Summary

Tesla Shares Surge

Tesla shares rose 1.7% to $440.90 after European registrations jumped 46.5% in April, reaching 10,654 vehicles and lifting 2026 European sales to 89,429, a 45.8% year-over-year rise.
Tesla’s EU market share grew to 0.9% from 0.6% as BYD’s registrations surged 152.9% and Chery’s rose 322% in April.

Summary

Tesla Gains Approval

Tesla received its first European approval for supervised Full Self-Driving in the Netherlands.
The company expects EU-wide authorization in Q2/Q3 2026, with regulators set to vote on broader approval in July 2026.
CEO Elon Musk said the lack of supervised FSD approval limits European sales.
Analysts say the pending clearance aligns with Tesla’s plan to replicate the U.S. experience in Europe and could boost registrations.

History

Historical Context

In July 2021 Germany amended its Road Traffic Act to allow Level 4 autonomous vehicles on public roads, requiring driver-free software and a minimal-risk state. The law, building on earlier EU safety rules and Nevada’s 2011 precedent, is the model Elon Musk cites while seeking Full-Self-Driving approval in the Netherlands; a 2021 Canalys report noted that about 33 % of new cars worldwide already include advanced driver-assistance systems.
