Tesla Shares Up as EU Reviews FSD Data, Delivery Shortfall

6/15/2026

Summary

Tesla Shares Surge

Sweden’s transport agency received Tesla’s Full Self-Driving safety data, also sent to Netherlands, prompting an EU review that requires consent from countries covering 55% of member states and 65% of EU population.
Tesla shares rose to $412.09 pre-market, up 1.82% from Friday’s $406.43 close, reporting Q1 revenue of $22.39 billion, EPS $0.41 and free cash flow $1.44 billion.
Tesla delivered 358,023 vehicles in Q1 while building 408,386, creating an inventory shortfall.

Summary

Tesla Safety Scrutinized

Researchers say Tesla’s Full Self-Driving safety figures use flawed comparisons that overstate safety.
The European Transport Safety Council sent nine questions to Dutch regulator RDW on April 16, prompting Swedish investigators to warn the name is misleading because driver supervision is still required.
Analysts note that without EU-wide approval Tesla could struggle to regain market share after 2025 sales fell amid backlash over Musk’s political ties and Chinese EV competition.

Summary

Tesla FSD Expansion

Tesla is rebranding Full Self-Driving version 14 for China in a wider relaunch.
Estonia and Lithuania approved FSD in May 2026, followed by Denmark and Belgium in June, raising coverage to about 25 % of the world’s population (?1.1 billion).
Ashok Elluswamy said Tesla will launch FSD in Japan in 2026, adding roughly 120 million potential users.
Elon Musk said the platform is ready worldwide and expects the EU to be cleared before summer 2026.

History

Historical Context

EU Regulation 2019/2144, adopted in November 2019 and effective from 2022, established a unified type-approval system for automated and fully driverless vehicles. The Vehicle General Safety Regulation, in force since July 2022, also mandates intelligent speed assistance on all new cars. Tesla’s FSD data submissions to Sweden’s Transport Agency and the Dutch RDW are now judged against these EU rules, influencing its market rollout.
