The rise is fueled by the U.S. easing self-driving regulations. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced it will expand its current program. This will exempt some foreign-made self-driving cars from certain review processes to speed up testing. U.S.-made vehicles will also be included.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated, "Our new framework will reduce red tape. It brings us closer to a national standard that encourages innovation while prioritizing safety."
Recently, CEO Elon Musk shared several positive updates. These include reducing time spent with government efficiency departments, launching fully autonomous vehicles, and entering the Indian market. These announcements have led to a continuous rise in Tesla's stock. Last week alone, it increased by 25%, far surpassing other tech stocks.
For comparison, NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) rose nearly 15%. Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) and Meta Platforms Inc (META) both saw increases of about 13%. The rest of the big seven stocks had gains of less than 10%.
