A new Tesla factory software update — version 2026.27.100.1 — has appeared on 2023 Model X AWD vehicles in Gelderland, Netherlands, according to tracking data from Teslascope. The update ships with FSD (Supervised) pre-loaded, and it's exclusively available to recently delivered vehicles, not existing owners waiting on an over-the-air push.
Factory updates like this one are distinct from standard OTA rollouts. Tesla pre-installs them during the final stages of vehicle preparation, meaning the software — including FSD (Supervised) — is ready to go the moment a new owner takes delivery. If you're picking up a 2023 Model X AWD in the Netherlands right now, this is the version you're likely starting with.

Action Plan for New Model X Owners in the Netherlands
If you've recently taken delivery of a 2023 Model X AWD in the Netherlands, here's how to confirm your software version and get FSD (Supervised) activated:
- Check your software version. On your touchscreen, tap the Tesla 'T' logo at the top center → Software. You should see 2026.27.100.1 listed under your current version.
- Verify FSD is enabled on your account. Go to Controls → Autopilot and look for the FSD (Supervised) option. If it's not visible, confirm your subscription status in the Tesla app under Upgrades.
- Complete the mandatory tutorial. FSD (Supervised) requires a one-time tutorial and quiz before first use. You'll be prompted automatically — don't skip it. This is a regulatory requirement from the Dutch Vehicle Authority (RDW), which approved FSD for the Netherlands on April 10, 2026.
- Understand your legal responsibility. FSD (Supervised) is a Level 2 driver assistance system. You remain legally responsible at all times and must stay attentive and ready to intervene. The system is not autonomous driving.
- Check your hardware. FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands currently requires Tesla's AI4 (Hardware 4) computer. 2023 Model X AWD units should ship with HW4, but it's worth confirming under Controls → Software → Additional Vehicle Information.
What This Means If You're an Existing Model X Owner
This factory update does not affect you directly — it's pre-installed at the factory for new deliveries, not pushed over the air to existing vehicles. Your car will continue to receive standard OTA updates on the normal release track. The most recent general software version observed across the fleet as of late August 2026 is 2026.26.6.2, according to Teslascope's rollout data.
The appearance of a 2026.27.x factory build does suggest Tesla's internal software branch is progressing, which typically means a broader OTA release in the 2026.27 series could follow for existing owners in the coming weeks. Keep an eye on your Software tab for incoming updates.
