Tesla Stock Gains Amid Senate Debate on California EV Regulations
Tesla shares edged 0.7% higher in premarket trading to $337 as Wall Street maintains bullish sentiment despite political uncertainty surrounding California’s emissions standards. Morgan Stanley reiterated its Overweight rating with a $410 price target, highlighting Tesla’s $2.9 billion zero-emission vehicle credit program tied to state regulations.
The Senate is voting Thursday on a measure that could revoke California’s EPA waiver for setting stricter air quality rules—a decision with significant implications for EV manufacturers.
