Overview
- The Dutch vehicle authority RDW approved the system after 18 months of tests covering about 1.6 million kilometers and said it improves road safety.
- Tesla says it will deliver the Europe‑configured software to cars in the Netherlands via an over‑the‑air update in the coming days, with pricing at €7,500 to buy or €99 per month to subscribe and the option already live in the Dutch configurator.
- FSD ‘Supervised’ allows hands‑off driving while the driver stays alert, handles city streets, intersections, roundabouts and highways, and remains a Level‑2 system with the human legally responsible.
- RDW said the EU version differs from the U.S. release under tougher approval standards, including limits on speed settings, and broader EU rollout still depends on an approval committee vote or separate national decisions.
- Early buyers with older Teslas say their cars cannot run the feature and are organizing refund or retrofit claims led by Dutch owner Mischa Sigtermans, who reports contact from lawyers and interest from nearly 1,000 owners in over 20 countries.
