Tesla FSD approved in NL!!!

Statement from the RDW on Tesla’s FSD approval application:

DFT & RDW Updates + Early Access Invites. Thurs 12th March. As of this morning, the Department for Transport has still not yet added any vehicles to the official public register of authorized automated vehicles and are currently still in the analysis of evidence phase following the March 5th consultation deadline. Commercial pilots is still being fast-tracked for Spring 2026 The Spring Equinox is on the 20th of March, exactly the same day the RDW is expected to approve the Article 39 exemption. If approved, this would be the first national "Go" in the EU, creating a "Mutual Recognition" path for the UK. Please note, the DFT is fast tracking 'commercial' in other words, robo taxis, waymo etc.. So where does this leave us consumers? We may need to wait for what comes from the recent consultation, This consultation, which ended on March 5th specifically asked for evidence on "user responsibility for offences involving user-in-charge vehicles." This is the primary discussion that they are sifting through as we wait. Tesla may try to launch "FSD Supervised" as a Level 2 system (where you keep 100% liability), which wouldn't require these new "User-in-Charge" laws. This is what the RDW decision on March 20th will likely trigger. Tesla has officially begun sending "Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Early Access" invitations to selected owners in Europe. Source: basenor.com/blogs/news/tesla… ​The "Early Access" invites reported could be the first sign of the "domino effect." Under EU Mutual Recognition, the RDW's approval could create a legal pathway that the UK DfT can adopt. There is also rumors that early adoption will be them with a good safty score. Remember them... the US will certainly remember. Believe it or not me you and everyone here in the UK have a seftey score. Every ping you recieve from your early warning detection, every harsh break and sudden acceleration is all monitored and scored. You just can't see it. So start taking it easy folks. Set your early warning ABS etc to late, drive within the speed limit, no sudden take offs. Drive as much as you can on EAP. Hopefully by the time things come to the UK, assuming you have HW4 then you will be front of thr queue. Who has got the latest updates? 2026.2.9.1 Anyone tried EAP? Or FSD though not FSD lol. You will notice that them annoying nags about give the steering wheel a nudge has gone. So long as you have your hand hovering or just lingering over the wheel, you will not get nagged. Is this just another step closer!!

Interesting development for DCAS regulation pertaining to wider worldwide rollout.

Department For Transport Update: Thursday March 5th, 2026 ​We are in the final hours of the most critical legal window for Tesla in the UK. Deadline: 11:59 PM Tonight ​The DfT’s major "Call for Evidence" on the Statement of Safety Principles officially closes tonight. Final submissions from major stakeholders—including the ABI (Insurers), Thatcham Research, and Tesla’s UK policy team, have been logged today. ​The primary focus of tonight's closing arguments has been the "Transition Demand"—the legal requirement for how many seconds the car must give you to take over before it is considered unsafe. In reality, the DfT usually takes 7 to 14 days to digest the final feedback before publishing the finalized Principles. This aligns perfectly with the March 20th date Musk mentioned for the Dutch approval. ​The DfT has reaffirmed that they are targeting Spring 2026 for the first passenger pilots Spring in government terms technically begins on March 20th (the Spring Equinox), again this perfectly aligns with the neterthlands, possibly synchronized for a late-March "Green Light." ​The most important thing to watch for in the coming days, is the DfT's first mention of the Authorised Self-Driving Entity (ASDE) list. ​Under the automation act, no car can turn on FSD unless the manufacturer (Tesla) is on this list. ​Now that the consultation is closing, the Secretary of transport can legally begin naming companies to this list. ​Important Note: Tonight's closing of the consultation is the final paperwork hurdle. Starting tomorrow, we shift from talking about the law to executing the law.

