Denmark
Denmark has Europe's safest roads by a wide margin — 2.4 road deaths per 100,000 people — which is exactly why the lives-saved figure here is small. A safe baseline leaves less room to improve. Recognised the Dutch approval in June 2026.
Where it sits
Tesla fleet
Large 2023–24 registration base, a 41% crash in 2025, and a 2026 rebound. No official brand-level parc is published.
New registrations
| Year | New Teslas | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 16,032 | — |
| 2025 | 9,457 | -41% |
| 2026 to date | 7,690 | part year |
Registrations are the yearly flow of new cars, not the fleet. The 62,000 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 a clear rebound.
Road safety baseline
A safer baseline means less room for FSD to help. Denmark is already safer than the EU average, which is why the figures here look modest next to countries with the same fleet size.
How this number is worked out
142 road deaths × 0.83 crash reduction × ( 16,000 active FSD users ÷ 2.36M vehicles ) = 0.8 lives / year
Because FSD is switched on here, the calculation uses the 16,000 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
Denmark recognised the Dutch RDW provisional type approval under UN R171 on 9 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 1.7 lives lost during that wait, and stops adding to it.
