Do paid Autopilot and FSD features work on a Tesla from the USA or Canada after importing it into Europe?

My answer

FSD still does not officially work in Bulgaria. Tesla is doing everything it can to find a solution for the whole European Union so people can use it.

Several countries have already approved it individually, and people are using FSD there. Autopilot and Autosteer work. They have their own problems and things you need to know, and they partly depend on the software, but overall, they are available and work in Europe.

For a particular US or Canadian Tesla, check which features are actually available in the car’s menu. Tesla states that Autosteer and related features depend on configuration, hardware, software, model year and region. An “FSD” label in the listing is therefore not enough to promise what will work after importing it. Tesla

FSD (Supervised) also requires the driver’s continuous attention. It does not mean the car can be left to drive without supervision. Tesla
