Sweden Seeks EU Ban on Tesla FSD Over Speeding Feature; Musk Exercises 304M Options
TSLA sits 38% above its 52-week low of $288.77.
Summary
Sweden is pushing the EU tech committee to block Tesla's FSD (Supervised) rollout unless a feature allowing cars to exceed speed limits is removed, with a discussion scheduled for June 30. This regulatory challenge is significant given Tesla's strategic pivot towards robotaxis and AI, potentially impacting a major market. Separately, Elon Musk exercised options for approximately 304 million shares, surrendering about 17.5 million shares to cover a $7.09 billion tax bill, which implements the 2018 performance award detailed in the April 30 10-K. ARK Invest also made a minor, non-material purchase of $21.9 million in shares. The EU tech committee's decision on June 30 is a key event to watch.
