Tesla FSD has received approval in Slovenia. Poland remains waiting without any concrete updates.
Tesla confirmed on September 7, 2026, that FSD (Supervised) has been approved for use in Slovenia and is set to launch there “soon.” This is the sixth country in Europe to approve the system, and the first new one in over two months.
For Polish readers, the implication is clear: the map of European countries where FSD is available is expanding, but Poland still has no timeline for approval.
Sixth country in Europe, following the Netherlands and Belgium
The information was shared by Tesla Europe’s official X account. The announcement was brief: Slovenia has approved FSD (Supervised), and deployment is set to begin soon.
This ends the summer hiatus. Previously, Europe had five countries that approved FSD: the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium. Now Slovenia joins as the sixth.
Netherlands opened the path in April 2026. Its RDW agency granted the first approval, which other EU countries can later recognize. Things progressed quickly after that: Lithuania and Estonia joined in May, Denmark and Belgium in June, and now Slovenia in September.
On the list of markets outside Europe, Tesla already has the U.S. since October 2020, Canada since March 2022, Mexico and Puerto Rico since February 2025, China in a limited form since February 2025, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea from the second half of 2025.
There is also an important hardware detail. In Europe, FSD has so far been available on Hardware 4 / AI4, while earlier versions in the U.S. and Canada used HW3. This shows that Tesla’s expansion in Europe is more selective than the marketing claim of “already available.”
Voting in the EU this fall, with France and Sweden having reservations
Slovenia’s approval does not yet mean automatic opening up of the entire Union. A formal vote on broader acceptance of FSD in the EU is scheduled for fall, and Tesla is not in a strong position here.
France and Sweden, among others, are opposed. The main concern is how the system handles speed limits. The Swedes point to the “Speed Offset” setting and dynamic speed profiles that allow the car to travel faster than permitted by regulations. France raises similar arguments.
This is not a minor detail. If Tesla wants seamless implementation across all 27 EU countries, it must convince regulators on this point. Otherwise, it will remain a patchwork of individual national approvals.
Italy seems to be the closest to taking the next step. Slovenia is right behind it, so regulatory pressure in the region is likely to increase. Poland? For now, silence. This becomes more noticeable as even small Slovenia has already said “yes.”
In the end, everything will hinge not on Musk’s promises but on how Europe defines the boundaries of “regulated” autonomy. Do you think Poland will wait for a decision from the entire EU or try its own path earlier?
