Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver assistance software is now available in Lithuania, following approval in the Netherlands. Tesla is expanding availability in Europe to support ambitions centered on AI and robotics. The company’s financial targets include reaching 10 million active FSD subscriptions by 2035, while it currently has nearly 1.3 million paying customers globally. FSD (Supervised) launched in beta in late 2020 and has received ongoing updates to improve reliability and performance. The system can manage driving maneuvers such as steering, lane changes, and parking, while still requiring active driver supervision. Access is available only through a $99 monthly subscription. European rollout has been slower due to regulatory scrutiny, but EU-wide acceptance could accelerate deployment if the Netherlands’ regulator succeeds. Greece and Belgium are expected to authorize FSD as well.
"Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver assistance software is now available in Lithuania, the second European country to approve its use, as the company pushes to position itself as an AI and robotics powerhouse and not just an automaker."
"Making FSD available in Europe - which kicked off last month when the Dutch regulator RDW approved its use - is critical to Tesla's and CEO Elon Musk's ambitions. It's also financially important for Musk, whose $1 trillion pay package is tied to hitting a number of product goals, including hitting "10 million active FSD subscriptions" by 2035."
"Tesla has a long way to go before it hits that 10 million subscription figure. The company said during its first-quarter earnings call in April that it has nearly 1.3 million paying FSD customers globally. Tesla's FSD (Supervised) first launched in beta in late 2020."
"Today, the system can handle driving maneuvers, such as steering, lane changes, and parking. Tesla used to allow owners to pay a one-time fee for the software; in January, Musk announced the only way to access the feature would be through a monthly subscription that is currently $99. The rollout of FSD in Europe hasn't been fast or furious - regulatory scrutiny has traditionally slowed deployment compared with the United States."
