The impending changes could jeopardize the profitability of Tesla\u2019s electric vehicles as they navigate a market increasingly dependent on regulatory support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complicating matters further, Tesla faces an urgent deadline of June 19 to respond to a request for information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning its proposed robotaxi service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Donald Trump tells NBC News that Elon Musk will face \u201cvery serious consequences\u201d if he funds Democratic candidates.<br><br>Like Musk or not, a president threatening private citizens over political donations isn\u2019t just wrong, it\u2019s authoritarianism. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/amZV0Joupn\">pic.twitter.com\/amZV0Joupn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RpsAgainstTrump\/status\/1931403598136480219?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/teslas-500-million-dilemma-upgrade-or-compensate-4-million-drivers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"based on Tesla's \u201cSupervised Full Self-Driving\u201d system, is currently under federal investigation\">based on Tesla&#8217;s \u201cSupervised Full Self-Driving\u201d system, is currently under federal investigation<\/a>, raising the risk of further complications as the launch date approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, California is preparing to fight back against Trump\u2019s new resolutions in court, which could lead to a drawn-out legal battle. Should Trump\u2019s administration succeed in dismantling California&#8217;s environmental standards, the impact on Tesla could lead to dire financial consequences, particularly by 2028, when its earnings are expected to be heavily affected if emissions credits are diminished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk has expressed regret over some of his recent comments about former President Donald Trump as tensions rise between Tesla and the Trump administration.
