@niccruzpatane It's also a great next car if you currently have a first gen Model 3. People compare it to the Premium Y which is at my place >10k more expensive. But it should be compared with vehicles at the same price point - which are all way smaller, have less range, etc.

I really do think the Tesla Model Y RWD is a very underrated value for the money in both the U.S. and Canada. Currently in the US, you can get one with 0% APR financing. In Canada, it’s eligible for the $5,000 EVAP incentive. You have to look at this vehicle through the eyes of a first-time EV buyer with no previous Tesla experience. When you start compiling what’s still included and the overall experience that this car still delivers, it’s really hard to beat. The important aspects of a Model Y are still intact: 321 miles of range, FSD works just the same, incredible display and UI, best-in-class safety, etc.

@aikisteve Mine is still at 2025.44.300. So can be worse.

My new car was delivered with software 2026.2.3. It was in the delivery center for over a month. It's now 5 days since delivery. Still no prompt to download the latest version. It used to be within 48 hours of delivery that it would be updated...

@Boreout Een hybride combineert alle nadelen van beide aandrijflijnen. Hoog gewicht, nog steeds dure brandstof, nog steeds onderhoud. De batterij van een hybride wagen is niet gekoeld/verwarmd en wordt dus per cel aanzienlijk intensiever gebruikt. Kan je thuis laden? > full EV.

We gaan een nieuwe SUV kopen en twijfelen tussen elektrisch en full hybrid. Zelf denk ik dat het een full hybrid gaat worden. Hebben jullie nog tips of ideeën?

@ronald_termaat @TeslaOwnersNL @KRoelandschap @robotinreallife Dit betreft waarschijnlijk een auto die ooit vanuit bijvoorbeeld Duitsland is geïmporteerd naar Nederland. Op Tweakers zijn meer mensen die toevalligerwijs op die wijze Grok hebben in hun Tesla.

Het zit op een leenauto van ABS Schadeherstel. Is een 'oude' 3 met AMD HW3. Geen Premium. Met verbinding met m'n telefoon hotspot werkte Grok goed, alleen de navigatie niet. Toen ik de hotspot uitzette, toen deed de navigatie het, maar Grok niet meer. Grok werkte prima. Kon alle specs van de auto bevragen. Het lokale weer ook, en ook waar ik precies was. Inloggen lukte niet. En na een tijdje waren m'n 'credits' op. Verschillende stemmen, of verschillende karakters kon ik ook kiezen (de assistent, de verhalenverteller etc. net zoals in Grok) Bij het wisselen tussen stemmen sprong ie wel opeens op (ik vermoed) het Deens. Nadat ik 'm daar op aanspraak ging ie weer verder in het Nederlands. Sommige stemmen hebben een Duitse tongval. Morgen weer inleveren dus ik kan nog wat testen... Ik weet even niet hoe ik de FSD versie hiervan kan zien. Via de Service mode? Denk dat de HW4 met FSD op de nieuwste FSD versie blijven (in 2026.2.9.1 in mijn geval) zodat ze de 10de (hopenlijk) naar FSD kunnen.

Without Premium Connectivity Grok is not optimal. Connected WiFi via my phone to get it started. But this (loaner) car has no Premium Connectivity and navigation failed. But still nice that we have Dutch Grok with multiple voices. @KRoelandschap @TeslaOwnersNL @robotinreallife @LinkN01 @SawyerMerritt

@elonmusk We will when we can. Which is tomorrow, in the EU! Right? ...right?

Try Tesla FSD (self-driving)!

@TimdeKraker @JoeBlack2k @TeslaOwnersNL @sjmawa @KRoelandschap @grok Het eerste evaluatiemoment was al eind februari. Als het nu nog steeds niet goed bevonden is en klopt wat je zegt, vraag ik me af of het over 2 weken wel goed genoeg is.

@JoeBlack2k @TeslaOwnersNL @sjmawa @KRoelandschap @grok Er was nu al een eerste evaluatie met als doel goedkeuring op 20 Maart. Dat lijkt nu te zijn verschoven naar een volgende evaluatie op best korte termijn omdat de lijst met punten wellicht meevalt?

20 maart lijkt nu door de RDW verschoven naar 10 april. Iets meer geduld dus nog #fsd @KRoelandschap @TeslaOwnersNL

@Rustavi There is no quote that Musk says that "authorities told him" so. He is told by others that they expect March 20th. Personally I think things work out quicker if he would just stop speculating.

