Tesla has officially begun rolling out FSD Supervised to owners in Lithuania, according to a post from Tesla Europe this morning. The announcement marks another step in the system’s country-by-country expansion across the continent, following the regulatory groundwork laid over the past several weeks.

Lithuania’s access follows a regulatory process that mirrors how other EU member states have unlocked FSD. The Netherlands’ RDW granted European type approval for FSD Supervised on April 10, 2026, running on software version 14.3. From there, individual EU countries can recognize that approval through a mutual recognition process rather than conducting independent testing from scratch — which is exactly what Lithuania’s transport safety administration did on May 18, adopting the RDW’s prior clearance to enable the rollout.
The groundwork in Lithuania had been quietly building for weeks. Tesla opened FSD Ride-Along experiences at its Vilnius location starting April 20, letting members of the public experience the system from the passenger seat before it became available to owners. Tesla also began hiring Full Self-Driving Vehicle Operators in Lithuania and eight other countries in late April, signaling that a broader customer rollout was imminent.
For Lithuanian owners now seeing FSD Supervised become available, the system operates as a Level 2 driver-assistance feature under UN Regulation R-171. That means continuous driver attention is required — hands must remain available for immediate takeover, and the driver retains full legal responsibility for the vehicle. Driver monitoring sensors enforce attentiveness, and the system will temporarily lock out if persistent inattentiveness is detected.
On pricing, FSD Supervised in Europe is subscription-only — the one-time purchase option was phased out globally in February 2026. Lithuanian owners can expect to pay €99/month, or €49/month if they previously purchased Enhanced Autopilot. Tesla has indicated subscription prices will rise as the system advances toward unsupervised capability.
Lithuania is one of several smaller EU markets working through the national recognition process. With the Netherlands’ type approval serving as the pan-European anchor, the pace of country-by-country unlocks is likely to continue accelerating through the rest of 2026.
