On June 10, 2026, the Czech Ministry of Transport (Ministerstvo dopravy) published a detailed official statement on its X account (@min_dopravy) regarding the provisional approval of Tesla FSD Supervised by the Dutch RDW. The post explains the ministry's current position and outlines the next steps at national and EU levels.
Details of the Statement
The ministry provides information on the current status of the Tesla FSD Supervised system:
- Validity: The RDW approval is only provisional and nationally limited to the Netherlands.
- Vehicle Count: The technology affects only a "limited number of vehicles, currently less than 300."
- Disclaimer: The ministry emphasizes that it does not block new technologies but must avoid untested risks.
Reaction from the Tesla Community
The Tesla community in the Czech Republic and internationally has strongly reacted to parts of the statement, particularly the claim that only "less than 300" vehicles are affected. Community notes and responses, including from Adrian Smrček (Tesla sales representative in the Czech Republic) and data analysts, point to significantly higher numbers:
- The actual number of FSD-active vehicles in Europe is estimated to be in the thousands.
- Tesla claims to have equipped over 1,000 vehicles in the EU with FSD Supervised.
- The Netherlands alone already has over 500 active users.
Outlook and Next Steps
The ministry continues to emphasize coordination at the EU level and a responsible evaluation. The next important date is the meeting of the EU Technical Committee on June 30, 2026.
The Czech Republic has created a legal framework for autonomous mobility at Level 3 (SAE Level 3) – as the second EU country after Germany – and is currently preparing an expansion to Level 4. The ministry states it does not block new technologies but must avoid untested risks.
Tabular Comparison: FSD Approval in Europe
Further developments in Europe can be found in the EU Regulatory Tracker. Tesla owners and the community are eagerly watching developments after the June 30 meeting and in other member states.
The Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA) has also stated its position on Tesla FSD Supervised: It is classified as Level 2+ and requires the driver's constant full attention according to Article 31 SVG. Releasing the steering wheel is not permitted.
