Tesla FSD Supervised Approved in Slovenia: Sixth EU Market Before October Vote

Tesla’s European Full Self-Driving (Supervised) map just gained another country. On September 7, 2026, Tesla Europe said Slovenia had cleared the driver-assistance system, with rollout to begin soon—Reuters confirmed the sixth EU approval on September 8 as an October 6 bloc-wide vote looms.

How Slovenia became number six

Slovenia follows a mutual-recognition path opened when the Dutch RDW granted provisional type approval in April 2026. Lithuania and Estonia followed in May; Denmark and Belgium joined in June. TechTimes and Not a Tesla App both frame Slovenia as the first fresh European market since early June, ending a two-month pause. Compatible Hardware 4 cars get a software unlock—not a new bumper—so the gap from clearance to on-road use is typically weeks.

Important caveat from TechTimes: the five countries after the Netherlands did not run independent safety reviews. They accepted the Dutch certification. That RDW safety file was sealed as confidential business information at Tesla’s request, leaving the public—and other member states—without the underlying test record.

October 6 TCMV vote: momentum vs. math

Tesla has pointed to a Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles (TCMV) vote expected on October 6, 2026 that could convert the patchwork into EU-wide authorization. A qualified majority needs roughly 55% of member states and 65% of EU population. TechTimes estimates the six approved countries represent about 9% of EU population—far short of the ~293 million population threshold—so France, Germany, or Italy still matter arithmetically.

France and Sweden have flagged Tesla’s Speed Offset behavior, which can exceed posted limits on surface streets. Sweden’s Transport Administration urged a no vote in April unless that capability is removed; TechTimes notes Sweden’s government later signalled an ambition for EU-wide ADAS approval on September 2, muddying the final stance. France has cited speed and urban attention-monitoring concerns even while running limited on-road tests.

What drivers should remember

FSD Supervised remains SAE Level 2: the human is legally responsible. TechTimes cites European subscription pricing around €99/month (about $114) or €49 for Enhanced Autopilot holders. Tesla also published company safety stats claiming fewer crashes than manual Tesla driving; independent researchers have previously criticized Tesla’s comparative methodology, per Reuters reporting summarized by TechTimes. Rocks’ read: celebrate the Slovenia unlock if you own HW4 there, but do not confuse six national clearances with an open EU file—or with autonomy that transfers liability.
