Overview
- Tesla told customers RDW had committed to granting Netherlands national approval for FSD in February 2026.
- RDW clarified that approval is not granted and that a February review depends on Tesla demonstrating the system meets safety requirements.
- Officials said it remains uncertain whether the agreed schedule will be met as the regulator keeps its focus on road safety.
- RDW asked the public not to contact the agency about the application, saying it would not affect timing or outcomes.
- Tesla is pressing ahead with expansion, launching FSD (Supervised) in South Korea and hiring European vehicle operators, as its European sales fell an estimated 48.5% year over year in October.
