Drivers in Netherlands and Lithuania log 20 million km on Tesla's Full Self‑Driving Supervised system

Tesla’s European rollout of Full Self-Driving Supervised is producing its first large public usage tally. Basenor reported on May 23 that Tesla owners in the Netherlands and Lithuania had collectively driven 20 million kilometers using the system, citing telemetry figures attributed to Tesla Europe. The figure emerged days after Lithuania became the second European country to allow the feature on public roads. It also followed the Netherlands’ April 10 approval, which opened the way for Tesla to begin deploying the software in Europe. ### Where did the 20 million-kilometer figure come from? Basenor said on May 23 that Tesla owners in the Netherlands and Lithuania had reached 20 million kilometers on FSD Supervised, and it attributed the number to Tesla Europe. The outlet said the combined total had been 15 million kilometers two days earlier, implying roughly 5 million additional kilometers in that span. A separate report from Abit.ee, published on May 23, said drivers in the two countries were covering more than 2.5 million kilometers per day on the system. That report also tied the total to Tesla’s official website, though Tesla did not appear to publish a standalone press release in the search results reviewed. ### Why were the Netherlands and Lithuania first? (basenor.com) Lithuania became the second European country to activate Tesla’s FSD Supervised on May 20, according to Electrek and other Tesla-focused outlets that cited the Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration. Those reports said Lithuania recognized Dutch certification rather than conducting a full independent approval from scratch. (abit.ee) The Netherlands was first. TechCrunch reported that Dutch regulator RDW oversaw the first European approval, and FSD Tracker lists April 10, 2026, as the date of the Netherlands’ landmark authorization. Reports on the rollout say that Dutch approval created a pathway for other countries to recognize that certification. (electrek.co) ### What exactly is Tesla offering in Europe? Tesla is offering FSD Supervised, not unsupervised autonomous driving. Reports on the European approvals describe the system as a Level 2 driver-assistance feature that still requires the driver to remain alert and ready to intervene at all times. (techcrunch.com) The European version is also not described as identical to the U.S. product. TheStreet, citing the Dutch approval record, reported that RDW said the software versions and functionalities in the United States and Europe were “not comparable one-to-one.” ### How fast is the rollout moving beyond those two countries? TechCrunch reported on May 20 that more European countries appeared to be lining up after Lithuania, and that the pace could accelerate if Dutch approval gains wider acceptance across the European Union. (tesery.com) Electrive reported on May 21 that Tesla is seeking broader EU-wide recognition, but said some countries had reservations during discussions coordinated by the European Commission. (thestreet.com) Tesla-focused trackers and industry sites have pointed to Belgium as a possible near-term candidate, while saying larger markets such as Germany, France and Italy may move more slowly. Those reports remain secondary accounts rather than formal announcements from regulators in those countries. (techcrunch.com) ### What should readers watch next? The next concrete milestone is whether additional European regulators recognize the Dutch certification that underpinned Lithuania’s approval. TechCrunch reported that RDW is seeking EU-wide acceptance, while Electrive said the issue has already reached discussions involving the European Commission’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles. (tesery.com) For now, the public record shows three dated steps: the Netherlands’ approval on April 10, Lithuania’s activation on May 20, and the 20 million-kilometer usage figure published on May 23. Any further expansion is likely to show up first through national transport authorities, Tesla Europe posts, or additional regulator notices in other EU markets. (fsdtracker.eu) (techcrunch.com)
