🚀 FSD to get new testing ground

Plus: Giga Berlin closed for longer, commercial Model Y, Stellantis expansion and more

Hey S3XY 🧤, Tesla's Full Self-Driving Beta will eventually debut in Europe following a regulatory update by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). On Wednesday, the UNECE endorsed a fresh regulation permitting vehicles equipped with Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS), thereby granting approval for advanced driving assistance technologies like FSD Beta to be utilized on European roadways.
It's essential to note that the updated regulation doesn't encompass full driving automation. Drivers are still mandated to maintain engagement and responsibility for the vehicle continuously, aligning with the operational features of Tesla's FSD Beta.
And some other highlights from today’s letter 📨:

  • Advancing solid state batteries.

  • Tesla left FACI Australia.

  • ARK invest buying the dip.

  • Pony AI’s MoU with Luxembourg.

Let’s take a dive..👇🏻
