Together with RDW, we have officially completed the final vehicle testing phase for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and have submitted all documentation required for the UN R-171 approval + Article 39 exemptions. The RDW team is now reviewing the documentation and test results package internally. They have communicated the expected approval for Netherlands date of 4/10, shifting from 3/20 previously and we look forward to successful completion of this cooperation.
Following the Netherlands’ approval, European countries will be able to recognize this approval nationally. We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer.
Over the past 18 months, this approval has involved a series of intense documentation, development, testing, research & audits. Including but certainly not limited to:
– 1,600,000+ km of FSD (Supervised) testing on EU roads
– 13,000+ customer sales ride-alongs
– 4,500+ track test scenario executions
– Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements
– Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results
We're extremely proud of the work conducted with the RDW team up until this point.
We very much look forward to the approval in April, and sharing FSD (Supervised) with our patient EU customers!
For Tesla vehicles, the 4th position (the 4th character) in the 17-digit VIN almost always directly indicates the model of the vehicle.
- S → Model S
- 3 → Model 3
- X → Model X
- Y → Model Y
- C → Cybertruck
- R → Roadster
- A → Cybercab aka Model A
Now we have the missing letter A and can finally complete it:
s3xy c_r + A → s3xy cAr → sexy car 🚗

Hochinteressant:
•Seit Eröffnung des Tesla-Werkes in Berlin/Grünheide ist die Wasserförderung des gesamten Abwasserverbandes 📉 gesunken.
•Es können weiterhin 100 Prozent des in der Produktion anfallenden Prozessabwasser ♻️recycled werden.
•Das gesamte Werk verbrauchte im vorigen Jahr lediglich 450.000 Kubikmeter Wasser (ein 4-Pers.-Haushalt verbraucht Ø180 Kubikmeter)
•Tesla unterbietet damit alle gängigen Industriestandards und hat innerhalb kürzester Zeit die wohl sauberste Fabrik Deutschlands aufgebaut
Earlier today, there was a media report erroneously claiming that the Tesla Board had contacted recruitment firms to initiate a CEO search at the company.
This is absolutely false (and this was communicated to the media before the report was published).
The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk and the Board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.

ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED: Whilst setting up the formation for the @ChatCharge@Tesla Light Show there was an accident which caused damage to the two @Cybertruck involved. Unfortunately insurance won’t cover the repair so I’ll be taking care of the $15k bill myself… I’ve set up a page for any help should anyone want to help a dude out… As I put on these shows for free, it’s a lot to take on but I’ll be doing the right thing for the owners.