🚨 Elon Musk claims Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) could be approved in the Netherlands as early as March 20, 2026, based on what authorities told him during his Giga Berlin visit. Quote from Musk; “We’re told by the authorities that March 20th, it’ll be approved in the Netherlands… hopefully it stays that way.” However, the Dutch RDW told Follow the Money the date is premature. No decision has been made yet, and Tesla's application is still under review. 😒 This could be a key step for FSD rollout in Europe via the Netherlands. Still waiting for official confirmation! 🚗🇳🇱⚡️ Article FTM (Dutch): ftm.nl/nieuwsbrieven/… #Tesla #FSD #RDW #ElonMusk #AutonomousDriving

@rijkhoff @SawyerMerritt @KRoelandschap @Karanx_ Klopt, maarja, Musks tijdlijnen kunnen we ook niet vertrouwen.

@Richh94 @SawyerMerritt @KRoelandschap @Karanx_ Mooie niets zeggende reactie

NEWS: Elon Musk says FSD (Supervised) will be approved for use on customer cars on March 20th in the Netherlands.

@teslaeurope Look, a post from Tesla Europe!.... ... It's about FSD!!!... ... Still zero information about Dutch approval :(

Testing of FSD Supervised has begun in Abu Dhabi

@MarioNawfal It is correct it could drop any day now - both Tesla and RDW said there is a 'validation path' that ends this February. It is incorrect that everything would be ready on Dutch and UK sites. That's AI slop or just misinformation from @Tesla_NL_TR.

It looks like Tesla’s FSD Supervised is about to drop in Europe and the UK any day now. The full infrastructure is already live on their Dutch and UK sites, including the hidden €99 monthly subscription price matching the US.

@Teslarati Your source is incorrect, everything he "discovered" already exists, it's AI hallicunation.

@jaimevisser @KRoelandschap And when you ask something about that, he'll just block you. Classic engagement farmer, no credible source at all.

@KRoelandschap Unfortunately Berkant is sharing an AI hallucination. He also has a nasty habit of sharing news without mentioning sources. Not a good source of reliable information.

@rad202 Unfortunately, there are no real sources actually describing the existence of "is_supervised_active_eu". When you ask for more info, that 'source' just blocks you, haha.

🇳🇱 RDW Staus Tuesday 24th Feb. As of this evening, there hasn't been a "big red button" announcement, but all the stars are aligned perfectly for imminent approval. ​Here are the three most critical updates from today. ​1. The "Safety Principles" ​The UK Department for Transport (DfT) released a quiet but vital clarification regarding the March 5th deadline today. ​The DfT confirmed that the Statement of Safety Principles will specifically include a "Performance-Based" validation for User-in-Charge (UiC) systems. ​Why this matters: This confirms that Tesla won't have to follow old, rigid rules (like "the steering wheel can only turn X degrees"). Instead, they only have to prove that FSD Supervised is statistically safer than a human driver. This is the specific "win" Tesla needed to bring the US-style software to the UK. gov.uk/government/cal… ​2. Software Update 2026.4.1: The "EU Toggle" ​Technical logs from Tesla’s internal staging servers today show that Build 2026.4.1 is being pushed to "Internal Fleet" cars across Europe. ​Code-trackers have found a new variable in this build labeled is_supervised_active_eu. ​The Significance: This is essentially the "Master Switch." Tesla has now built the software so that they can activate FSD (Supervised) for every car in Europe instantly via an over-the-air command once the RDW or DfT gives the word. They wouldn't add this "production switch" to the main code unless they expected to use it in the next few weeks. [Source: Tesla Software Tracker] ​3. RDW "National Exemption" Update ​While the Ministry has not filed the Article 39 exemption yet, sources close to the RDW in the Netherlands indicate they have finished the "City Driving" portion of their audit. ​The Final Step: The RDW is now reportedly in "Phase 4: Safety Documentation Review." This is where they cross-reference Tesla's 8-billion-mile safety data against the results of the Eindhoven and Hague tests from last weekend. ​The Target: If the RDW follows its typical pattern, they will provide "Technical Advice" to the Ministry by Friday, Feb 27, which is the final business day of the month. The Bottom Line: We are seeing the "Software Ready" (the EU toggle) and the "Legal Ready" (performance-based rules) align perfectly for a March rollout. The "silent" period we are in right now is simply the RDW and DfT doing their final paperwork.

