EVwire brief: Slovenia has approved Tesla's FSD Supervised for use on its roads, making it the sixth EU member state to greenlight the advanced driver-assist system. The approval comes less than a month before the EU's Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles is set to vote on bloc-wide authorization on October 6.

Slovenia joins the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium on the list of EU countries that have individually authorized FSD Supervised. Each approval adds weight to the case for continent-wide clearance at next month's TCMV vote, which requires a qualified majority: at least 15 of the 27 member states representing 65% of the EU's population.
That vote got a major boost last week when Sweden reversed its earlier opposition and confirmed it will vote in favor. Sweden's transport agency, Trafikverket, had flagged concerns about FSD Supervised's speed compliance, but ultimately decided the system met regulatory standards.

Context:
Tesla recently published its FSD Supervised Evidence Dashboard, drawing on data from 70,000 European users across 102 million kilometers (63.4 million miles). The dashboard showed FSD Supervised vehicles were involved in 4.1 times fewer collisions than manually driven cars. On speed compliance specifically, 98% of FSD Supervised driving was at or below the median traffic speed.
FSD Supervised is Tesla's most advanced driver-assist feature, handling steering, acceleration, and braking while requiring the driver to remain attentive and ready to take over. It launched in parts of Europe in early 2026 after years of U.S.-only availability. Country-by-country approvals have been the path so far, but the TCMV vote on October 6 could replace that patchwork with a single EU-wide authorization, opening all 27 member states at once.
