report announced a deal with AT&T (T) - Get Free Report to purchase the electric vehicle maker's vans and R1 vehicles for its commercial fleet. Rivian said it still plans to make 100,000 vehicles for Amazon (AMZN) - Get Free Report, and has already delivered 10,000 trucks to the online retailer, which is also a shareholder.

*Another signal of why celebrities and athletes are flocking to this popular investment*

Ryan Reynolds and Snoop Dogg were both eyeing the same billion-dollar investment back in May. A few months later, both A-list celebrities missed out on the same prize. The investment was to become team owners of the National Hockey League's (NHL) Ottawa Senators. In June, the Senators were sold for $950 million, a 19% increase in value to Forbes' 2022 valuation of the franchise. That impressive valuation growth is actually significantly lower than the 29% year-on-year increase of the average NHL team, according to Forbes' 2023 NHL valuation list released on Friday.Related: NBA franchise crosses massive valuation milestone The Senators' near $1 billion valuation is even on the lower side for the top professional hockey league, ranking just 24 out of 32 teams, and below the $1.33 billion average among the franchises. The highest valuation belonged to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who were valued at $2.8 billion, a 40% increase versus last year. The Leafs took the top spot from the New York Rangers, whose value still jumped up 20% to sit at $2.65 billion. The Montreal Canadiens were in third at $2.3 billion, while the Los Angeles Kings sat at exactly $2 billion, the only other franchise to break that barrier.NHL franchise values below other pro sports leagues The value of the average NHL franchise still rank well below other major professional sports teams in the National Football League ($5.1 billion), National Basketball Association ($3.85 billion), and Major League Baseball ($2.32 billion), but the average growth versus 2022 of an NHL franchise is still much higher than that of the NFL (14%) and MLB (12%).Related: Women's sports are about to cross a billion-dollar milestone, and this could just be the beginning But double-digit growth across the board for the four major sports leagues solidifies steep growth of investments in sports teams.Reynolds, Snoop Dogg could try again While Reynolds and Snoop Dogg weren't successful in reeling in an NHL franchise, they could easily bid should another one enter the market. There are also growing ways now for celebrities or other athletes to gain team ownership as private equity has already entered the NBA, MLB, and NHL. This has allowed big names to invest in these firms who then put that money into sports franchises. Reynolds has already had success since acquiring Wrexham F.C. alongside fellow actor and friend Rob McElhenney, and the two have continued their sports investments by acquiring a stake in the Formula One team Alpine. Other athletes and celebrities like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Michael B. Jordan are also part of ownership group. It makes sense why a lot of these big names choose to park their money in sports franchises when looking at year-on-year growth, but long term examples make the case even more compelling. Mark Cuban sold a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks for a valuation worth $3.5 billion last month. He bought the franchise for $285 million in 2000, a 1,300% increase in his investment when not taking into account inflation. For any potential owners, whether majority or minority, that type of growth seems like a hard proposition to pass up on.

*How the CEO of X can lure back big advertisers*

As Elon Musk continues to feud with companies such as Disney and Apple who have pulled their advertising from X, CEO Linda Yaccarino is left in a challenging position. Scott Powell, CEO of Skyline Corporate Communications Group, joined TheStreet to explore strategies for enticing these major advertisers back to the company.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: Of course, we've talked about the flights from major advertisers. What does this tell you about the Herculean effort that some say that now CEO Linda Yaccarino herself a longtime ad executive, that she has to assuage the concerns from advertisers that either have left the platform or are looking at the erratic behavior of Elon Musk and saying maybe this just simply isn't a place where we want to store our ad dollars and we have all these other options in the marketplace. SCOTT POWELL: It's to be honest, it's made her job really difficult. And this was an unintended consequence of his one sentence tweet on X a while back. And it's unfortunate because this is a perfect example of, okay, X is now a private company. He's bought it. He owns the majority of of X. But this is still an example of a private company and a negative impact being had on that because now the CEO she has a difficult job now of a trying to replenish those advertising dollars either by bringing in new partners or to bring back some of the corporate sponsors that left and try and convince them to come back to that platform. I think the only real way to convince them is to explain what he actually meant from that post. I think he's made some comments and statements afterwards, but really in detail. What was he trying to say with that? It created a lot of controversy, obviously, because of what's happening, you know, globally. And then to restore investor confidence or advertising sponsors confidence, that really should be some kind of a statement that we're going to be hiring a PR agency or someone in-house that is going to be working with Mr. Musk to make sure that when he makes public comments, whether they're on TV or on social media, that these comments are well thought out, are well developed before these statements are being made. Now, a lot of individuals call them like cult of personalities, if you will. Some of these some of these personalities are larger than life. And we all know some of the others that have been in the media over the years. It can be difficult for someone like that to understand and realize that he or she needs this assistance, needs this help. But I think if he were to take that step and make a statement that we are we are I'm going to be more filtered. I'm not going to stop saying what I believe in, but it's simply going to be delivered in a more professional manner. You know, swearing on stage at, you know, here in New York City is not, in my opinion, very professional. I never really understand the need for vulgarity at all. But, you know, just I think making those statements, coming up with a plan, messaging that to the public and and then trying to convince some of these advertisers to come back. But it certainly made her job very difficult.
