Tesla FSD Cleared in Crash, EU Sales Surge 152%, Lands Multi-Billion Megapack Deal
Summary
Tesla's Full Self-Driving system was cleared in a Katy crash, with the company attributing the incident to driver input, mitigating a key regulatory risk. Operationally, European new passenger car registrations surged 152% year-over-year in May, leading analysts to raise Q2 delivery forecasts to 400k-420k vehicles. Critically, Tesla secured a major partnership to supply Megapack systems for NatPower across over 25 GWh in Europe, with the first phase targeting 100+ GWh and a $4-5 billion build cost. This multi-billion dollar energy deal significantly boosts Tesla's energy storage business and future revenue streams, while strong sales and FSD clearance provide a strong operational and regulatory update.
