@jimbosteen1 Ha true, allthough you would be surprised how many times I had tourists step into the bike path without looking whilst cycling in Ams 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Sam @samgreenfields]

The future is here! Did a Tesla FSD supervised ride along in Amsterdam, The Netherlands yesterday. Amazing how the car navigates the narrow streets, randomly parked cars, pedestrians and erratic bicycles. Let’s get this approved soon!

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@MatEick Absolutely, they’ve been working with the RDW and other European regulators for over a year. This first step allows people to go on FSD ride along trips whilst the car is being supervised by a in depth trained Tesla employee.

[Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa @teslaeurope]

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Some of these regulations are outdated and rules-based, which makes FSD illegal in its current form.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!

@O_Lozanov The car is braver than me 😂 I try to avoid driving here myself as much as I can.

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@TszwingLai1 @wholemars Yes! Let’s go in Europe and hoplefuy HK soon after!

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@drjjlevine I was well impressed with the car and FSD behaviour in these crazy streets.

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@hys___b @wholemars Yeah me to! Great first step this. Onwards and upwards!

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@congressdj @wholemars ‘Barbie hands’ 😂 I know we are still far behind you guys. But I am exited that this is the first step into getting approval for FSD in Europe 💪🏻

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@DriveGreen80167 Definitely. It’s challenging to drive her as a person, so great learning opportunities for FSD.

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@jefferinc We were lucky that we had enough time to go into the city centre and on the canals.

@oye_iman @SCUDERIAFEMBOY Well George did propose to Max as well…

@clownworld Vasa is that you?

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@elonmusk I tried to buy a Cybertruck, but I live in Europe 😅

[Sam @samgreenfields]

Is the @f1 app having a stroke? Points/places don’t make sense.

[Sam @samgreenfields]

Grok just keeps on including the cybertruck whenever I ask him to draw me, and I love it!

It aint much, if it aint Dutch 😆

This Dutch immigrant was shocked by American coffee.

So he opened a tiny shop in Berkeley with just 10 pounds of beans.

And brought Dutch expertise to the New World.

Here's how one man's refusal to accept mediocrity created a billion-dollar industry:

@niccruzpatane I just wonder how my cats will respond to it

[Sam @samgreenfields]

@stepfanie @SpaceX Same, where can we vote for more of this? 😆
