- Tesla announced it will expand FSD V14 Lite to HW3 vehicles in international markets after the US rollout, but gave no specific timeline.
- Tesla said the international rollout depends on technical verification, regional adaptation, and regulatory approvals.
- Netherlands granted the first European approval for FSD Supervised, but only for HW4‑equipped vehicles.
- HW3 owners in Europe, who paid up to €6,400 for Full Self‑Driving since 2019, are excluded and have launched a collective claim site.
- Collective claim site has attracted about 3,000 owners from 29 countries, representing €6.5 million in FSD purchases.
- Tesla responded to owners' inquiries with a be patient answer.
Why it matters: European HW3 owners, who spent up to €6,400 on Full Self‑Driving, lose the promised functionality while Tesla must navigate technical verification and regulatory approvals, risking further customer dissatisfaction and possible legal action. The delay also underscores Tesla’s uneven global rollout, eroding trust among legacy customers.
