1:08Slovenia approves Tesla FSD Supervised: where in Europe you can use it now
Slovenia has become the sixth EU country to allow Tesla's FSD (Supervised). Here is the full list, how the approvals work and what European owners should know.
Slovenia has approved Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system, making it the sixth country in the European Union where the software is allowed. The Slovenian decision came on September 7.
The European list so far
- Netherlands: April 2026, the original approval by Dutch regulator RDW.
- Lithuania: May 20.
- Estonia: May 29.
- Denmark: June 9.
- Belgium: June 10.
- Slovenia: September 7.
How it works
The Netherlands did the heavy lifting. The RDW granted a provisional EU type approval under a rule designed for new technologies that existing EU regulations do not yet fully cover. Other member states can then choose to recognize that approval on their own roads. Each country makes that decision separately, which is why the list grows one country at a time.
In parallel, there is a route to an EU-wide decision through the committee of member states that votes on vehicle rules. That would remove the need for country-by-country recognition, but it requires a broad qualified majority.
What 'Supervised' means
Despite the name, this is a Level 2 driver-assistance system. The car can steer, brake and navigate, but the driver must watch the road at all times and be ready to take over. Hands-off, eyes-off driving is not allowed anywhere in Europe.
What to watch
Each new country adds momentum, but the big prize is an EU-wide approval, which would open the much larger markets such as Germany, France and Italy in one go. Until then, owners in non-approved countries have to wait for their own national regulator.
