Unconfirmed Reports Suggest Tesla FSD Supervised Approval For Spain Is Imminent
Two separate community sources have shared unconfirmed information suggesting that Tesla could receive approval for Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised in Spain as early as June 30, 2026. The reports come from individuals who spoke with Tesla employees involved in local testing programs.
The Reports and Their Sources
Information shared on X by @Jaime_Fe_Ro and @AnFloorwalker indicates that employees testing FSD in Malaga, Spain, expect an approval decision around the end of the month. A third account, @TheEVuniverse, also highlighted the same timeline. While these accounts are not official Tesla channels, the consistency across multiple independent reports has drawn attention from the FSD community.

We stress that the information is unconfirmed and should be treated with appropriate caution. No official statement has been issued by Spain's Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) or by Tesla at the time of writing.
Spain's Likely Regulatory Path
Spain appears to be following a national fast-track approval route for supervised driver assistance systems. The DGT has already overseen extensive real-world testing of FSD Supervised, giving regulators direct access to performance data under Spanish road conditions. This approach allows Spain to move independently of the broader EU Technical Committee process while still aligning with European safety principles.
Such a path mirrors the process used by the Netherlands, which became the first EU country to authorise customer use of FSD Supervised after thorough national validation. Spain's combination of high testing volume and clean safety record could position it for a similar outcome if the June 30 milestone materialises.
Known Testing Statistics for Spain
Publicly discussed figures from the ongoing DGT-supervised program provide a clear picture of the scale of testing already completed in Spain.
| Metric | Details |
|---|---|
| Vehicles in Testing | 30+ |
| Kilometers Driven | 80,000+ |
| Reported Incidents | 0 |
| Primary Testing Location | Málaga region and surrounding roads |
| Testing Status | Ongoing supervised program under DGT oversight |
The zero-incident record across such a substantial distance on diverse Spanish roadways, including urban, highway, and coastal routes, represents one of the strongest safety datasets among EU testing programs currently underway.
Implications for Spanish Tesla Owners
If approval is granted on or around June 30, Spanish owners of compatible Hardware 3 and Hardware 4 vehicles could see FSD Supervised become available through a software update shortly thereafter. Note that Hardware 3 vehicles would be subject to the v14 lite version that Tesla is currently developing. This would mark Spain as one of the earlier EU markets to receive the feature following the Netherlands rollout.
Owners should continue monitoring official Tesla communications and DGT announcements. The company typically provides advance notice to customers in approved markets before enabling new driver assistance features.
Outlook for Late June 2026
The reported June 30 date aligns with the next scheduled EU Technical Committee meeting referenced in other regulatory updates across Europe. Whether Spain chooses to act on its national testing data ahead of or in coordination with that meeting remains to be seen.
For now, the reports provide an encouraging signal that Spain's extensive testing program may be approaching a positive conclusion. The FSD community will be watching closely for any official confirmation in the coming days.
