🇷🇴 Tesla FSD is not allowed in Romania yet

Not recognised

Last checked 2 Oct 2026 · last change 15 Jun 2026

Short answer: No. RAR does not recognise the Dutch provisional approval, so FSD (Supervised) cannot be used on public roads in Romania.

RAR does not recognise the Dutch provisional approval. The Road Code (OUG 195/2002) fines releasing the steering wheel, so a legal change or EU-wide approval is needed.

Romania can either recognise the Dutch approval nationally, as 7 countries have, or wait for an EU-wide decision in the TCMV. The next opportunity for that vote is December 2026 (earliest). How FSD approval works in Europe (English).

Where you can use FSD today: Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, Czechia, Croatia.
