Tesla renames FSD in Europe to “Tesla Assisted Driving” after German pushback
Tesla has renamed its driver-assistance package in Europe as “Tesla Assisted Driving.” The German website no longer mentions “Full Self-Driving,” and the old address redirects to the new page.

- Germany considers the FSD name misleading; Tesla proposed “Tesla Assisted Driving”
- Proposed cap of +10% over the limit, versus +50% in the Dutch-approved version
🔎 Why it matters: The change responds to a October 6 BMV statement about the name “FSD – Full Self-Driving Supervised,” and Berlin links it to EU approval. In the US, tesla.com/fsd still sells “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” for $99 a month.
📈 Upside: Tesla would have to limit FSD to +10% above the speed limit, a change the article presents as a concession from Tesla.
📉 Risk: EU approval has slipped to December at the earliest, and France and Sweden have raised concerns about speeding.
