Where to try out Tesla self-driving cars in Spain – 5 cities currently trialing

Tesla has begun a new phase of its drive for advanced driver assist technology in Europe, by launching demonstrations in public. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system Spain. Trials began on 26 January, and interested participants can book rides in Tesla stores in 6 cities. This allows them to experience the software first-hand in real traffic conditions.

These trials are a major step forward for Tesla and other self-drive car manufacturers on a market that has been cautious in its regulatory approach, compared to China or the United States. The demos are not yet commercially deployed, but they build on the previous approvals for testing and hint at a possible broader European launch.

What is involved in the demonstrations

Participants join Tesla employees will accompany passengers in vehicles with Full Self-Driving, who are accompanied by Tesla staff to provide explanations. They’ll also be on hand in case anything goes wrong. The sessions demonstrate the system’s capability to handle everyday scenarios such as urban streets, roundabouts and crossroads. They also show how it can change lanes, enter motorways, and park automatically.

Tesla states that this technology is currently dependent on active driver oversight at all times. The driver must remain legally responsible and be prepared to act. It is not fully automated driving, but rather an advanced assistive tool.

Tesla’s official website is the only place to book. websiteThe sessions will continue until April 30, 2026.

Cities and locations where the action takes place

Five major Spanish cities are currently experiencing demonstrations.

• Madrid: Alcobendas, Fuenlabrada and other locations.
• Barcelona: Metalurgia is the focus of this event.
• Valencia: Select stores will host a dedicated session.
• Sevilla: Public Ride-Alongs Available
• Malaga: The national rollout is part of this project.

Tesla will be able to adapt to Spanish road conditions by using the urban centres selected for testing. They range from busy historic districts to modern thoroughfares.

Timeline of the European context

The programme will run from From January 26th to April 30thTesla is continuing to push for real-world information and public awareness.

Spain’s Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) authorised road testing With 19 FSD-equipped cars in late 2025 and a focus on data collection, adaptation to European traffic standards and adapting to European traffic regulations. The demonstration follows similar ones in France, Italy, Germany, and other countries.

Elon Musk at Davos (January) expressed optimism The Netherlands’ RDW authority was cited as the decision maker. If the Netherlands’ RDW authority makes a positive decision, it could lead to recognition in other EU countries before a full European Community-wide approval.

Tesla plans to roll out FSD (Supervised), in Europe, early in 2026 if regulatory approvals are granted.

Safety claims, system capabilities

Tesla cites worldwide usage data of over 11 billion kilometers driven with FSD activated. The company claims that the system can reduce serious accident risks up to seven-fold under active supervision. However, these figures are subject to caveats and based on internal metrics.

FSD (Supervised), in its current form navigates to destination, manages city driving and motorway driving. It also handles manoeuvres and turns, and controls steering and acceleration.

Spain has a glimpse of what the future holds for Europeans. Reservations for those wanting to experience assisted driving first-hand are still available.
