Tesla FSD (Supervised) Status in EU and UK
As of February 11, 2026
Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) remains pending regulatory approval for public roads across the EU and UK. No widespread rollout has occurred yet. The process centers on the Netherlands' RDW as the lead authority for initial EU entry, with expectations pinned on a February 2026 decision.
No explicit blockers (e.g., specific countries or entities actively denying) are reported — instead, delays stem from standard regulatory caution, safety demonstrations, and Europe's preference for rule-based over data-driven (probabilistic) validation.
| Region | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| EU Overall | Pending Expected initial national approval in Netherlands (RDW) this month, enabling potential rollout via mutual recognition across EU. | No single blocker; regulators require Tesla to demonstrate safety in real conditions. RDW overseeing tests; target remains February. |
| Netherlands | Pending Lead country; RDW expected to decide on national approval in February 2026 after Tesla demonstrations. | Primary gatekeeper for EU entry; no active block, just ongoing review process. |
| Other EU Countries | Awaiting No independent approvals yet; will likely recognize Netherlands approval under EU type-approval rules for faster rollout. | No country-specific blocks reported; some may need minor national adaptations post-EU entry. Active supervised demos ongoing in many countries. |
| United Kingdom | Review Separate from EU; ongoing review, no approval or firm timeline yet. Could fast-track using Automated Vehicles Act and EU/US safety data. | No specific blocker; post-Brexit process is independent and slower than EU path. Momentum building but lags behind Europe. |
Outlook
A new UNECE global regulation (adopted draft, vote June 2026) could enable unsupervised FSD later in 2026 across EU, UK, and beyond. No major delays or denials reported in recent months — progress is positive but still in the "imminent" phase.
