🇫🇮 Tesla Gets Another European Green Light — But There’s a Catch
Tesla just moved another step forward in Europe.
Finland’s transport regulator has granted provisional approval for Tesla Assisted Driving (TAD), allowing Tesla to immediately offer the system to customers on Finnish roads.
The system can handle tasks such as steering, acceleration and braking, but drivers are still responsible for the vehicle and must remain alert and ready to intervene.
There’s also an important change behind the approval: Tesla’s European “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” branding has been changed to “Tesla Assisted Driving.” Regulators also tightened the speed-control settings, including removing the ability to continuously maintain speeds far above the posted limit.
But Finland’s approval is NOT EU-wide approval.
A broader European Union decision is still pending. The next possible vote is expected in December, and Finland has made it clear that its national approval does not automatically mean it will support the technology in the EU-wide vote.
For Tesla, this is still meaningful.
More European markets adopting the technology could help Tesla expand its software-based revenue beyond vehicle sales — but the bigger catalyst would be EU-wide regulatory approval.
Tesla’s European autonomous-driving story is moving forward. The real test comes next. 🚗⚡
