This is near 100% confirmation that Tesla won't get a permit to roll out FSD Supervised in Europe.
My hunch is that the Regulator needs Tesla's FSD data, which Tesla has refused to submit even to regulators in California since 2014.
I wonder what Tesla has to hide?

They have none of the upside they had in 2023, but the P/E is still 9x - 9x! - mkt avg.
Eventually they will run out of "greater fools" and this will unwind like Enron and 2008 combined.
