Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), the electric-vehicle and artificial-intelligence company, fell approximately 1.3% to $351.65 Wednesday as it pressed its case for Full Self-Driving Supervised in Europe. The headline number packs a punch: Tesla claims the system recorded 4.1 times fewer collisions than comparable manually driven vehicles across five European countries.

The company analyzed more than 100 million kilometers driven from April through August. Vehicles using FSD Supervised recorded three highway collisions and nine non-highway collisions. Manually driven Teslas recorded 137 and 490, respectively. That is a striking gap, but there is a catch. FSD Supervised still demands an alert driver, and critics question whether the two groups offer a clean, apples-to-apples comparison.

Now comes the real test. European regulators could vote October 6, with Tesla needing support from at least 15 of the European Union’s 27 countries representing 65% of its population. The chart shows Tesla trading 5.37% above its GF Value estimate of $333.74 even after the pullback, signaling that the stock still carries a valuation premium. Tesla has delivered the big safety number. Regulators must decide whether the methodology is strong enough to unlock Europe.