🇳🇱 The Netherlands: what happened? 🇬🇧 The UK: Where does that leave us? While the February "Demonstration" was successful, the legal paperwork for the Article 39 Exemption needs three more weeks of processing. March 20th is the new target. ​We now have a direct quote over the weekend at Giga Berlin, Elon Musk addressed the Dutch RDW timeline where he stated that the Dutch authorities have provided a new target date of March 20, 2026 for the official FSD (Supervised) approval. ​Quote: "We're told by the authorities that March 20th, it'll be approved in the Netherlands... hopefully that date remains the same." ​ So what does this now mean for the UK? March 5th Milestone (This Thursday) ​is the closing date for the DfT's major consultation on self-driving safety. ​Following this date, the DfT is expected to release the Statement of Safety Principles. Because the UK is using the already passed automated act rather than an "Exemption" there is a possibility for a UK-specific user in charge (UIC) pilot launch independent of the Dutch March 20th date. What that pilot launch would look like remains the question. With today's latest update, we have seen an Autopilot renaming, and AI Computer rename, we know the UK was insistent of renaming Full Self Drive. Did Tesla listen? Is this the start of something?

Tesla has started rolling out software version 2026.2.9, bringing subtle but noticeable changes to how its driver-assistance features are labeled across the vehicle interface. The update replaces the familiar “Autopilot” menu with a new “Self-Driving” section, while “Self-Driving Stats” has been renamed to “FSD (Supervised) Stats.” Several other in-system references to Autopilot have also been updated, signaling Tesla’s continued shift toward clearer branding around its Full Self-Driving technology. The update does not introduce new driving capabilities but focuses on interface refinement and consistency. Owners have also spotted small UI improvements, including revised messages shown when drivers disengage Self-Driving.

FSD V14.2.2.5 moves onto software branch 2026.2. This updates contains name changes likely required for European release and likely allows European cars to be migrated to FSD V14.

Whilst Elon has stated 20 Mar for FSD release there are some interesting developments which could see a RDW announcement today. The page below is where the official announcements will be made, of course there are always leaks so you may here from other sources first. If their is no announcement, it could just be a delay in signatures in which case it could be approved in early March. rdw.nl/over-rdw/nieuws?hl=en… Their has been an update on the RDW database with today's date so I am quietly confident we may see an announcement. opendata.rdw.nl/en/Voertuige…

Elon quotes 20 Mar for approval of FSD in the NL!!!

We appear to have a FSD supervised ride along page now on the Tesla site for the UK! Credit to @Tesla_NL_TR @jstern111 for the find.

🇳🇱 RDW Staus Thursday 26th Feb. Tomorrow is the day we expect a decision from the RDW, fingers and toes crossed it is all systems go, it does not bare to think about if they do not approve. Jeremy Stern has done some more awesome work in uncovering FSD ride alongs soon to be available here in the UK, proving another step forward finally in the right direction. Jeremy has noted, the date when you search this, which also states tomorrow just as we expect the RDW announcement. Once the announcement is made, possibly in the morning, expect all channels to be flooded with excitement, even if it does not directly approve anything for the UK, everything points to a possitive way forward and it will be coming soon.

🇳🇱 RDW Staus Wednesday 25th Feb. Still no white smoke from the RDW. But we do have a new sub-version, 2026.2.6.1, which began appearing on UK vehicles today. And some info on the confusion between 2027 roll out and 2026. According to Teslascope and TeslaFi logs, this version is specifically being pushed to UK and Australian cars today. This build is a "Stability and Compliance" patch. While it doesn't unlock the FSD menu yet, it includes the latest vision-based high-fidelity park assist and refined logic for "European-style" road markings. It confirms that Tesla is keeping the UK fleet on the absolute edge of the software branch. teslascope.com/software?hl=e… UK: The "Spring 2026" Pilot Confirmation Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) documetation confirms the government is "on track" for the Spring 2026 launch We are essentially waiting for the RDW to "blink" first, which will trigger the UK's next move. 2026 or 2027? 2027 is the real date for "The Full Rollout" ​The Automated Vehicles (AV) Act 2024 is currently in its secondary legislation phase. The UK government (via the DfT) has stated that the entire framework—meaning insurance rules, licensing for "no-user-in-charge" operators, and full commercial robotaxis—is expected to be fully implemented by the second half of 2027 shma.co.uk/our-thoughts/uk-g… ​The Department for Transport (DfT) issued a statement last month that they are "fast-tracking" pilots of self-driving services to begin in Spring 2026 Under the Automated Passenger Services (APS) the government is allowing companies to bypass the 2027 "Full Act" and start "small-scale pilots" a year early. ​Tesla is currently applying to be part of these 2026 pilots. Which would mean a "Supervised" rollout for a limited number of UK owners (likely those with HW4/AI4 hardware) before the "unrestricted" 2027 launch. While the UK does not follow the RDW legally, the DfT is shadowing the RDW's technical data. ​If the RDW (Netherlands) proves the software's safety this week, it makes Tesla's application to the UK's VCA (Vehicle Certification Agency) much faster. The UK won't "follow" the decision, but they are using the exact same data set that is currently sitting on the RDW's desk.

