On September 8, 2026, Reuters reported that Slovenia approved Tesla, Inc.’s FSD Supervised driver-assistance system for its roads, making Slovenia the sixth European country to clear the software ahead of a potential European Union-wide vote that Tesla expects as early as October 6. The Netherlands was the first EU country to provisionally approve FSD in April, followed by France, which raised safety concerns in July and has since begun testing two FSD-equipped vehicles following what its transport minister called a “constructive exchange” with CEO Elon Musk. A favorable EU-wide decision could allow Tesla to expand FSD across the bloc without negotiating separate approvals in every country. Second-quarter deliveries rose 25% year over year to 480,126 vehicles, beating analyst estimates, while active FSD subscriptions reached 1.48 million, up 56% year over year. FSD Supervised still requires drivers to remain attentive and ready to intervene, and regulators retain oversight, so any safety incident or regulatory reversal could slow expansion. Tesla still needs EU approval to unlock the full European opportunity, and must pursue individual approvals if the potential EU-wide vote faces delays or fails to produce bloc-wide clearance.
