Summary

Tesla FSD launches in Denmark; the host, after a 7-year wait, tests it on a loaner, calling it a game-changer that flawlessly handles roundabouts, traffic, and parking, predicting a demand spike despite the $110 subscription.

Executive Summary

Tesla's Full Self-Driving has finally launched in Denmark, and the host—who purchased FSD seven years ago and sees the release date as a personal milestone—tests it on a Performance loaner after an airbag issue kept his own car out of service. Driving alone for the first time with FSD engaged, he calls it "unreal," as the system handles overtaking automatically without the manual blinker confirmations required by Enhanced Autopilot, making it a "game changer" for daily commutes. Throughout the route, FSD flawlessly manages roundabouts, narrow roads, busy intersections with buses, and even a supermarket parking spot, driving like a "very good chauffeur" and confidently taking gaps a human would. With a 30-day trial rolling out to 30,000 AI4-equipped Teslas in Denmark, the host predicts demand will "spike like crazy" despite the $110 monthly subscription, because no other car offers this capability at the price. His final verdict is that Tesla has essentially solved the core problem of autonomy, making the system feel like an "unsupervised robo-taxi" with only edge cases left to polish.

Key Points

  • ▶ 0:04 FSD has arrived in Denmark, but the host's own Tesla has an airbag issue, so they're testing FSD on a Performance loaner with Full Self-Driving.
  • ▶ 1:44 This is the first time the host is sitting alone in a Tesla driving itself, making them "quite excited," though they had tried FSD before in the US and at a Danish test event.
  • ▶ 2:12 The host bought FSD seven years ago and notes FSD became available in Denmark on 11 June 2026 — the same date they bought their first Model 3 in 2019 — calling it "destiny."
  • ▶ 3:05 Despite Denmark seeming to have objections in EU discussions, it became the fourth country in Europe to approve FSD, after the Netherlands.
  • ▶ 3:15 FSD is engaged for the first time, and the driver calls it “unreal” — the car drives itself while he only watches for mistakes, and it feels better than he would drive.
  • ▶ 5:33 Compared to Enhanced Autopilot, which requires manual blinker confirmation and often needs takeover in rush hour, FSD is expected to be a “game changer” by handling overtaking automatically.
  • ▶ 6:56 The route will test FSD on intersections, roundabouts, country roads, city driving, and parking lots — plus a recent speed-limit change that the old Autopilot definitely didn’t know about.
  • ▶ 8:08 FSD Supervised handles roundabouts flawlessly, a dramatic contrast to years of Enhanced Autopilot failures.
  • ▶ 8:30 The 30-day FSD trial for ~30,000 AI4-equipped Teslas in Denmark will "spike demand like crazy," especially since no other car offers this capability at a sub-average price.
  • ▶ 10:15 The $110/month subscription is seen as expensive, but the creator insists that trying it—and seeing it handle roundabouts and intersections—will win people over.
  • ▶ 11:05 FSD handles a busy roundabout, signaling correctly, and the driver confirms "everything is good."
  • ▶ 11:39 On a tight narrow road, FSD navigates with "no issue whatsoever," even confidently handling a car blocking the way near the house.
  • ▶ 12:45 The driver plans to test FSD's ability to drive to a supermarket and park itself, hoping to eventually send the car home on its own.
  • ▶ 15:26 FSD drives like a "very good chauffeur," handling busy roundabouts with buses and traffic effortlessly, and confidently taking gaps like a human would.
  • ▶ 16:37 The system successfully finds and pulls into a supermarket parking spot on its own, impressing the driver.
  • ▶ 16:46 Driver's final verdict: it's basically an "unsupervised robo-taxi" — Tesla has solved the core problem, and it's just a matter of polishing the remaining edge cases.