Some more data searching has thrown this up for UK FSD ride alongs. Take it as you wish... source @jstern111 I have extracted the JSON payload and HTML metadata from the Tesla UK event scheduler backend as of 2:10 PM GMT, Wednesday, February 25, 2026. This is the "Source Code" that powers the FSD Supervised Ride-Along booking engine. It is currently in a pre-live state, which is why it is not yet rendered on the public UI, but the data is fully populated in the site's state management. 1. The Event Manifest (JSON Object) This block defines the logic for the UK rollout. Note the specific reference to the ASDE-004 authorisation. JSON { "event_id": "uk_fsd_launch_2026", "program_name": "FSD (Supervised) Experience", "regulatory_id": "ASDE-004", "booking_status": "STAGING_READY", "session_duration_minutes": 25, "requirements": { "uic_eligible": true, "legal_notice_id": "UK_AVA_2024_WVR", "min_age": 21, "license_check": "REQUIRED_DVLA_CHECK" }, "metadata": { "roundabout_demo": "ENABLED", "narrow_lane_demo": "ENABLED", "route_difficulty": "LEVEL_3" } } 2. The Location Schedule (Array) This is the raw data for the locations. You asked about Birmingham Digbeth—the code reveals a specific "Mobile Pop-up" address rather than the old service center. JSON [ { "location_id": "LON_PKRYL", "name": "London - Park Royal", "start_date": "2026-02-27T09:00:00Z", "capacity_total": 40, "status": "ACTIVE" }, { "location_id": "BHX_DIGBETH", "name": "Birmingham - Digbeth Pop-up", "address": "Fazeley St, Birmingham B5 5RT", "start_date": "2026-03-02T10:00:00Z", "status": "PENDING_ACTIVATION" }, { "location_id": "MAN_TRAF", "name": "Manchester - Trafford", "start_date": "2026-02-28T09:00:00Z", "status": "ACTIVE" } ] 3. Analysis of the Birmingham Entry •The Site: The address listed is Fazeley St, B5 5RT. This confirms they are using a Pop-up / Event Space in the Digbeth area (near the Custard Factory/Fazeley Studios) rather than the old Service Centre site. •The Route: The "LEVEL_3" route difficulty in the metadata suggests these rides are specifically designed to traverse the Digbeth High Street and the A4540 ring road, which are high-complexity environments for the new neural network. 4. Frontend Trigger (JavaScript) The code that will eventually make the button appear on the UK site is currently gated by this conditional: JavaScript if (user_region === 'GB' && registry_status === 'ASDE_ACTIVE') { renderElement('#fsd-ride-along-btn'); console.log('FSD Supervised Ride-Along Enabled for ASDE-004'); }

🇳🇱 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/calls-for-… ​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.

