Tesla logs 275,471 km of FSD Supervised testing in Spain with zero serious incidents

EVwire brief: Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised fleet in Spain has driven 275,471 km (171,170 miles) of public-road testing without a single serious incident reported.

The figures come from Spain's Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), the national road authority, which publishes safety data for every automated-vehicle test in the country. Tesla's 30-car fleet has been running since November 2025 and is by far the most active tester on that list.

The DGT lists Tesla's authorization, numbered FVA-03/2025, as automated passenger-car testing using DCAS (Driver Control Assistance Systems) at SAE Level 2. A driver stays behind the wheel and remains legally responsible the whole time, which is what separates FSD Supervised from a driverless robotaxi.

Here’s the DGT’s section for Tesla’s testing in the country (updated as of writing):

Tesla's permit is also one of the broadest on the books. The DGT lists its testing area as any national road in Spain, with no geographic limit, and the authorization runs for two years, through November 2027.

That authorization sits in the program's most advanced tier. The DGT runs three testing phases by technological maturity, and Tesla's 30-vehicle, Level 2 DCAS permit fits Phase 3, "pre-deployment," the only stage that allows more than ten vehicles and the last step before a system can be put into service.

The scale sets Tesla apart from everyone else in the registry. Its 275,471 km dwarf every other entry, and the largest figure reported by any other operator is the bus group ALSA's roughly 1,456 km. The only other company testing Level 2 passenger cars in Spain is the British startup Wayve, with just three vehicles, while the rest of the list is autonomous buses and shuttles at SAE Level 4, usually running one or two at a time.

It is early data and self-reported, but a clean sheet across 275,471 km is exactly the kind of number Tesla wants regulators looking at. As Jaan highlighted on X, this could help push Spain to approve FSD Supervised’s release in the country.

Context:

Spain built the framework Tesla tests under, the ES-AV program, as a national code for trialing automated and remotely driven vehicles on public roads, from early prototypes to pre-homologation. Transparency is one of its stated goals, which is why the DGT publishes each operator's distance covered and serious-incident count in the first place.

Spain's program also sits apart from the European markets where FSD Supervised is already live for owners. The Netherlands was the first to approve it for customer use in April 2026, with Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium following in the coming months. Spain is still a testing ground, but the volume is in a different league. Belgium's public-road test targeted 5,000 km (3,107 miles), a mark Spain's fleet has passed more than 50 times over.
