"Tesla recently launched an opportunity for Europeans to experience Full Self-Driving, not in their personal vehicles, but through a new ride-along program that initially launched in Italy, France, and Germany back in late November. People could experience it by booking a reservation with a local Tesla showroom, but timeslots quickly filled up, making it difficult to keep up with demand."
"It finally achieved that on December 9, as it launched rides in Denmark and Switzerland, adding the fourth and fifth countries to the program. Tesla confirmed the arrival of the program to Denmark and Switzerland on X: Now available in Denmark & Switzerland 🇨🇠https://t.co/bo3HSxULaS 🇩🇰 https://t.co/IpCSwHO566 https://t.co/V2N5EarLNX - Tesla Europe & Middle East (@teslaeurope) December 9, 2025"
Tesla launched a Full Self-Driving ride-along program for Europeans, initially available in Italy, France, and Germany in late November. Bookings were made through local Tesla showrooms, and early timeslots filled rapidly due to strong demand. Tesla expanded available times and pursued additional markets, and on December 9 launched rides in Denmark and Switzerland, bringing the program to five countries. The program supports Tesla’s butts-in-seats strategy and leverages fan interest to help address regulatory barriers in Europe. Tesla has encountered significant red tape with regulators, and CEO Elon Musk described the regulatory process as "insanely painful." Tesla indicates Europe could see wider FSD availability in 2026, with the Dutch RDW a key regulator.
