Following the landmark regulatory approval by the Dutch vehicle authority (RDW) just yesterday, Tesla has officially launched its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) subscription in the Netherlands. This marks the first time the monthly payment model has been available in Europe.
While Tesla has ended FSD purchases in North America, it is still available in Europe. The new FSD subscription simply offers owners more options. However, expect this to change in the near future.
Two-Tiered Pricing
Tesla is acknowledging previous customer investments by offering a significant discount for those who already own Enhanced Autopilot (EAP).
FSD Status | Monthly Subscription Price |
|---|---|
Basic Autopilot Owners | €99/month |
Enhanced Autopilot Owners | €49/month |
This structure mirrors the pricing recently introduced in North America, rewarding owners who previously paid for features like Auto Lane Change and Navigate on Autopilot. For EAP owners, the subscription effectively serves as a low-cost upgrade to unlock the full city-driving capabilities of the FSD suite.
Immediate Availability and Functionality
The subscription is currently available for both AI4 (Hardware 4) and Hardware 3 vehicles. However, there is a small technical nuance to the immediate rollout.
For most customers subscribing today, your subscription will immediately activate the features of Enhanced Autopilot if you do not already have them. However, you may not receive FSD right away, as Tesla is slowly rolling it out with update 2026.2.6 on HW4 vehicles.
Netherlands First
The Netherlands serves as Tesla’s European headquarters, and the RDW has a long-standing relationship with Tesla’s autonomy engineers. By securing this first European approval (under the UN R-171 Level 2 DCAS framework), Tesla has established a regulatory beachhead that allows other EU member states to recognize the approval and launch the service in their own countries shortly.
