Tesla FSD Demo Drives Coming to the Netherlands

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) supervised demo drives are drawing attention in Europe right now. As of December 7, 2025, they run live in Germany, France, and Italy, with high demand leading to a recent extension through March 2026. In the Netherlands, official bookings are unavailable just now but fresh rumors suggest a rollout could start as early as tomorrow.

Are FSD Demo Drives Available in the Netherlands Right Now?

The short answer is no, not for public booking yet. However Tesla’s “Future Holidays” campaign highlights FSD ride-alongs in select European spots, but the Netherlands isn’t included yet. That said, excitement builds on social channels, where users report internal staff training wrapping up and business partners possibly getting first access.

What Fuels the Rumors of an Imminent Launch?

Whispers on X point to demo appointments opening December 8, 2025. Tesla employees are completing FSD training, paving the way for supervised rides. These would involve a Tesla staff member at the wheel, showcasing the system in real Dutch traffic alongside cyclists and through narrow streets. If true, it aligns with the holiday push.
