Overview
- On Sept. 1 Tesla posted an open-source safety dashboard and said its supervised Full Self‑Driving (FSD) fleet was involved in 4.1 times fewer collisions than manually driven Teslas, citing more than 100 million kilometres of driving it said were recorded between April and August 2026.
- Independent analysts and reporters found every dated measurement window in the released file ends in 2025, creating a mismatch with Tesla’s April–August 2026 claim and raising questions about whether the dashboard contains current data.
- The FSD mileage sample in Tesla’s European tables is tiny compared with the manual‑drive comparator — roughly 755,922–793,000 FSD miles in 2025 versus 8.91 billion miles for manually driven Teslas — and the dashboard warns it does not control for factors such as traffic, weather or time of day.
- France has started on‑road tests of two Tesla FSD vehicles provided by the company and expects results in mid to late September to check the Dutch and Tesla data before deciding how to vote in the EU process.
- A bloc‑wide approval would need at least 15 member states representing 65% of the EU population and the five countries that have recognised the Dutch certificate cover only about 8.9% of the population, so independent testing and clearer, current evidence will likely determine the outcome.
