Tesla Sets December FSD (Supervised) Demo Rides Across Germany

Regulators maintain that any rollout awaits independent safety proof through a formal EU process, not a promised February date.

Overview

  • Tesla will run passenger-seat demonstration rides from December 1 to 31 at stores in nine German cities, including Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Hannover and Gießen.
  • Participants ride up front while a licensed Tesla safety driver remains at the wheel to supervise the system in real traffic.
  • Registration requires personal contact details, and Tesla’s participation terms allow the company to use attendee recordings for marketing.
  • Tesla says it targets an early‑2026 European introduction, but the Dutch RDW disputes any February approval and stresses that decisions depend on safety evidence and the EU exception process.
  • FSD (Supervised) is a vision‑only, Level 2‑style driver‑assist already available in markets such as the United States, Canada, China, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia and New Zealand.
