the general consensus ive gotten from talking to corporate regulatory/legal teams is that most prefer the much more invasive but predictable/consistent framework in the EU to the ambiguous and evolving regulatory framework in the US
In 2026, cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn 5-star safety rating in Europe. New testing rules will be introduced that require vehicles to have physical controls to earn the highest safety score.
This is a good thing for public safety, and a bad thing for companies like Tesla.

I’m sure everyone knows this, but Bari Weiss is a fraud who profits by spreading pro-RFK propaganda.
It’s just a game to her.
Others will suffer.

The framing suggests that everything not on the EU's list is banned. Untrue.
The EU allows thousands of flavoring substances, enzymes, and other ingredients outside that narrow additives list.
Meanwhile, the US does have a regulatory framework; it's just structured differently.

Luckily the chief offender in this area is now more or less a major part of the incoming US federal government, so nobody really has to worry about the safety problem or how to develop a regulatory framework for it. We can all just let it blend into the background of road carnage.

It's not about market timing. It's about the complete collapse of the regulatory framework that's protected US investors for the last 70 years or so, all at the same time, at the fed and state level, while the fed govt takes an axe to the support that fueled research and innovation since WWII.
