Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is now available in Lithuania as the rollout across Europe speeds up.

      **Summary:** Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software has launched in Lithuania, making it the second European country to do so after the Netherlands. Greece and Belgium are anticipated to follow, but Scandinavian regulatory bodies are resisting, and EU-wide approval will require a qualified majority vote with no date announced yet.

      Tesla's Full Self-Driving software is moving beyond a single-country trial in Europe. Lithuania approved FSD (Supervised) on Tuesday, shortly after the Netherlands became the first EU member to do so. Greece and Belgium are expected to receive approval soon.

      The Lithuanian transport safety authority accepted the prior certification from the Dutch RDW instead of conducting its own testing program. EU regulations allow member states to recognize approvals from other countries, enabling the certified system on their roads. This process is a shortcut but remains legally valid.

      Tesla Europe confirmed the launch on X, announcing that FSD Supervised is now active for Lithuanian users. The Greek transport ministry indicated that a forthcoming bill would provide approval, as reported by Reuters. Belgium is likely to follow a similar recognition path as the RDW.

      The development is significant for Tesla’s overall strategy. CEO Elon Musk's $1 trillion compensation package is linked to achieving several product milestones, including reaching 10 million active FSD subscriptions by 2035. Currently, there are about 1.3 million FSD users worldwide, consisting of 824,000 who bought the software outright and 476,000 active monthly subscribers.

      The subscriber base is rapidly increasing. In the first quarter of 2026, Tesla gained 180,000 new FSD subscribers, marking a 51 percent rise from the previous quarter. In February, the company eliminated the option for a one-time purchase, making FSD only available via a $99 monthly subscription. This change removed the $15,000 upfront cost barrier and is expected to generate around $546 million in annual recurring revenue.

      However, the European expansion faces challenges. The RDW is advocating for formal EU-wide recognition through the European Commission’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles. Achieving this requires a qualified majority, which is 55 percent of member states representing 65 percent of the EU's population. No voting date has been set, with upcoming committee meetings scheduled for July and October.

      Emails reviewed by Reuters revealed considerable skepticism among Scandinavian regulators. Officials in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway expressed concerns regarding FSD's tendency to exceed speed limits and its performance on icy roads. Tesla's goal of achieving EU-wide availability by summer 2026 is starting to appear increasingly ambitious.

      Currently, the rollout remains a country-by-country process. Beyond Europe, FSD (Supervised) is available in Australia, Canada, China, Mexico, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Korea, and the United States. The system still requires active driver supervision at all times, managing steering, lane changes, and parking, while expecting the driver to intervene when necessary.

      FSD Unsupervised, the version that operates without human intervention, is confined to Tesla's robotaxi fleet in Austin, Dallas, and Houston. Musk has suggested that unsupervised capabilities might start becoming available to qualified customers by the fourth quarter of 2026, although he has made and missed similar claims multiple times over the past six years.

      The disparity between FSD's European goals and the continent's regulatory environment continues to be significant. With two countries on board and 25 remaining, the nations that are raising concerns are among the most influential in road safety policy in Europe. Tesla's gradual entry into Europe is being dictated by Brussels, rather than Musk's schedule.
