Shares of Tesla 
TSLA edged higher in premarket trading on Tuesday as investors watched an upcoming European Union hearing over the company’s Full Self-Driving system, which could influence its regional rollout plans amid rising scrutiny over safety and driver-assistance performance in Europe.
Tesla TSLA has expanded testing in Europe after Dutch regulator RDW granted limited approval of its supervised system following extended trials. Regulators in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway have raised concerns about real-world performance, including behavior on icy roads and whether driver attention safeguards can be bypassed.
Tesla TSLA has also reportedly engaged regulators in several European countries shortly after the Dutch decision, seeking broader recognition ahead of technical reviews. Company executives have signaled expectations for wider EU approval in coming quarters, while earlier discussions included future plans for autonomous ride-hailing services.
Tesla is also seeing early progress in its Semi program, with new orders and production ramp-up signals, though adoption remains in early stages across logistics fleets in the United States and Europe, analysts say.
