Europeans Finally Get Tesla Full Self-Driving, Cars Still Don't Know Roundabouts
KEY POINTS
- •In April 2026, the Netherlands' RDW approved Tesla’s Full Self-Driving after years of delays and regulatory hoops.
- •Dutch Tesla owners praised FSD's urban skills but noted struggles with complex roundabouts and bicycle etiquette.
- •Owners with pre-2023 Hardware 3 are currently excluded from FSD, prompting legal threats over Tesla's unfulfilled promises.
After a decade of ‘layer cake of bureaucracy’ delays, Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) finally hit Europe in April 2026, delighting four Dutch owners who bravely tested it amid Amsterdam’s maze of bikes, trams, and confused pedestrians. Tim de Kraker chauffeured his son through tight canal streets while Patrick Sannes got so dizzy he circled a roundabout thrice before manually escaping—roundabouts remain Europe’s kryptonite despite FSD’s near-flawless highway heroics. CEO gamer Alex Nichiporchik called it 'life-changing' but noted it flashes passive-aggression at bicycles. Newbies must watch a safety video and take a quiz because EU regulations won’t let Tesla kids run wild. Meanwhile, pre-2023 Tesla owners scream betrayal, awaiting hardware upgrades or lawyering up over broken promises. Tesla’s silence on the matter is, ironically, fully self-driving.