@Tesla_NL_TR @jstern111 You need to give more sources and make clear how you get this info. Just like the 'fsd is baked in the Dutch site' "rumor", it's just not there. No one could validate it. Same for that UK document that didn't do a 403. You're destroying your track record.

@KRoelandschap Iedereen is engagement aan het farmen, dit is fake, er staat geen FSD code op Tesla's websites.

@TheRedshaw @Rustavi g11*2018/858*01510*00 is probably the new battery in the Model Y Premium Long Range.

@Rustavi There was an approval for Tesla on the 19th Feb on the register of GB approvals so could have been for FSD? vehicle-certification-agency.gov.uk/publication/re…

🚨 BREAKING: FSD Supervised Launch in Europe/UK Imminent? 🇪🇺🇬🇧 New deep-dives into the source code of Tesla’s regional websites, the Dutch RDW (Regulator), and the UK Department for Transport (DfT) suggest we are in the "final seconds before midnight" for FSD Supervised in Europe. Here is the technical breakdown of what was just discovered: 1️⃣ Tesla Website: The Infrastructure is LIVE 💻 Hidden within the Dutch (NL) and UK source code, specifically in the fsd-billing-module.js and hidden Javascript bundles: • The €99 Hook: A commented-out line confirms the subscription model: // const monthlySubPrice = "€99"; // Pending regional compliance. This mirrors the US $99 price point. • The "Trial" Button: A hidden UI component tagged demo-drive-cta contains the text "Start uw proefperiode" (Start your trial) and "Order Now," currently set to display: none !IMPORTANT;. Tesla is literally one server-side "True" flag away from flipping the switch. 2️⃣ RDW (Netherlands): The Gatekeeper is Ready 🇳🇱 The RDW often leads European type approvals. Recent XML sitemap leaks reveal: • Exemption Registry: A pending entry for a "National Exemption - Software Suite v12.x/v13.x". • The Status: It is currently marked as "IN_REVIEW_FINAL". This suggests technical approval is complete, and we are only waiting on the administrative signature. • Metadata Leak: Keywords like TESLA-VAL-2026 have appeared in recent RDW newsroom updates, signaling 2026 as the definitive validation year for Tesla’s tech in the NL. 3️⃣ UK DfT: The "403 Forbidden" Smoking Gun 🇬🇧 The UK’s Center for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) appears to have the paperwork ready: • Reserved URL: A new hidden link has been detected: gov.uk/government/pub…. • The 403 Error: Clicking it yields a "403 Forbidden" response. In web-dev terms, this means the page exists on the server but is restricted to admin IPs. It is a classic "pre-deployment" state for a major government announcement. Summary: We aren't just looking at "hopes" anymore; we are looking at localized code, finalized pricing, and government-reserved URLs. With the UK's Automated Vehicles Act now in play and the RDW in the "Final Review" stage, the wait for FSD Supervised on European soil is nearly over. Buckle up. 🚀 Source: @jstern111 #Tesla #FSD #FSDSupervised #TeslaEurope #TSLA #AutonomousDriving #RDW #EV

@Rustavi Everything in this post is (unfortunately) incorrect. Nothing can be verified currently - or at least not anymore. There are a lot of sources pointing to next week as we all know, but this is not a good one.

@aikisteve @KRoelandschap @pvandamcom It probably is dependent on the driver indeed. Good to know, my driver actually wanted to talk, but simply was not legally allowed by RDW.

@Richh94 @KRoelandschap @pvandamcom It really depends on the driver, it seems, wheter they will or will notvtalk. My second drive with @KRoelandschap , the driver was quite chatty, as long as you cut sound and video of the driver

Finally ride-alongs in The Netherlands Great video by @aikisteve and TOC NL board member @pvandamcom

@KRoelandschap @aikisteve @pvandamcom The test driver pressed the accelerator to pass the weird traffic light situation. After that it went further on its own.

@Richh94 @aikisteve @pvandamcom Great video! Some interesting situations and FSD handled it smoothly. Was it an intervention where test driver pressed the accelerator or did the car handle it by itself? After that traffic light section where you sped up the video
