  • European registrations of Tesla vehicles fell 22.9% in June, extending a six-month contraction that cut the brand’s market share from 3.4% to 2.8%.
  • CFO Vaibhav Taneja warned that new U.S. rules eliminating fuel-economy noncompliance penalties and a $7,500 EV tax credit will halve future profits from emission-credit sales.
