Certain law enforcement officials from California are seemingly impressed by Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) vehicles customized for police use by vehicle customizer Unplugged Performance. 
What Happened: Unplugged Performance in December held an event where law enforcement executives tried out the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/04/38257550/tesla-model-y-enters-anaheim-police-fleet-in-new-pilot-initiative">Tesla vehicles upgraded</a> by the company. 
The officials drove the Tesla vehicles around at an EVOC facility and also compared it to a Ford Explorer PIU (Police Interceptor Utility SUV) with some concluding that the Tesla is way more fun to drive than the Explorer. 
Feedback From Law Enforcement Officials:&nbsp;&#8220;I think the difference between the two vehicles is just absolutely staggering. So after doing roughly you know 20/30 laps in the Tesla handling that course and then I jumped in the Explorer, did the same course, and I can tell you right off the bat I pretty much didn&#8217;t want to be in the Explorer anymore,&#8221; one of the officers said in the video premiered on YouTube on Tuesday.
An official, who had previously never driven a Tesla, said that the experience changed his perspective positively.
&#8220;I&#8217;d never driven one until today and I have a different mindset here at 2 p.m. than I did this morning at 6 a.m.,&#8221; he said. 
Why It Matters: Unplugged Performance,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39240046/tesla-customizer-upfits-cybertruck-for-the-police-forces-elon-musk-thinks-its-cool"> based out of California</a>, has been enhancing Tesla vehicles since 2013 and is located next to the company's design studio. 
According to Unplugged Performance, an upgraded Model Y AWD Patrol vehicle will cost $92,580, including upfitting costs, marginally higher than the Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWD Hybrid priced at $89,600.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Buys Into Defense And Energy Stocks Amid Trump's Inaugural Policies

Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) experienced a 15% surge in premarket trading on Wednesday on the heels of the company announcing a 16%<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43119464/netflix-raises-prices-16-peter-schiff-warns-of-escalating-inflation-risks-ahead-of-trump-policies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> price hike for its standard streaming plan.</a>
What Happened: Netflix&#8217;s shares saw an increase of $128.14 in the premarket, following a 1.35% rise at the close of the previous day, ending at $869.68. 
The price increase, which took the&nbsp;ad-free standard plan from $15.49&nbsp;to $17.99 per month, was announced in conjunction with Netflix&#8217;s impressive fourth-quarter earnings report.

The earnings report highlighted a 16% year-over-year revenue growth, reaching $10.25 billion, and a subscriber increase of 18.91 million. This surge in subscribers brought the total number of paid memberships to a staggering 301.63 million. The price increase also impacted the premium tier, now priced at $24.99, and the ad-supported option, which rose to $7.99.
Netflix&#8217;s robust performance, marked by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-highlights-nfl-squid-game-power-best-subscriber-growth-in-company-history">record operating income surpassing</a>&nbsp;$10 billion for fiscal 2024,&nbsp;suggests a promising future for the company. Netflix anticipates its 2025 revenue to fall&nbsp;between $43.5 billion and $44.5&nbsp;billion, indicating a 12-14% growth. This projection underscores Netflix&#8217;s relatively&nbsp;small current share of the&nbsp;estimated $650 billion market opportunity&nbsp;across its key regions.
The company&#8217;s strong performance, driven by popular shows like &#8216;Squid Game&#8217; and its NFL content, has led to a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43104552/youtube-vs-netflix-streamers-top-usage-leaderboard-in-december-sector-makes-more-gains-on-broadcast-and-cable">increase in its subscriber base.</a> The price hike, which is the largest in the company&#8217;s history, is a bold move that reflects Netflix&#8217;s confidence in its future growth and content offerings.
