What is the significance of Tesla's record €2.69 billion revenue from carbon credit sales, and what immediate impact does this have on the automotive industry?

Tesla, owned by Elon Musk, reported record revenue of €2.69 billion in 2024 from selling carbon emission credits. This is due to regulations in the EU and some US states penalizing companies exceeding carbon emission limits, making it profitable for traditional automakers to buy credits from Tesla rather than face fines.
