what happened
Market Talk reports that Tesla is seeing rising demand for its full self-driving package. On an analyst call, executives said that in the third quarter more than 75% of North American deliveries came with a paid subscription signed at the moment of handover.
Finance chief Vaibhav Taneja put that share about 20% above the second quarter. Elon Musk expects European approval for the feature within months and said Tesla is in active talks with Chinese regulators about a launch in that country.
why it matters
Equity investors watch Tesla's software revenue as closely as its car sales, so subscription growth and possible regulatory clearances in Europe and China could shift expectations for the company's future earnings.
