Belgium
Belgium's company-car tax regime built one of Europe's largest Tesla fleets per head during 2023–24, then registrations halved in 2025. It recognised the Dutch approval two days after Denmark, in June 2026.
Where it sits
Tesla fleet
Cumulative registrations from strong 2023–24 years, less attrition. 2025 fell 53%; 2026 is recovering.
New registrations
| Year | New Teslas | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 21,182 | — |
| 2025 | 9,933 | -53% |
| 2026 to date | 8,292 | part year |
Registrations are the yearly flow of new cars, not the fleet. The 77,000 figure above is the stock — every Tesla currently on the road. 2026 covers January to 31 August, so it is not comparable with a full year: like for like it is recovering from the 2025 crash.
Road safety baseline
A safer baseline means less room for FSD to help. Belgium is more dangerous than the EU average, so each Tesla here carries more potential impact than one in Scandinavia.
How this number is worked out
545 road deaths × 0.83 crash reduction × ( 20,000 active FSD users ÷ 4.64M vehicles ) = 1.9 lives / year
Because FSD is switched on here, the calculation uses the 20,000 drivers actually using it, not the whole fleet — this is measured impact, not potential. The 83% figure is the midpoint of Tesla's published crash-rate data; the vehicle total assumes 400 vehicles per 1,000 people. Full workings on the methodology page.
What changed here
Belgium recognised the Dutch RDW provisional type approval under UN R171 on 11 June 2026. Every Tesla in the country with the right hardware could use FSD Supervised from that date.
Before that date it sat in the blocked column like the rest of Europe: this page counts 4.2 lives lost during that wait, and stops adding to it.
