We highlight Il Messaggero’s report on Tesla’s Full Self Driving Supervised gaining regulatory traction in multiple European countries, with claims of significantly improved road safety. The episode also examines the NTSB’s initial findings on a fatal FSD related crash in Texas and the legal and design implications for Tesla’s driver assistance systems. Finally, it notes a pair of Tesla thefts in Lithuania as a reminder of practical security issues for owners.

Tesla News - SpaceX Valuation, Musk Legal Risks, Anti-Elon ETFs

Tesla trades in a tight consolidation just under 400 dollars after recent strength, while a surge of Elon Musk–related headlines reshapes the risk landscape for shareholders. SpaceX’s massive IPO sits at the center of this story: The Motley Fool argues its trillion‑plus valuation makes Tesla’s historical millionaire‑maker path hard to repeat for new SpaceX investors, and Jeremy Grantham warns via Finanzen.net that SpaceX will likely suffer a major valuation collapse, viewing much of its pricing as speculative AI and deep‑space hype. At the same time, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung explains how the SpaceX IPO has delivered huge fees and trading revenue to Wall Street banks and reopened the broader IPO window, which indirectly supports sentiment toward high‑beta names like Tesla.

Additional segments cover Tesla’s push in Australia for a fair, nationwide road‑user charge that does not single out electric vehicles, and Slovenia’s move toward approving Tesla’s supervised Full Self‑Driving system, adding to the list of European countries where advanced autonomy features are allowed. Together, these developments show Tesla juggling production strategy, regulatory battles, and long‑term technology bets that will shape both it

Tesla News - EU Tariffs, FSD Safety, Robotaxi Rules, Musk Merger Talk

This episode focuses on how EU tariffs are pushing Tesla to shift European supply away from China and toward higher‑cost EU production, reshaping its margin profile and competitive positioning against fast‑moving Chinese brands. It then examines safety and regulatory pressures on Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving and driver‑monitoring systems, including a Canadian incident where a driver appeared to sleep at highway speeds and a new Chinese trend of using doll heads to fool in‑cabin cameras, raising the prospect of more intrusive countermeasures like facial recognition. Broader US regulatory moves against robotaxi failures, highlighted by NHTSA’s ultimatum after Waymo’s July Fourth breakdown, and Uber’s lobbying for hybrid human‑robot networks, show how the legal landscape could constrain or redirect Tesla’s eventual robotaxi ambitions. The episode closes with capital‑market stories around Elon Musk’s postponed CNBC appearance amid SpaceX’s public debut and J.P. Morgan’s view that a Tesla–Spac
