Tesla Launches FSD Subscriptions in the Netherlands

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 is the first time the monthly payment model has been offered in Europe.

While Tesla has ended FSD purchases in North America, it remains available in Europe. The new FSD subscription gives owners additional options. This may change in the near future.

Two-Tiered Pricing

Tesla is recognizing previous customer investments by providing a significant discount to those who already own Enhanced Autopilot (EAP).

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, the 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.
