Germany calls it a “technology-neutral yet safety-oriented approach.”
Sounds good on paper. But when regulations conveniently align with legacy automakers like Mercedes and BMW while the bar keeps getting raised for Tesla, people have every right to question how “neutral” that approach really is.
Innovation should be judged fairly, not slowed down by protectionist frameworks.
And one thing is clear:
Germany can jump high or jump low, but the TCMV vote is decided by the majority, not by one country alone.
The future of mobility should be built on safety, competition and equal standards for everyone.
I ask everyone to share this post.
I stand and fight for Tesla enthusiasts, fair competition and equal treatment.

Endlich konnte ich FSD in Deutschland testen. Wir sind fast eine Stunde durch Dörfer, über Landstraßen und Autobahnen gefahren. Alles lief perfekt. @PSchnieder, wann retten wir Leben in Deutschland?🇩🇪
Tesla has been working hard toward shipping Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Europe for over 12 months now. We have given FSD demos to regulators of almost every EU country. We have requested early access, pilot release programs or exemptions where possible.
We have developed & shared detailed safety evidence for FSD, now public in our latest Safety Report. And we have driven over 1 million kilometers safely on EU roads across 17 different countries (internal testing).
Our main path to success is partnering with the Dutch approval authority RDW to gain exemption for the feature. This involves proving compliance with existing regulations (UN-R-171 DCAS) + filing an exemption (EU Article 39) for yet-to-be-regulated behaviors like Level 2 systems off-highway, system-initiated lane changes with hands-off the wheel etc.
Some of these regulations are outdated and rules-based, which makes FSD illegal in its current form. Changing FSD to be compliant with these rules would make it unsafe and unusable in many cases. While we have changed FSD to be maximally compliant where it is logical and reasonable, we won't sacrifice the safety of a proven system or materially deteriorate customer usability.
As a result, we are gathering evidence to get exemptions on a specific rule-by-rule basis. Unfortunately, the real world fleet-proven safety wins alone are considered insufficient.
Currently, RDW has committed to granting Netherlands National approval in February 2026. Please contact them via link below to express your excitement & thank them for making this happen as soon as possible. Upon NL National approval, other EU countries can immediately recognize the exemption and also allow rollout within their country. Then we will bring it to a TCMV vote for official EU-wide approval.
We're excited to bring FSD to our owners in Europe soon!

@Notpfote @enpal_de @mauimauer Da es von Enpal wohl keine offizielle Schnittstelle gibt/geben wird, versucht es doch mal damit: https://t.co/0PXoU6NRAM
@enpal_de @mauimauer Hey @enpal_de, gibt es in Sachen API für die Home Box oder Zugang zum Wechselrichter schon etwas neues? Würde die Daten gern in meinen Home Assistant integrieren.
People have approached us at #DNUG46 wanting #MarvelClient Upgrade Free for Notes/Domino 10.0.1 FP2. If our ORIGINAL tweet reaches 200 re-tweets by week's end, it shows us that it's well worth our effort #MCU4FP2 https://t.co/jMa5F2eTXu
