@HPAMike Heb dinsdag een ‘ride a long’ gedaan in Arnhem, was echt onder de indruk van FSD op de Nederlandse wegen. Laat maar komen 🤩

De datasets tussen Tesla en US Average bevatten wat aannames en verschillen in hoe het aantal ongelukken geregistreerd worden, maar dit is een gigantische stap voor verkeersveiligheid.

@TeslaDE195932 @dm_jns @TSLA_inside_ You don’t make sense.

@TeslaDE195932 @dm_jns @TSLA_inside_ Rumors often appear before facts do, but also often reflect something from the truth. Labeling or judging me without any argument tells a lot about your personality

Don't want to sound harsh, but unverified rumors like these are exactly what's fueling people's disappointments. Like how trustworthy is this information? Who's the person who told you this? Is this a person that would be informed regarding RDW assessment? So many unanswered questions. People really need to stop taking every rumor as the truth.

@TeslaDE195932 @dm_jns @TSLA_inside_ Did sleep for the last months? That was a message from Elon Musk in a video broadly spread 🤣🤣

@TimdeKraker @dm_jns @TSLA_inside_ Yes 😂😂😂 of course. Same rumors Like - FSD will be approved feb. 20 - spreaded by a another dutch bot called berkant

@dm_jns Indeed I see the same, we all want it so badly to be true that we grab a hold on the rumors. We don’t have anything else. Elon wants to go faster than the RDW allows him to push their timeline and process

@TimdeKraker Don't get me wrong man. I don't have any bad feeling towards you personally. It's just that these dates and rumors are being picked up so fast by people, in which every time they get disappointed afterwards. Happened too many times, now again with the March 20th...

@dm_jns First you question my credibility and now you want to know more? Let’s just wait what happens. I am hesitant to share more about my conversations with you.

@TimdeKraker Find it strange frankly that a Tesla Country manager discloses information like this with you, and the first thing you do is go spread it on X. Did he tell you this information can be shared?

@dm_jns If you where interested I would ask thinks like: hey that sounds interesting can you tell me more about the conversation.. etc

@TimdeKraker I'm just asking genuine questions, that's all.

@dm_jns I don’t get it, I share a conversation with a Tesla employee and suddenly it is about if this conversation has really took place? I would just say ‘thanks for sharing’ a lot of people want to hear what they say. I only post when I feel I have something to share

@TimdeKraker This ain't about teaching a lesson. This is about asking genuine questions with statements like these. No offense, but this is the first time you posted anything regarding Tesla. It's more than reasonable to question trustworthiness on your statement.

@Danspace22 @Rustavi It is private communication between Tesla and RDW, not public information. Also not verified, but if true at least more information then nothing right.

@TimdeKraker @Rustavi Why would they share that information with you and not publicy? The RDW makes a joke of themselfs..

🚨 Just one week left until a potential game changer for Tesla in Europe. 🇳🇱🇪🇺 Elon Musk said at the end of February during the Giga Berlin event that the Dutch RDW could give the green light for FSD (Supervised) as early as March 20, 2026. That’s next Friday. The first concrete date ever publicly mentioned for Europe. Why the Netherlands first? - RDW is the key authority (via Article 39 EU regulation + UN-R-171 compliance). - Tesla has already done massive testing. >1 million km across 17 EU countries, with recent demos in Dutch cities handling heavy traffic, cyclists, trams, and roundabouts. - The software (think v2026.2.9+ builds) already shows border warnings and shadow mode hints. They’re ready to push OTA the moment approval lands. Expected rollout timeline if it happens: - Netherlands: Immediately after approval (possibly late March / early April) OTA to HW4 vehicles with FSD package. HW3 will likely get a lighter version later. - Other EU countries: Through mutual recognition (other countries accept the Dutch approval), it can cascade quickly. Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia, etc. within weeks/months. Full EU-wide coverage possibly in Q2/Q3 2026, depending on how smoothly other authorities cooperate. - What you’ll get: Hands-off on highways, system initiated lane changes, much improved urban navigation, roundabouts & cyclists that FSD already handles well in demos. Still supervised (you must stay attentive), but way smarter than EAP / Navigate on Autopilot. Key factors that will decide if it really happens: 1. RDW demo & safety scores. Tesla must prove it’s safer than human drivers in EU-specific scenarios. 2. Political will. EU rules are strict, but recent UNECE Phase 3 (DCAS) changes are a huge help for AI-driven systems. 3. No major delays. Data from US/Canada and recent EU ride-alongs look strong, but bureaucracy can still surprise us. If March 20 actually happens, this is the moment Europe finally gets FSD. And the rest of the world sees how far Tesla’s AI has really come. 🤞🏻🔥🧿 What do you think: March 20 for real, or another delay? #FSD #TeslaEurope #FSDinEurope #TeslaNetherlands #ElonMusk $TSLA

@M1551LE @Rustavi @aikisteve I think the original first evaluation was on the 20th. But throughout the testing some new points have been found to clarify. And this proces can continue like this for a while. Hopefully we know more around 10th of April

@Rustavi @TimdeKraker @aikisteve Of course it’s true. You did not believe again that the date given by Elon Musk was true When somebody says « hopefully » and « I am told » you can be sure that it won’t happen Same for the roadster promised for years

@leRaffl Hope so 🤞

Falls into the "dude on the internet said" category, but seems kinda plausible. So April 10th it is then, huh?

@andhans_jail @Tesla Tesla NL

@TimdeKraker @Tesla Where stems that April 10th date from?

@tesla #fsd ride-a-long in Arnhem. What a smooth ride. Not on film, but FSD reacted to a child suddenly stepping out of a line of parked cars, crossing the street without looking left. FSD hit the brake, and stopped us 50cm before hitting the child. New RDW date April 10th

@aikisteve @Rustavi Tesla NL manager

@TimdeKraker @Rustavi What is your source for this?

@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?

@TimdeKraker @TeslaOwnersNL @sjmawa @KRoelandschap @grok en dan is het een evaluatiemoment he! dus.. ik acht de kans klein dat het in 1x er doorheen komt

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

@Rustavi But indeed I am just sharing what I heard, but it would make sense since we have not heard other news

@TimdeKraker More employees from Tesla centers told me things about fsd which later turned out not to be true. I hope that this is also the case. 🙏🏻

@Rustavi There are not that many Country Managers 😉

@Rustavi I’m sorry to ruin your day 🙈 On the other hand, if they are confident to set a new date so close, they probably think that last points can be solved in just a few weeks 😊

@TimdeKraker No fucking way. They can’t postpone it endlessly. 🤬
