FSD Coming to the Netherlands – Implications for Sweden

There is still no official announcement from Tesla or Dutch authorities (RDW), but Tesla has started notifying around 1,100 FSD buyers in the Netherlands that they will get access to FSD (Supervised) from Sunday, April 12, 2026. The rest are expected to receive access in May.

This strongly indicates that approval is either already granted or very close. Tesla rarely rolls out features on this scale without regulatory clearance.

If the Netherlands gets FSD soon, Sweden should not be far behind. A summer launch here is realistic — if the current government acts quickly.

The timing is important. Swedish elections are in September 2026. Should the Social Democrats return to power, there is a significant risk that approval of FSD will be delayed. Given IF Metall’s conflict with Tesla Sweden, a left-wing government would likely put union relations before rapid approval of the technology.

We can only hope the current government makes the necessary decision before the election.
