Great. More please.

500x increase in value. Tesla needed to shatter the chains of how it made money before to truly engage with the bright future of human operated self-operated robots and AI smut in front of it. Only, always, just 12 months away.

Ford should also be able to exit soon.  The others in the pool like Honda and Mazda seem to have made basically no effort to switch to BEVs or hybrids in a truly meaningful way so they'll be sticking around for a while.

DistributedView 2026-03-04 11:31

Everyone's leaving the pool as Elon curled one out into it 🤣🤣 Seriously though - Ford will be next, the Capri is based on a VW and the new Fiesta a Renault. Ford Europe are leaving the market by stealth.

shiroandae 2026-03-04 11:54

Yeah, less distractions by that pesky actual business.

MattGdr 2026-03-04 12:10

Oh, I see - you’re a member of the reality-based community….

spez_eats_nazi_ass 2026-03-04 13:01

stock will mooon!

Ford sold more BEVs in europe than Tesla in Q4/2025 and also now in Q1/2026 so far.

radiohead-nerd 2026-03-04 13:59

Stock should rise on this news 🙄

Glum-Breadfruit-6421 2026-03-04 14:13

And Tesla shares go up 25% for some reason. 😂

JRLDH 2026-03-04 14:15

That is such a dumb system - it should have contained some kind of cap anyways and not funnel money to the richest person on the planet.

pacific_beach 2026-03-04 14:17

Yep. It's up $8 in early trading.

FlipZip69 2026-03-04 14:22

Tesla investment club says this is a nothing burger. It is only close to the profit they made last year.

doalwa 2026-03-04 14:39

Good!

PortlandPetey 2026-03-04 15:34

Doesn’t matter, it’s all about robots or autonomy or something else, Tesla doesn’t make cars or money anymore and that’s part of the “plan”

ProdigalSheep 2026-03-04 15:40

Inject it into my veins.

ProdigalSheep 2026-03-04 15:42

I have to imagine he lobbied specifically for this. It’s what has made him the richest man on earth. Our tax dollars. The world’s biggest welfare queen.

Pancheel 2026-03-04 15:46

Yes, cars suck. Why profit 4 billion with boring cars when you can profit trillions with amazing robots! (in 12 months).

Pancheel 2026-03-04 15:47

But it's not because these news, it's because algorithms are pleased today.

linknewtab 2026-03-04 16:20

It's actually a pretty smart system, the auto CEOs were dumb by not investing in EVs and paying Musk instead. It's not like they were forced to miss the targets, they chose to.

linknewtab 2026-03-04 16:23

No he didn't. That system was first proposed in 2007 and made into law in 2009. That was even before the Model S was released.

ProdigalSheep 2026-03-04 16:29

He acquired tesla in 2004.

NJ0000 2026-03-04 16:46

Bhoahahahhahahaaa

linknewtab 2026-03-04 17:08

And you think the entire EU caved to some niche electric car maker from the US which back then has sold a couple thousand modified Lotus sport cars? There is literally zero evidence that Tesla lobbied for this or was even ever thought about. EVs weren't really on the radar of EU lawmakers back then, the emissions reduction was supposed to come mostly from diesel (we know how that turned out) and hybridization. Only because of dieselgate and because of the increase in fuel consumption due to how popular SUV became over the 2010s was it necessary to even add BEVs into the mix by 2020. And some car makers decided to rather pay Tesla instead of developing their own. That was the mistake, not the system itself.

Big_footed_hobbit 2026-03-04 17:23

Understandably, in the near future no one will be able to afford a car as all humans will become slaves in Elons Cybercamp, to manufacture billions of Tesla-bots

EcoNorfolk 2026-03-04 17:53

Ouch. Great news but that is one big revenue pool gone. Stock price up by any chance?

ProdigalSheep 2026-03-04 17:56

I really didn’t even know it was an EU thing; I thought it was a US thing. So I appreciate the education.

ObservationalHumor 2026-03-04 18:02

Win all around. Less emission credits for Musk and proof that BEVs can along just fine without having Elon Musk in the mix.

BringBackUsenet 2026-03-04 18:48

Dead cat bounce. It won't last.

Street_Barracuda1657 2026-03-04 20:44

The stock should rise on this great news /s

b-side61 2026-03-04 21:19

These days, if news of TSLA going down came out, it would go up.

beren12 2026-03-04 23:23

No that’s the new Tesla factory

spez_eats_nazi_ass 2026-03-05 02:07

God dammit. Icant  believe that fucking moron.  And the press just repeating it.

beren12 2026-03-05 02:20

Right? Reality from The Onion would be a big improvement over whatever this is.

fastwriter- 2026-03-05 05:34

Mazda has two new BEV Models in Europe based on chinese Tech. They are selling not huge numbers, but they are selling. They have two popular PHEV Models as well and their Diesel Engines are very frugal. So I do not think that they will miss the CO2-Target for very long anymore. Honda on the other hand seems to be more of a Problem. But as sales figures in Europe are much lower for this Company than in the US this won‘t save Teslas Credit Profit either.

DreadpirateBG 2026-03-05 21:43

Well it’s a good thing really. Means other automakers are planning to meet targets. This should be viewed as only a temporary revenue anyway.

Secure_Baseball7318 2026-03-05 22:34

Elon's ponzi scheme is near to its implosion. He knows it. That's why he's pulling strings to get the spaceX IPO in June at a record pace and a crazy azz evaluation so he can roll tesla into it like twitter and XAI . Stock price is his wealth's foundation. The soap opera question is will he make it in time. If not it all comes tumbling down and the brainwashed weakminded personality worshippers lose everything. Get your popcorn.

blackpawed 2026-03-06 04:09

Everyone else will be employed to remote operate the bots.

Big_footed_hobbit 2026-03-06 08:03

„Employed“ you’ll be forced to work. And as present, the will implant cyber link in your brain, if you don’t cooperate, life functions will be terminated.

Phosistication 2026-03-06 20:27

And still the effin stock will probably go up. The whole financial market is nothing but a crime scene
