Dutch Tesla owners have a two-week window to make a decision. Tesla will discontinue the one-time purchase option for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in the Netherlands on May 15, 2026 — after that date, the only way to access FSD will be through a €99/month subscription.
The one-time fee currently sits at €7,500. At the subscription rate, that's roughly 76 months — just over six years — before the subscription model costs more than the outright purchase would have. For owners who plan to keep their vehicle long-term and use FSD regularly, the math favors buying before the deadline. For those still on the fence about the feature, the subscription gives a lower barrier to entry with the flexibility to cancel.
FSD (Supervised) only received regulatory approval from the Dutch vehicle authority RDW in April 2026 — making the Netherlands the first European country to greenlight the system. It launched on April 11 running version 14.3, and both HW3 and HW4 vehicles are supported. The feature has been available with both purchase and subscription options since launch, but Tesla is now closing the outright purchase path less than five weeks after it opened. Owners who already have Enhanced Autopilot can access FSD at a reduced subscription rate of €49/month rather than the standard €99. This mirrors the pattern Tesla already established in North America, where the one-time FSD purchase option was discontinued in February 2026. The Netherlands appears to be following the same playbook, just on a compressed timeline given how recently FSD launched there.
