What looks like “FSD is coming to Europe” turns out to be much more messy, political and philosophical than headlines suggest.They unpack why RDW matters so much, how a temporary exemption could let Tesla *shape* future regulation instead of just absorbing it, and what happens if the Article 39 route fails and everything slips to 2027+. Along the way they zoom out: Europe’s shrinking importance for Tesla, the shift from “owning a car” to “buying transport”, the coming Cybercab wave, and how AI, energy and autonomy collide into a new economic order.Check out:- Tesla’s post on FSD in Europe: https://x.com/KRoelandschap/status/1992320393185742857?s=20- Kees’ take on FSD and RDW repsons: https://x.com/KRoelandschap/status/1992971468162912495?s=20- Post of Greentheonly: https://x.com/greentheonly/status/1991414891958473103?s=46&t=xqdJJOleebMe_vzuGspn1gIn this episode🚦 RDW, Article 39 & why a February “commitment” isn’t a done deal🌍 1.3–1.4M Teslas in Europe & what that means for FSD priorities🛡️ Safety first — Tesla’s data, regulators and “regulating for stupid”🚕 FSD vs Cybercabs — supervised driving or straight to Robotaxis💶 Cheap energy, transport & labour — sustainable abundance or lost decade for Europe🧠 AI 2027, arms races & why delaying tech only makes the shock bigger","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/DL43GlLNFZjnK5sFoloNKxdan1dYEdq73aYQ7RQ1N-8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81NzQ1/YzQ0YzBmNWJmOGIw/NjA3OWFkYWQyNTgw/YWZjMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
