# Tesla faces EU pushback on self-driving amid broader setbacks

EU approval hurdles: European regulators are hesitant to approve Tesla's Full Self-Driving system, citing safety concerns that could delay its robotaxi rollout. Multiple operational blows: Tesla ended Model S and X production, recalled Cybertrucks and other models, and saw China sales drop 10% year over year in April. Investor risk calculus: Despite strong Q1 earnings, high valuation and regulatory threats make Tesla a risky long-term bet for shareholders.
