Update, August 19, 2026: Future Holidays was a store campaign with a Supervised passenger ride on the flyer. Owner FSD in the Netherlands came later (Tesery: Dutch RDW approval). The same week Tesla was already running ride-alongs in DE/FR/IT and then extended them through March 2026.
On December 2, 2025 Tesla Europe posted: “Come get in the spirit with us — Featuring Caraoke, FSD Supervised ride-along experiences, holiday light shows with our S3XY lineup & more,” with a link to the Dutch Future Holidays campaign. Open the original X post. That is a holiday open-house plus a passenger-seat Supervised demo. It is not RDW type-approval, not owner FSD on Dutch VINs, and not unsupervised Robotaxi in Amsterdam.

Key facts
- What Tesla advertised: Future Holidays in the Netherlands — karaoke, lights, S3XY cars, and FSD Supervised ride-alongs.
- What a ride-along is: Tesla’s car, Tesla staff, you in the passenger seat. Same format Tesla Europe had already posted for Italy, France, and Germany on Nov. 28.
- What this is not: FSD as a software option on Dutch customer cars that week.
A party flyer vs a homologation
Tesla’s Dutch campaign page is an event calendar. Homologation is a regulator letter. Do not mix this with Spain test permits or Austria job ads — those are other Tesery files. The public booking extension is Denmark/Switzerland a week later.
FAQ
Could I turn on FSD in my Dutch Model Y after the party?
No. You could book a passenger demo if Tesla had a slot.
Was Optimus at Future Holidays?
Tesla’s Dec. 2 post lists Caraoke, ride-alongs, and light shows. It does not name Optimus.
Is this the April 2026 Dutch approval?
No. That is a later type-approval story.
For Dutch owners: a holiday demo does not change Autopilot on your car. Watch the actual software notes after RDW.
