Tesla FSD in Europe vs. US: It's not what you think
"On April 10, 2026, the Dutch vehicle authority RDW granted Tesla the first European type approval for Full Self-Driving Supervised, making the Netherlands the first country on the continent to authorize Tesla's semi-autonomous system for customer use on public roads."
"The European version of FSD is not the same software US drivers use. The RDW's own statement is direct, noting that the software versions and functionalities in the US and Europe are therefore not comparable one-to-one."
"Tesla has said it anticipates EU-wide recognition of the Dutch approval during summer 2026, which would extend FSD access to Germany, France, and other major markets through a mutual recognition process."
The Dutch vehicle authority RDW granted Tesla the first European type approval for Full Self-Driving Supervised, making the Netherlands the first country in Europe to authorize the system. This approval followed extensive testing and compliance documentation. The European version of FSD differs from the US version, as confirmed by the RDW. Tesla aims to grow FSD subscriptions globally, with a target of 10 million active subscriptions by 2025. EU-wide recognition of the Dutch approval is anticipated in summer 2026, expanding access to other major markets.
