In the last 2 months, FSD Supervised has been over 3x safer than manual driving on Dutch roads

We’re achieving some nice records in 🇫🇷

Tesla sales in Europe in May 2026 (YoY):
• France: +655% (best selling May ever)
• Denmark: +136%
• Spain: +113%
• Sweden: +71%
• Norway: +29%

Additional country data coming later this week. Registrations of electrified vehicles - including battery -electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid models - rose about 21% in Europe and made up more than two-thirds of the region's total registrations in April, ​according to data from ACEA.

Part of the big YoY increase is due to new Model Y production ramping up in the first half of 2025, but sales demand in general has also improved in the region. As you can see with France, it had its best May ever and the 10th best overall sales month ever.

Making European roads safer, one by one

🎙️Final testing, hopefully a quick homologation in Flanders @elonmusk ?
Het testen van het Tesla FSD-systeem (Full Self-Driving) zal eerstdaags kunnen starten op de Vlaamse wegen. “Het voertuig zal over ongeveer 5.000 kilometer worden getest om eventuele verschillen met de Nederlandse weginfrastructuur en verkeersregels te evalueren. Als de resultaten positief zijn, kan snel werk worden gemaakt van een voorlopige Europese typegoedkeuring die geldig is op het volledige Belgische grondgebied”. Dank aan mijn federale collega om de testen toe te laten, hopelijk verlopen die vlot, en kunnen we vervolgens op zeer korte termijn tot homologatie overgaan! 💪 #Innovatie

With https://t.co/lAxValp45d, you can follow public contracts at municipality level, see where the money is flowing, and explore the network behind it through connected entities and contracts.

It's a simpler way to understand who is contracting with whom, where public money is going, and how local spending moves across the network.

De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken

FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly! 

Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways

No other vehicle can do this. 

We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon

[David Bento @davidbentor]

Most dangerous @Uber drive I had in my entire life. 4 near misses in a span of 15 minutes. Just kept thinking we need FSD and robotaxis asap.

[David Bento @davidbentor]

Strong progress on FSD Supervised in European roads, loads of great work over the past 18 months. The future is autonomous

[Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa @teslaeurope]

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!
