"Tesla owner and influencer BLKMDL3, also known as Zack, recently took his Tesla to the border of California and Mexico at Tijuana, and at the international crossing, Full Self-Driving showed an interesting message: "Upcoming country border - FSD (Supervised) will become unavailable." FSD now shows a new message when approaching an international border crossing. Stayed engaged the whole way as we crossed the border and worked great in Mexico! pic.twitter.com/bDzyLnyq0g - Zack (@BLKMDL3) January 26, 2026"
"Due to regulatory approvals, once a Tesla operating on Full Self-Driving enters a new country, it is required to comply with the laws and regulations that are applicable to that territory. Even if legal, it seems Tesla will shut off FSD temporarily, confirming it is in a location where operation is approved. This is something that will be extremely important in Europe, as crossing borders there is like crossing states in the U.S.; it's pretty frequent compared to life in America, Canada, and Mexico."
A Tesla displayed a prompt that Full Self-Driving (FSD) will become unavailable when approaching an international border during a Tijuana crossing. The prompt indicates FSD will temporarily shut off upon entering a new country to comply with that country’s laws and regulatory approvals. Frequent cross-border travel in Europe makes such a feature especially relevant, since approvals differ between neighboring countries. Tesla has been pursuing regulatory clearance for FSD in Europe for years, testing the system in Spain, France, England and other countries while working through regulatory red tape to expand availability.
