Tesla is widening its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) push in Europe, with the company now offering FSD V14 ride-alongs in Denmark and Switzerland. Tesla Europe confirmed the two new markets on X, noting the feature is “now available in Denmark & Switzerland.” This expansion builds on the program first launched at the beginning of the month across Italy, France, and Germany.
For the unfamiliar, Tesla’s FSD ride-along program lets anyone experience the company’s driver-assistance system from the passenger seat while a Tesla employee sits behind the wheel. “Ride along in the passenger seat to experience how it handles real-world traffic & the most stressful parts of daily driving, making the roads safer for all,” says Tesla. Early participants say they’ve come away impressed with how confident and natural FSD feels, especially in dense city environments and on narrow European roads.
The program was originally supposed to run only through December. However, there’s been so much demand that Tesla has extended the ride-alongs through March 31, 2026. This comes as the automaker ramps up efforts to secure regulatory approval for Full Self-Driving in Europe — long considered the company’s toughest market for the system. Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently said the company expects its first EU approval sometime in early 2026.
FSD (Supervised) is now live in seven countries globally after arriving in South Korea, its newest market, last month. Tesla has been iterating quickly, too: the latest build, FSD 14.2.1, even allows drivers to text while behind the wheel when road and traffic conditions permit.
The broader push also includes new ways to try the software outside Europe. Tesla recently launched FSD subscription gifting in the U.S., just in time for the holidays, giving owners an easy way to share a month of the software with friends or family.
With ride-alongs now available in five European countries — Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Italy — and more likely to come, Tesla is betting that first-hand exposure will help regulators warm up to the technology. And with FSD development accelerating, the company is clearly positioning itself for a major European rollout once approval lands.
