FSD Model 3 2019 - HW3 - Europe

Fred20224 | 2025-12-16 19:05 | 26 views

Hey so, I have this certain itch to buy FSD for my 2019 M3LR in Europe. Should I? I saw a video that it was performing pretty well in a different area of Europe but not where I live and its lowkey set me onto a 'hmmmm I wonder path'. Sadly they dont offer subscription style FSD here as they do in the US. Does anyone here have any experience with FSD on HW3 in an intel atom in Europe and mind sharing their experiences with it? I have a 40min commute to work and a 50min back across 70 roads or highways (depending on which I choose) and would like to relax a bit more during these drives. Thanks in advance for your guys' help!

I’ve got a ‘21 M3LR and even if FSD came to the UK tomorrow fully equipped, I wouldn’t spend £6500 or whatever it is on a car that’s now 4 years old. I’d get rid, and grab a new one from inventory that’s got the EAP upgrade for free, and use the £6500 to reduce the cost of a new car. If the subscription to enable a bloody software flag was per-user rather than per car, I’d consider it because it would follow me around. Until then, it’s a ludicrous price to pay, to NOT drive the car. I use basic autopilot on the motorway without any issue and drive the rest with ease, because it’s a Tesla after all.

U are basically not getting anything more then the standard autopilot in the eu. Even if u buy the FSD pack. Only two things u get (if u already got Enhanced Autopilot) is that the car stops for trafficlights and „sometimes“ for stopsigns. And it will probably still take 2-3 years till u get an upgrade to HW3 or HW4.

You’ll be paying a lot of money for literally nothing. Wait until it is approved in Europe.

dude, i am in the same situation . 2019 M3. FSD will never be approved in Europe. highways? yeah sure, the current autopilot is already quite good. municipal and small roads? never. most of those roads weren’t made for cars and even with LiDAR such problem would be impossible to solve. even if elon throws his dollars at the right corrupt association that regulates it here, the number of accidents/casualties would just be too high to keep it going. i believe this is quite evident for anyone who lived/drove in the US/CAN and in any european country. PS.: i do hope i eat my hat and my kids one day can sleep on their work commutes. i’m 29 and have no kids.

As we can see in several videos where FSD is used in Europe, it can handle the most difficult roads.

sure, you can find many “the most difficult roads” to include in the training set and yet will never have a representative sampling of “the most difficult roads” here. welcome to the beautiful mess Europe is.

I have HW3 with lifetime FSD in the US. I would not encourage you to spend thousands on it in Europe. We are waiting to see how Tesla fulfills the promise to upgrade us to HW4 for free. If you really want hours of hands-free long-distance driving in the meantime, spend $1,000 on a Comma 3X clone or wait for a Comma 4 clone to be released. No, it's not FSD, but it is life-changing.
