NEWS: Tesla says that the RDW has communicated that FSD (Supervised) will be approved in the Netherlands on April 10th, which would clear the path for approval in other European countries. Tesla added that they've completed over 13,000 customer FSD (Supervised) ride-alongs over the past few months, as well as: • 4,500+ track test scenario executions • Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements • Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results It would be a huge deal if approval actually comes on April 10th. Fingers crossed!

Together with RDW, we have officially completed the final vehicle testing phase for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and have submitted all documentation required for the UN R-171 approval + Article 39 exemptions. The RDW team is now reviewing the documentation and test results package internally. They have communicated the expected approval for Netherlands date of 4/10, shifting from 3/20 previously and we look forward to successful completion of this cooperation.  Following the Netherlands’ approval, European countries will be able to recognize this approval nationally. We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer. Over the past 18 months, this approval has involved a series of intense documentation, development, testing, research & audits. Including but certainly not limited to: – 1,600,000+ km of FSD (Supervised) testing on EU roads – 13,000+ customer sales ride-alongs – 4,500+ track test scenario executions – Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements – Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results We're extremely proud of the work conducted with the RDW team up until this point. We very much look forward to the approval in April, and sharing FSD (Supervised) with our patient EU customers!
