With the Netherlands approving FSD, the EU is set to approve it across the board, probably by June. And China is next. Tougher nut to crack but it still could happen this year.

They’re down 9% YoY…
People are not buying expensive long-term leases because gas prices went up a little for a months.
Electricity prices have gone up by 13% due to data centers and AI. That’s more long-term than gas price hike.
