"The carmaker posted Sunday on X that its main path to getting FSD green-lit for Europe is through RDW, the organization that handles the approval and registration of vehicles in the Netherlands. While Tesla said in its post that RDW has committed to granting Netherlands National approval in February 2026, the authority denied this in a statement posted to its website Monday."
"The regulator said that it has merely drawn up a schedule with Tesla in which the company will be able to demonstrate FSD in February, and hasn't committed to approving it. We do not share details about ongoing applications from manufacturers, as this concerns commercially sensitive information, the authority said. Both RDW and Tesla are aware of the efforts needed to reach a decision on this matter in February. Whether this timeline will be met is yet to be determined in the coming period."
Tesla and Dutch vehicle authority RDW are in disagreement over claims about approval of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system for Europe. Tesla posted on X saying RDW committed to granting Netherlands National approval in February 2026, while RDW said the company only drew up a schedule to demonstrate FSD in February and that no approval commitment exists. RDW asked the public not to contact it about the matter and said it does not share details of ongoing manufacturer applications for commercial sensitivity. RDW emphasized road safety as the top priority and that approval requires convincing demonstration of the system's safety. Elon Musk has repeatedly expressed frustration with the regulator.