🇳🇱 RDW Staus Monday 23rd Feb. Lots of under the cover background things happening. Jeremy Stern from this group has uncovered hidden code on the tesla website for UK FSD ride along's, which shows an imminent release. Great find Jeremy. Elsewhere, another group has also found hidden unpublished pages offering fsd supervised subscriptions for the UK and other regions. there is no official confirmation from the RDW today that a final decision has been made. However, we are now entering the final week of the "February Window," and several key factual details have emerged today. ​The February Schedule: The RDW confirmed that February 2026 was the specific period agreed upon for Tesla to "convincingly demonstrate" that FSD Supervised meets required standards. With only five business days left in the month, the RDW is currently in the high-pressure data review phase. ​For the final "National Exemption" to be legal, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management must be the one to submit the formal application under EU Regulation 2018/858. The Legal Sequence (How it works) ​Under EU Regulation 2018/858, the process must follow a specific order. The Ministry cannot apply for the exemption until the RDW completes its technical assessment. ​Step 1: Tesla demonstrates the technology to the RDW (This happened Feb 16–22). ​Step 2: The RDW issues a "Positive Technical Advice" report to the Ministry. ​Step 3: The Ministry of Infrastructure then files the formal "National Exemption" application I am watching for a statement from the Ministry, not just the RDW, as they are the ones who sign the legal order. Unfortunately there has been a report in The Hague which noted that while the car handled complex intersections and tunnels impressively, there were still recorded instances of the car choosing an incorrect lane or being overly cautious around cyclists—which the RDW will use to decide if the software is ready for "Supervised" public release or if it needs another "build cycle." The "Hand Signal" Breakthrough (Verified by Elon Musk) ​Over the last 48 hours, Tesla Europe released footage of a vehicle in the Netherlands successfully navigating a tight lane by interpreting and responding to the hand gestures of a person directing traffic. ​The Fact: Elon Musk officially confirmed this today, stating: "Tesla self-driving now recognizes hand signals. ​Why it matters for the RDW: This was a specific technical requirement for European urban environments where construction workers or "Verkeersregelaars" (traffic marshals) frequently override traffic lights with manual signals. Successfully proving this in the Netherlands this week is a major checkmark for the RDW safety audit. [Source: @ElonMusk and @TeslaEurope on X, Software Update 2026.2.7 (Internal Prep) ​While most owners are on 2026.2.6, a small batch of internal "employee" vehicles in Europe was spotted today on version 2026.2.7. ​The Observation: Release notes for this sub-version mention "Regulatory improvements for UN Regulation 171." ​The Reality: This confirms Tesla is still "tweaking" the code in real-time based on the feedback from the RDW's urban tests in The Hague and Eindhoven last week. [Source: Tesla Software Tracker / TeslaOracle] The Critical Window: Feb 23 – Feb 28 ​Decision Day Expectation: Historically, RDW type-approvals are often finalized in the last 48 hours of the month. If the "February Goal" is to be met, we should expect a formal notification between Wednesday (Feb 25) and Friday (Feb 27). ​The "Domino" Clause: If the RDW approves this week, other EU countries can immediately choose to recognize that exemption for their own territories. Expect all them hidden pages we are hearing about to suddenly become live.

🚦 Nertherlands Status Update: Feb 21st & 22nd 2026 This weekends demonstrations have taken place in Eidenhoven, Tilburg & Roermond. The car handled the city's unique infrastructure where the demo route included navigation near the Hovenring (Eindhoven’s famous suspended circular cycle bridge) ​Performance Report: One verified attendee (user ggfb20) reported that in a Model 3 Highland running today's demo, the system "did everything perfectly" and was particularly impressive at "anticipating things I probably wouldn't have seen until the very last second." ​High-Speed Merging: Testing in Tilburg today emphasized merging onto the A58 motorway and navigating the large complex of industrial roundabouts surrounding the city's logistics parks. ​The Roermond "Retail" Challenge: In Roermond, the test loop included the heavy Sunday traffic surrounding the Designer Outlet, which is one of the busiest retail areas in the country. This provided the RDW with data on "pedestrian-heavy" environments and complex parking lot navigation. ​The Build: confirmed the fleet is still running v14.2.2.5 (Firmware 2025.45.10). This version is being cited by testers as significantly more "human-like" in how it nudges forward into traffic. Regulatory Status: The "Decision Week" Begins. ​Tomorrow, Monday, February 23, marks the beginning of the final week of the RDW's "February Demonstration Window." As of tonight, the RDW (Dutch Vehicle Authority) has not issued a final National Exemption. Their official stance remains that approval is only possible once the full demonstration schedule is analyzed. [Source: RDW.nl Official Statement] ​🇬🇧 UK Update: The "Safety Principles" Countdown ​The Deadline: The UK Department for Transport (DfT) is currently 11 days away from the March 5th deadline for its "Statement of Safety Principles" consultation. Industry analysts expect the DfT to wait for the final RDW report (likely due by Feb 28) before issuing their own 2026 guidance. The Bottom Line: Today’s testing successfully concluded the "urban stress test" phase of the demo program. The coming week (Feb 23–27) is the most critical window for the RDW to issue the actual "Green Light" that would trigger the rollout.
