Overview
- The Netherlands' RDW says Tesla is scheduled to demonstrate that FSD (Supervised) meets required standards in February 2026, after which the agency expects to decide.
- RDW refuted Tesla’s claim that it had committed to grant Netherlands national approval and reiterated that road safety is the priority.
- The regulator asked the public to stop contacting its offices about FSD, noting such messages burden customer service and do not influence the process.
- Tesla is pursuing a national exemption in the Netherlands that other EU states could recognize, potentially followed by a Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles vote for EU‑wide authorization.
- Regulatory scrutiny continues globally as owners in South Korea report FSD activation and the U.S. NHTSA investigates 2.88 million FSD‑equipped Teslas over safety reports.
