Big news for Europe! Elon Musk says FSD lands in the Netherlands next Month!

Tesla owners across Europe have good reason to feel optimistic right now. On February 26, 2026, Elon Musk shared fresh details about Full Self-Driving Supervised reaching the Netherlands. According to authorities there, approval could arrive as soon as March 20. This marks a real step forward after years of waiting for regulatory green lights in the region.

Elon highlighted how impressed people will be once they experience the system. He said, “People in Europe are going to be pretty blown away by how good the Tesla car AI is, in being able to drive.” That line comes from a recent interview clip that spread quickly on social media.

What exactly did Elon Musk share about FSD Supervised in the Netherlands?

Elon spoke clearly about the timeline during his latest comments. He pointed to March 20 as the date when Dutch authorities expect to grant approval for FSD Supervised. This update builds on earlier targets that pointed to February but now points to this specific mid-March window.
