Tesla is facing calls from Texas lawmakers to postpone its autonomous ride-hailing launch in Austin, originally set for June 22, until new regulations on autonomous vehicles take effect in September. Lawmakers argue that complying with safety requirements is essential for public trust, yet Tesla plans to proceed, positioning the launch as critical for its market valuation amidst weakening EV demand. The move coincides with a looming $6.5 trillion in expiring equity options, adding further volatility to the company's stock performance.
