What Traficom wrote
On 23 June 2026 the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom (Liikenne- ja viestintävirasto) published an explanation of its assessment of Tesla's driver-assistance system FSD (Supervised), now called 'Tesla Assisted Driving' in Europe. Traficom writes that the approval under consideration applies to Tesla models with the latest hardware generation. According to Traficom there are around 6,500 such vehicles in Finland.
On older cars, Traficom is brief:
For older cars, the manufacturer has not initiated a corresponding procedure.
Why this matters
This is the clearest official statement by a European regulator on the hardware behind the approval. The national recognitions in other EU countries do not name a hardware version themselves. Traficom makes clear that the approved version was not applied for on older hardware.
For HW3 vehicles Tesla announced a software version of its own, referred to as 'v14 Lite'. It is not part of the version approved in the EU. A software update therefore does not unlock the approved system on HW3 in the EU as long as Tesla does not start its own procedure for it.
