   DHL said even if the initial purchase cost of the Tesla Semi is high, it is sufficiently recoverable by reducing fuel and maintenance costs in the long run. In fact, 500 miles from California cost around $520 for a diesel truck, while the Tesla Semi can travel the same distance for just $275.
2. Spain to test Tesla FSD supervised mode without incident
   In Spain, 30 Tesla vehicles have been undergoing public road testing in FSD (supervision required) mode since November 2025, and so far, there have been no reports of accidents during the roughly 50,000-mile journey. Authorities have assessed that the Dutch RDW’s decision to approve could be an important first step towards realizing autonomous driving in the EU.
3. Amsterdam, Netherlands, Tesla FSD Mainstream Media Praises
   The British Independent published a first-hand review of Tesla Model Y’s FSD in Amsterdam. The reviewer said the vehicle also drove naturally in crowded downtown alleys and cobbled streets, and made a safe ride, giving way to pedestrian and biker users first.

6. ARK Invest Supports $1.75 Trillion Valuation Of SpaceX IPO
   ARK Invest said SpaceX’s target IPO enterprise value of $1.75 trillion is a reasonable figure based on the real performance of each of its business segments, including Starlink’s fast growth, reduced launch costs, and xAI mergers. Already, Starlink has more than 10 million subscribers and achieved cash flow break-even in 2023, and ARK said its core businesses are worth enough investment right now, even if all of its early-stage goals, such as lunar bases and orbital data centers, are not realized.
