The conflict has to do with the system Tesla markets as Full Self-Driving, or FSD, which European authorities have yet to allow years after the company made it available to US consumers. The carmaker posted Sunday on X that its “main path” to getting FSD green-lit for Europe is through RDW, the organization that handles the approval and registration of vehicles in the Netherlands.
