Tesla tops 15,000 registered vehicles in Ireland — FSD approval still under discussion with regulators
Tesla said it has surpassed 15,000 cumulative vehicle registrations in Ireland, while reaffirming it remains in talks with Ireland's Department of Transport and the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) over FSD (Supervised) approval -- a status update rather than a new approval, with seven EU countries including Czechia already cleared.
Roughly a decade after officially entering the Irish market in late 2016, Tesla said it has now surpassed 15,000 cumulative vehicle registrations in the country.
Alongside the milestone, Tesla reaffirmed it continues working with Ireland's Department of Transport and the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) toward FSD (Supervised) approval. The update did not include a specific approval timeline or new regulatory progress -- it largely restates that talks are ongoing.
Tesla's European FSD approvals have been expanding quickly. Czechia became the seventh country to approve FSD on September 21, joining the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium and Slovenia, with an EU-wide vote on recognizing the Dutch approval scheduled for October 6. Ireland is not yet on that approved list.
For shareholders, this is a modest data point flagging Ireland as a future candidate for European FSD approval -- registration growth is positive, but FSD approval itself still has no visible timeline.
