Tesla Full Self-Driving Launch in Europe Pushed Back Again

Tesla's plans to bring Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to Europe have hit another delay, according to a report from Teslarati. The system's release in the region is now expected to be pushed back by at least a few months.

No Vote Scheduled for October

The European Union will not vote on approving Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system during its upcoming meeting on October 6. According to Teslarati, the draft agenda for the 119th meeting of the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles includes only a brief, 25-minute item described as a "continuation of discussions" related to the Netherlands. A formal vote on Tesla's system is not part of the scheduled agenda.

What This Means for European Owners

The absence of a vote at this meeting effectively extends the wait for Tesla owners in Europe hoping to access Full Self-Driving (Supervised). The feature has already been available to customers in North America and, more recently, China, but regulatory approval in the EU has remained pending. With the process moving to further discussion rather than a decision, the timeline for a European rollout has slipped further into the future.

Regulatory Process Continues

The Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles is the body responsible for reviewing and advancing vehicle technology approvals within the EU's regulatory framework. Teslarati's report indicates that the Netherlands-related item on the agenda will continue to be discussed, suggesting that unresolved questions remain before any formal vote on Tesla's system can take place. No specific new timeline for a vote has been provided.

Tesla has not issued a public statement addressing the delay. The company continues to expand Full Self-Driving (Supervised) availability in markets where it has received regulatory clearance, while European customers wait for further movement from EU regulators.
