📝 Today’s Tesla News Summary
Stock Update: TSLA closed at $400.62 on Friday, up nearly 14% for the week. The stock opened at $352.42 on Monday and climbed steadily through Wednesday ($391.95), dipped slightly Thursday ($388.90), then rallied to the weekly high on Friday.
HW3 FSD Saga Continues: Tesla’s EU type approval for FSD Supervised covers only AI4 hardware — leaving thousands of HW3 owners in the cold. Dutch Model 3 owner Mischa Sigtermans, who paid €6,400 for FSD in 2019, called Tesla and was told point blank: no information about when it comes, or if it comes at all. He has launched a collective claim site for European HW3 owners, and Tesla’s response is only adding fuel to the legal fire.
$14.5 Billion in Lawsuits: Tesla faces 21+ active legal fronts with exposure up to $14.5 billion, including wrongful death suits, securities fraud, and racial discrimination claims. The company’s defense strategy has included arguing that Musk calling Tesla “absurdly safe” was mere corporate puffery — a legal position that may not survive judicial scrutiny.
Signature Edition Anti-Flipping: Tesla’s final Model S and Model X run — the Signature Edition in exclusive Garnet Red with gold accents — requires buyers to sign a no-resale agreement. Violations trigger $50,000 or full resale value penalties within the first year. Just 250 Model S and 100 Model X units, priced at $159,420 each, invite-only.
